Summary: Xbox & Bethesda Developer Direct 2023

Xbox & Bethesda kick off 2023 with a new Developer Direct showcase. Missed the show? Here’s a recap.

We start the presentation with Mojang giving us tons of information on the new Minecraft iteration called Minecraft Legends, the PvP mode. Each session now being randomly generated so every game will be different, every game a new experience. The footage shown also looks very fun and inviting to play, so be sure to keep your eye on this one! Coming April 18 this year too!

Next  up is Turn 10, the studio behind Forza Motorsport, a highly technical racing game that belongs in the collection of every enthusiast. More than 500 cars at launch and 800 mods too, Forza sets the bar higher and more rewarding every single time. Launching with 20 environments in this new generation showcasing a few high detailed items in the presentation. I love the clouds personally, this game is possibly one of the best when it comes to dynamic display of the time of day. 4K and 60fps, just like you’d expect it.

Third is Tango Gameworks presenting the game called Hi-Fi Rush,a comic style game that appears to be a battler of sorts at first, then you get the impression it is a action platformer, the latter being the right one. A clearly different approach from the game studio that brought us the magnificent The Evil Within, a complete 180 on its usual genre and well, the official moniker of Rhythm action game is very well incorporated. The big surprise coming out of this, the game is launching mere hours after this presentation and will be on Game Pass!

Fourth in this presentation, Zenimax online studios is pleased to reveal Necrom, the next update for the Elder Scrolss, introducing a new class called the arkanist. This is the latest chapter for you to explore, though they do mention ESO also has tons of content from the past, like encountering dragons or frost trolls, …

Fifth and probably my most expected game from Arkane Austin, Redfall! Ever since that first trailer, I was in love with this game and the new footage shows a massive city with incredibly detailed landmarks, safe places like a fire station, … They showed a scene where you battle a shroud, which was just amazing, I totally fangirled on that one haha. Are you ready to explore beyond the bounds of reality? May 2nd, this year!
