In this note we bring you a complete summary of the best that was presented at the Xbox Games Showcase, although we already spoiled you that you will not be disappointed at all.
FABLE
Although we all suspected that FABLE would be at the conference, the reality is that nobody expected a trailer of these magnitudes.
With a trailer that was clarified to be IN-GAME, Xbox started its event with a FABLE trailer that looks more than spectacularalso teaching some combat mechanics that will undoubtedly give us hours of fun.

South of Midnight
With a graphic section that will surely not leave any player indifferent, Comulsion Games presented “South of Midnight”his next project after We Happy Few.
According to the little information that is known about it, it is a third-person action and adventure game, set in the deep south of the US, where we must fight against monstrous creatures using magical abilities.
It is difficult to explain the striking graphic aspect, but we invite you to watch its trailer to be able to corroborate it yourself:
Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars Outlaws It was undoubtedly one of those great launches, which absolutely nobody expected.
Developed by Ubisoft, the game seems to be about an open world that we have rarely seen from the French company, and despite the fact that there was not much information about it, there is some good news: the title will be released in 2024 and tomorrow we will be able to see gameplay during the Ubisoft Forward.
33 Immortals
Were you waiting for Hades 2? Well, we don’t have that, but he showed up. 33 immortals which promises to be something similar.
Specifically, and as its name already indicates, 33 Immortals will be a Hades-style roguelike, but in which 33 players must fight cooperatively to kill off hordes of monsters and bosses.
The title comes out in 2024 and how could it be otherwise, it will be on Game Pass on day one.

Avowed
During the Showcase, RPG lovers also had enough content to keep them happy for a while thanks to Avowedthe new Obsidian game.
Despite the fact that the title was already announced, we now had the chance to see a fully in-game gameplay-trailer of the title, which proved to live up to the expectations around it. In any case, we leave you the video so that you can judge for yourself, and we remind you that if nothing goes wrong, the game will be released in 2024.
Sea of Thieves x Monkey Island
The collaboration that absolutely everyone was waiting for finally came true under the name of “The Legend of Monkey Island”, which will be a completely free expansion for Sea of Thieves, in collaboration with the Ron Gilbert franchise.
Obviously we can enjoy it completely free of charge via Xbox Game Pass, when it is launched this same July 20.

In case there are no delays, it was announced that the game will be released in 2024. We leave you below the new video and, in case you have the opportunity, we recommend that you watch it with headphones.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
The showcase also had time for some rather peculiar games, such as Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddes, a new Capcom title that will launch on Xbox Game Pass.
Specifically, it is a hack and slash highly inspired by Asian mythology, and despite not being something we are used to, the reality is that it looks extremely striking.
Forza Motorsport

Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty
As is customary in all video game presentations, we had the honor of enjoying for a few moments a recognized Hollywood figure teaching content about a title; in this caseWe are talking about Keanu Reeves, who plays Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077.
Available from this September 26 on next generation consoles and PC, Phantom Liberty will take us to live a new story in which we must save the president of the new United States, in what promises to be a much more focused experience on espionage and suspense.
We had the opportunity to test this game at the CD Projekt offices in Poland and we conducted an interview with the mission director, Pawel Sasko, which we recommend you read to see super interesting details of the delivery.
City Skylines 2
It may be a niche, but the reality is that (without anyone noticing) Cities Skylines seems to have stolen the place that Sim City held for so long within the genre; and now, the Colossal Order IP returns with its sequel.
