What to expect from Xbox Gamescom Day 2
The first day already delivered plenty for Xbox fans. Microsoft revealed Xbox Series X25 pre-order details, including its price and release information, while also giving fans another look at upcoming games. The company also showed its ongoing disc-to-digital testing, debuted a new Fable demo, and shared several updates across its upcoming lineup.
Day 2 has another large lineup, with games coming from both Xbox’s own studios and third-party developers. The broadcast is set to feature Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Turok: Origins, Stranger Than Heaven, Stuntman: Hollywood, Planet Zoo 2, Cassette Beasts 2002, Dune: Awakening, Kingdom III: Rising Realms, Armatus, Deep Dish Dungeon, The Séance of Blake Manor, DayZ, Son of Thanjai, Arkheron, Holstin, Tides of Annihilation, Albion Online, and Militsoner.
Several of these games could bring fresh gameplay footage or new details during the broadcast. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is especially notable following its recent beta, while Tides of Annihilation, Stranger Than Heaven, Turok: Origins, and Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen could also provide some of the more interesting moments.
Xbox has confirmed that its Gamescom broadcasts include gameplay reveals, new trailers, interviews, and special guests, so there could still be a few surprises that aren’t part of the announced lineup.
