      I really hope playground pulls off Fable. Super super important game for Xbox to nail.

      I don’t want to get expectations out of control but yeah they’re definitely hiding something.

      Dev Directs usually have 4-5 games each year. I wonder what the secret game is this time.

      It’ll be nice to see Fable gameplay that isnt as extremely edited as its been. Just give me 5 minutes of normal gameplay.

      Time length not revealed but here’s when to watch it:

      > You can tune in at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK on January 22

      HERE WE GO

      Expectations set, no one bitch, as we still have summer showcase.

      If i recall past directs, most games on display launch within first half of the year. Maybe Fable is launching soon? It was due for end of 2025 and it will have to avoid GTA 6, so GIMME

      Game Freak going to shock the world when everyone sees Pokemon company is who’s holding back pokemon games all this time.

      Focusing on a third party Game Freak game rather than both Gears: E-Day and the Halo Remake which are both slated for a 2026 release is… a choice?

    18. SpectersOfThePast on

      Cool, but we need to see some gameplay of Gears E-Day. I’d take a 30 second clip.

    21. jmounteney44 on

      No Gears so I suspect that’ll get the big in-depth showcase in the summer after the main show

    24. awayfarersson on

      Forza is going to sell like crazy. A racing game in the japan countryside? Yeah that’s a a hit

    25. Spectre316 on

      I really wanted to see Gears and state of decay. But I’m still super hyped to get more looks on Fable and Forza.

      I saw Game Freak’s game on this Direct and I wondered if Xbox was publishing this. Turns out it’s from a publisher called Fictions.

      Given the technical state of Pokemon games, I’m still thrown for a loop seeing a “regular” game with Game Freak slapped on it lol.

      Hopefully we get a release date for FH6, and I’m hoping it’s soon. It looks like we have a loaded slate this year, and I would appreciate if the games had some room to breathe rather than being packed in a short timeframe

      This is a surprising lineup, I really expected the big 4 this year to be there. The only reason Gears and Halo make sense not to be there is if this DD is focusing on games coming out in the first half of 2026, but I doubt the Gamefreak game releases this soon.

    33. Khalid117X on

      Yes, can’t wait to see more of Fable and Forza Horizon. Almost unreal a studio will release 2 Games of this size in the same year. If they can pull this off, it will be a first for the industry.

    36. FastenedCarrot on

      I’m interested in all 3 of these but still hoping for a few surprises (Doom DLC 🤞)

    37. Obi-Dong-Cannoli on

      Please give us something about Gears EDay! I am so hungry for new content for that franchise.

    40. IllustriousHealth291 on

      Glad we’re getting a look at Fable. I wonder if we’ll see anything from Gears E Day though?

    44. dantemp on

      I fully expected they would keep Fable as their big thing for the summer fest. I wonder what it means that they are going to have the big reveal in January. Either the game is releasing within the next few months or they have something bigger for the summer. My TES senses are tingling.
