Xbox has announced that Developer Direct is back for another year. The showcase will take place on January 24 and look at what’s coming for Xbox players, specifically South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, DOOM: The Dark Ages, and a mystery game.
So what can you expect? Last year’s Developer Direct gave us Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II’s release date, Avowed’s initial release date, Square Enix showcased Visions of Mana, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was officially announced. So expect some release dates or windows at the very least.
Here’s the latest trailers of these games to get you hyped up for the showcase:
