Highly Anticipated Xbox Games Still Awaiting Updates

Xbox has been incredibly busy this month, thanks to numerous showcase events that have recently occurred. These events have unveiled a plethora of upcoming games that will be released soon. While there were exciting surprises and highly anticipated reveals at these events, there are still many Xbox games that fans are eagerly awaiting to see more of in the near future.

Since there won't be an E3 event in 2023, several major gaming studios have taken matters into their own hands by hosting their own gaming showcase events. This has allowed gamers to get a sneak peek at games that will be released within the next few years, including titles that are not exclusive to Xbox. However, there are still a few prominent Xbox gaming titles that have yet to make an appearance at these events.

Xbox Games that Fans Are Still Waiting for More Details About in 2023

The upcoming installment in the Age of Empires series, Age of Mythology: Retold, is set to be the ultimate remaster of the beloved spinoff game. Initially unveiled in October 2022, Age of Mythology was originally launched in 2002. With more than 20 years of advancements in the franchise's Bang Engine, the remaster will undoubtedly make full use of these improvements.

Contraband, a co-op game developed by Avalanche Studios, made its debut at E3 2021. While specific details about the game remain scarce, Contraband draws inspiration from successful predecessors like the renowned Just Cause franchise.

Everwild, the highly anticipated game by Rare, was initially unveiled in 2019. Despite numerous extended previews, the game is yet to receive a comprehensive update from the developers. Set in stunning fantasy landscapes, Everwild immerses players in vibrant natural environments where they embark on a journey of exploration, protection, and building connections with the diverse flora and fauna of the world.

Fans of the Gears of War franchise eagerly await the release of Gears 6, although little information has been officially confirmed, teased, or revealed about the game. Speculation and hype surround its potential release, with some fans even speculating that remakes or an updated collection of the older games may be released before the sixth installment.

Fans are eagerly anticipating a horror game from Kojima Productions following the fallout with Konami after Silent Hills P.T. In 2022, alleged footage of a game called Overdose leaked online. However, some fans now believe that this footage was actually repurposed for the Death Stranding games. Despite the high demand, fans are still patiently awaiting the release of a new horror game from Kojima Productions.

With the Perfect Dark modern reboot being unveiled in 2020, players have been eagerly awaiting its release date. Despite the considerable time that has passed since its showcase, the availability of additional information remains uncertain.

Fans may have to wait until the release of the Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 sequel in 2024 to receive any updates on Project: Mara, which was unveiled by Ninja Theory in 2020.

There is limited information available about Project Maverick at the moment, as it is currently being developed by People Can Fly. Considering the early stage of development, it is likely that official updates for the game will take a few years to be released.

State of Decay 3 is poised to be a significant follow-up, especially considering the recent updates for State of Decay 2. While specific information about the sequel is yet to be unveiled, it is anticipated that details will be disclosed in the coming months. However, it is important to note that the game's actual launch may still be several years down the line.

Fans of the original Obsidian Entertainment RPG, The Outer Worlds, were given a glimpse of the highly anticipated sequel at the 2021 Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase. However, since then, there has been no further news or updates on the progress of The Outer Worlds 2. The teaser trailer humorously hinted that the game was still in the early stages of development. As of now, it seems that Xbox fans may have to wait until closer to the release date of another highly anticipated game, Avowed, for any additional information on The Outer Worlds 2.
