An Xbox Developer Direct presentation for 2025 may be announced tomorrow, according to a reliable insider. These showcases typically offer in-depth previews of upcoming Xbox first-party games, featuring insights directly from the development teams.

The inaugural Xbox Developer Direct, held in January 2023, memorably included the surprise release of Tango Gameworks' Hi-Fi Rush. The format uniquely features individual studios presenting their games, providing detailed looks at development processes, mechanics, and core concepts. A second event in January 2024 highlighted titles such as Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Avowed.

Given Xbox's strong 2025 game lineup, another Developer Direct is highly anticipated. A recent tweet from a known Game Pass leaker, eXtas1s, suggests a potential announcement tomorrow, January 9th, with the event possibly scheduled for Thursday, January 23rd. This aligns with a similar prediction from Microsoft insider Jez Corden.

Potential Games for the January 2025 Developer Direct:

The 2025 showcase could be Xbox's biggest yet, given the anticipated titles:

• Avowed
• Doom: The Dark Ages
• Fable
• South of Midnight
• The Outer Worlds 2
• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake (rumored)

Following a period of silence since summer 2024, id Software might unveil new details about Doom: The Dark Ages. The Outer Worlds 2 could receive a release date and in-depth gameplay reveal, while Avowed might get a final trailer before its February 14th, 2025 launch. South of Midnight and Fable are also highly anticipated and could benefit from similar treatment. The rumored Oblivion remake adds further potential to the event.

Xbox concluded 2024 strongly with releases like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, STALKER 2, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. 2025 promises even more, making this Developer Direct a crucial event to set the stage for the year ahead.
