XBOX\u2026 no, sorry, Xbox<\/em> (I\u2019m not doing the all-caps thing) is gearing up for another Games Showcase this summer, with a good look at brand-new games, trailers, and reveals promised for Sunday June 7 at 10am PT\/1pm ET\/ 6pm BST. Followed by a dedicated deep dive into Gears of War E-Day, it’s set to be a big day for all of those looking forward to seeing what this new era of Xbox<\/u><\/a> has in store.<\/p>\n

For context, last year\u2019s event<\/u><\/a> saw the reveal of Call of Duty Black Ops 7, Persona 4 Revival, Grounded 2, Beast of Reincarnation, Keeper, and Super Meat Boy 3D, as well as new looks at The Outer Worlds 2, Clockwork Revolution, and Ninja Gaiden 4. But what can we expect this year? Well, let\u2019s dig into the games we think we\u2019ll be seeing more of, some potential world premieres, and perhaps even more details on Microsoft\u2019s new console, currently titled \u201cProject Helix<\/u><\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Gears of War E-Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start with the one game we know is definitely showing up: Gears of War E-Day. As noted on the Xbox website<\/u><\/a>, the E-Day direct is set to \u201ctake players into the start of Emergence Day, offering new details, gameplay, and insights.\u201d The prequel was first teased at last year\u2019s showcase, but very little has been heard or seen since. We can expect a lengthy look following the main showcase this year, though, as well as presumably finding out its 2026 release date.<\/p>\n

Xbox Game Studios<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Playground Games may have just released the critically acclaimed Forza Horizon 6, but the British studio isn\u2019t done by any means. That\u2019s because its reboot of Fable, <\/strong>which was meant to hit in 2026, has just been delayed to February 2027<\/a>, and I imagine it\u2019s almost guaranteed to make an appearance here. Another look at it in action certainly wouldn\u2019t go amiss, as we learn more about this new version of Albion.<\/p>\n

The recently rebranded Halo Studios is due to release the remake of the original Master Chief story, Halo: Campaign Evolved,<\/strong> in 2026. We can likely expect to see more of this one in action, as well as find out when exactly we can expect to play this year. Maybe the game I\u2019m most looking forward to seeing more of is inXile Entertainment\u2019s Clockwork Revolution, <\/strong>which is looking like a fantastic blend of Dishonored and Bioshock. This one has popped up a couple of times at recent Xbox Summer Showcases, so hopefully that means we\u2019re getting closer and closer to a release date. After a good look at gameplay in 2025, we\u2019d love to know when it\u2019s going to launch at this year\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

And what next for Rare<\/strong>? It had been working for many years on Everwild before it was cancelled last summer<\/u><\/a>, leaving the legendary studio a mysterious proposition. Ongoing development will presumably continue on Sea of Thieves, but surely a new game is also in the works somewhere? The Killer Instinct, Viva Pi\u00f1ata, and Banjo Kazooie creators have as long a history as anyone at Microsoft when it comes to developing new series, but could we see it return to one of these? Another of its creations, Perfect Dark, seems even less likely, though, following the shutdown of The Initiative and cancellation of the reboot last year.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

First revealed back in 2020, State of Decay 3<\/strong> reemerged in 2024, but has been quieter than the dead since. Undead Labs has been working on this one for a while, and we might see it again on June 7 after skipping last summer\u2019s showcase. Obsidian, <\/strong>meanwhile, has been far from quiet, and had a very busy 2025, launching Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2, and Grounded 2\u2019s Early Access, so it\u2019s safe to say that we aren\u2019t necessarily expecting to see much from the RPG studio here. If it did want to spring a surprise Fallout New Vegas remake onto us, though, then we\u2019d happily take it. Both Compulsion Games<\/strong> and Ninja Theory<\/strong> have released games in the past couple of years, so it may be a bit too soon to see what they\u2019re working on next, but we certainly won\u2019t rule it out. Especially the latter, who is reportedly working on a third Hellblade that is more of a \u2018game\u2019<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Activision, Blizzard, and Bethesda<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Infinity Ward revealed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4<\/strong> last week, which will continue Captain Price and team\u2019s story as they head to Korea this time around. Coming later in October 2026, it\u2019s safe to say we\u2019ll get a peek at it in action at the Showcase, with the new DMZ mode promised to be shown off. Call of Duty is where most of Activision\u2019s resources find themselves going these days, but maybe a surprise second project will be sprung upon us. Though a long shot, a revival of one of the publisher\u2019s dormant series, such as a new Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, <\/strong>or Spyro,<\/strong> would certainly make people my age and older smile.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Blizzard can be expected to show off continued support for its live-service games, as Overwatch<\/strong> celebrates its 10th anniversary, Diablo 4<\/strong> follows up on its just-released Lord of Hatred expansion, and World of Warcraft<\/strong> evolves further beyond its Midnight expansion, which arrived in March. While that\u2019s all in the recent past, there are a couple of future possibilities. Although not expected this year, one of those is a look at WOW\u2019s upcoming The Last Titan expansion, which will serve as the finale to the Worldsoul Saga trilogy. Another is a look at Overwatch Rush, the mobile version of the hero shooter \u2014 although we admit this may well not show up at an Xbox showcase.<\/p>\n

