Xbox Unveil Anticipated Title January 23

Xbox's upcoming Developer Direct will unveil four games, with the fourth remaining a closely guarded secret. Hints suggest it's a new installment in a renowned Japanese franchise with a long history.

Speculation is rife, with possibilities including a new entry in the Resident Evil, Persona, or Ninja Gaiden series. However, the actual title could be entirely unexpected.

Xbox's Developer Direct series, launched in January 2023, has become a highly anticipated event, famously showcasing Hi-Fi Rush in its debut. Past Directs have featured titles like Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

This year's event, scheduled for Thursday, January 23rd, will showcase Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The mystery fourth game adds an element of intrigue. While fans hope for titles like Fable, The Outer Worlds 2, or Gears of War: E-Day, industry insider Jez Corden suggests a new entry in a long-standing Japanese IP, hinting it may not originate from Xbox's first-party studios.

While a Square Enix appearance, perhaps with a new Final Fantasy title, is conceivable, existing partnerships and recent releases make this unlikely. Other strong contenders include Capcom's Resident Evil (despite its usual PlayStation reveals), Sega's Persona (given Xbox's collaboration with Sega on Metaphor: ReFantazio), and a potential Ninja Gaiden revival from Team Ninja, given the franchise's history with Xbox.

Ultimately, all are just educated guesses. Tune in to the Xbox Developer Direct on January 23rd to witness the reveal of the mystery game and the other exciting titles.
