What to expect
In terms of what to expect, several games have already been confirmed. These include the following:
- Mistfall Hunter
- There Are No Ghosts at the Grand
- Aphelion
- Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive
Each of these titles brings something different. For example, Aphelion is a cinematic sci-fi adventure, while Mistfall Hunter focuses on PvPvE gameplay. On the other hand, There Are No Ghosts at the Grand mixes light horror with a more relaxed gameplay style.
Beyond these confirmed titles, the showcase will also feature plenty of surprises. IGN has mentioned that the event will include exclusive trailers, new gameplay footage, and fresh announcements. As expected, there will be “Lots of new indies to discover” over the course of the stream.
Previous ID@Xbox showcases have delivered unexpected reveals, so there’s a good chance we’ll see a few new games that haven’t been announced yet. Well worth watching if you enjoy indie games and want to discover something new.