When it comes to Bethesda, all eyes are on The Elder Scrolls 6<\/strong>. First revealed to be in development way back in 2018, Todd Howard has effectively said that it shouldn\u2019t have been shown that early<\/u><\/a>. But eight years later, is it finally time to learn more? We realise it\u2019s likely still many years away, but perhaps a look at a long-rumoured Fallout 3 remake could serve as a welcome stopgap. Elsewhere under the larger Bethesda umbrella, Id Software<\/strong> will have moved onto its next project after 2025\u2019s Doom: The Dark Ages. Will it be another Doom, a long-overdue Quake revival, or something new entirely? And will it even be shown at this year\u2019s Showcase? <\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s MachineGames<\/strong>, who will be following up on the excellent Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. I\u2019d love nothing more than a sequel to that adventure, but perhaps a return to Wolfenstein is more realistic right now. Reports of the final part of B.J. Blazkowicz’s Nazi-killing trilogy being in production<\/u><\/a> emerged early this year, so this could be the year we see the original FPS hero return. Finally, when it comes to Bethesda, surely we\u2019re due for a look at Arkane\u2019s Blade<\/strong> game. First teased back in 2023, the Lyon studio has been pretty silent since. It looks like we\u2019re never getting that Mahershala Ali movie, so please at least give us this.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Third-Party<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In regard to what other games we could see, well, that\u2019s much more of a guessing game. Based on what\u2019s been showcased at previous Xbox shows, though, we can at least take educated shots in the dark. I\u2019d personally love to see Persona 4 Revival <\/strong>in action, as well as finding out when I can get my hands on the remake of Atlus\u2019 classic JRPG. Staying in Japan, Gamefreak\u2019s first game outside of the Pok\u00e9mon universe, Beast of Reincarnation<\/strong>, was featured heavily during January\u2019s developer direct, so it could well be here, too.<\/p>\n

Action adventure spin-off Resonance: A Plague Tale <\/strong>could well be in line to make a reappearance, as could ex-Witcher 3 devs’ studio Rebel Wolves\u2019 vampire RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker<\/strong>. Stealth shooter Mudang: Two Hearts <\/strong>made a flashy debut this time last year, as did Aniimo<\/strong>, yet another contender for Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s monster-catching crown.<\/p>\n

There may be no Hollow Knight Silksong<\/strong> to speculate about this year \u2014 unless its DLC makes a surprise appearance<\/u><\/a> \u2014 so let\u2019s throw some random guesses out there in its place. The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past Expansion <\/strong>was just officially announced by CD Projekt Red, and while it seems too early for gameplay, with more promised at gamescom in August, you just never know. Ubisoft could show up, either with a new look at Assassin\u2019s Creed Black Flag Resynced, <\/strong>the in-development Assassin\u2019s Creed Hexe<\/strong>, or perhaps even the rumoured next entry into the <\/u>Far Cry <\/strong><\/u>series<\/u><\/a>. But no, there won\u2019t be any sign of GTA 6<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Project Helix<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Xbox has been teasing its next-gen console, Project Helix, for months now, after formally announcing its existence in March. At GDC, Jason Ronald, Xbox\u2019s VP of Next Generation, said<\/u><\/a>, \u201cProject Helix is designed to play your Xbox console and PC games, delivering high performance and providing the ultimate player-first experience. We’re partnering closely with AMD to define the next generation of rendering and simulation.\u201d Will we see any of this technology in action, or even a sneak peek at what the box will look like? We\u2019ll find out very soon.<\/p>\n
