You there. Have you got a minute? Did you stay up for September 24’s State of Play broadcast from Playstation – the one that took place last night UK time? Well, Xbox has now let everyone know which of the games we saw at it are currently pencielled in to also be dropping on its platform, and if you’ll just stop trying to walk through me, I can give you a quick roundup of the other big news from the show too.
Ok, ok, I’ll get to the point and start with those confirmed Xbox games, which the console maker shouted about via a handy tweet. Yep, just a big tweet that goes ‘these things, they’re a coming on over to greenville’.
Here’s the list, which includes some games you probably already know would be an Xbox thing too, along with what we saw of them all at the State of Play:
- Hell is Us – a trailer for what looks to be a supernatural, spooky game with soulslikey combat and faceless weirdos that’s set to release in 2025.
- Fear the Spotlight – a horror title from Blumhouse Games with some retro vibes, got a trailer revealing it releases on October 22.
- Dynasty Warriors Origins – a fresh trailer ahead of launch on January 17, 2025.
- Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remastered – a reveal after the revamp of the two classic soul reaver games leaked earlier in the day, it drops on December 10, 2024.
- Alan Wake 2: The Lake House DLC – a fresh trailer for the add-on that’s supposedly made a composer cry.
- Lunar Remastered Collection – a reveal of the remaster featuring both Lunar Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete, arriving in spring 2025 for classic JRPG heads.
- ArcheAge Chronicles – an announcement trailer for a fantasy “online action RPG” that’ll let you ride through some towns on a horse and fight some lads/dragons, which releases in 2025.
So, that’s all the Xbox stuff, with the other big headlines from the showcase being some free Astro Bot DLC, the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster actually being a thing – with a Lego Horizon Adventures release date of November 14 doubling down on the Horizon vibes -, and Ghost of Yotei, a Ghost of Tsushima follow-up that’ll arrive in 2025.
There was also a brief look at some games running on PS5 Pro, Stellar Blade collabing with Nier Automata for a DLC, and Palworld being shadow-dropped onto PS5. Other games to show up included LEGO Fortnite, Metro Awakening VR, The Midnight Walk, Hitman World of Assassination on PSVR2, and Towers of Aghasba.
I’m gonna breathe again now. How do you feel about all of that? Let us know below if you can, before you run off down this virtual street we’re standing on and get on with your day. Yes, I’ve no doubt you’re busy.
Right, on to the next one, I suppose.
