Stay tuned for more from our games across Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda & Xbox Game Studios at gamescom, including our Aug 23 livestream for a look at Avowed:… pic.twitter.com/3RnyVwlHRa
Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer commented on the delay saying:
“We’re proud of what the [Obsidian Entertainment] team have accomplished with [Avowed] and want to make sure they have the best launch possible. We look forward to you enjoying it along with the rest of our lineup of games and updates coming this year and beyond.”
The game’s details via the publisher:
Welcome to the Living Lands, a mysterious island filled with adventure and danger.
Set in the fictional world of Eora that was first introduced to players in the Pillars of Eternity franchise, Avowed is a first-person fantasy action RPG from the award-winning team at Obsidian Entertainment.
You are the envoy of Aedyr, a distant land, sent to investigate rumors of a spreading plague throughout the Living Lands—an island full of mysteries and secrets, danger and adventure, and choices and consequences, and untamed wilderness. You discover a personal connection to the Living Lands and an ancient secret that threatens to destroy everything. Can you save this unknown frontier and your soul from the forces threatening to tear them asunder?
The Weird and Wonderful Living Lands
The Living Lands is a place that feels foreign yet somewhat intrinsic to you as it feels the island itself is calling out to you for help. Explore an island home to many different environments and landscapes, each with their own unique ecosystem.
Visceral Combat to Play Your Way
Mix and match swords, spells, guns, and shields to fight your way. Dig into your grimoire for spells to trap, freeze or burn enemies, bash them with your shield, or use range bows to attack from a distance.
Companions as Part of Your Journey
Companions from a spread of species will fight alongside you, with their own unique set of abilities. From a former mercenary to an eccentric wizard, they will be part of your journey with your choices shaping them as you help them with their quests.
Obsidian Entertainment’s action RPG Avowed will no longer be released in 2024, Microsoft has confirmed. Instead, the game has been pushed back to February 18th, 2025. The short reason given for the new release date is primarily due to the number of big games coming out in the second half of 2024. Instead, Microsoft has seemingly targeted a date which will be relatively quiet, allowing Avowed to get more attention.

Instead, Microsoft has seemingly targeted a date which will be relatively quiet, allowing Avowed to get more attention.
Avowed takes us back to the Living Lands, a mysterious islands in the fantasy world of Eora, which it shares with Obsidian’s previous Pillars of Eternity games. However, where those games were both top-down CRPGs and part of the genre’s revival over the past decade, Avowed will shift back to one of Obsidian’s areas of expertise: first person action RPG adventuring. Avowed is not a fully open world game, but has several large open areas that you can explore. In that regard it might be comparable to one of Obsidian’s other acclaimed hits, The Outer Worlds. In the game, you’ll encounter NPCs who can join your party and accompany you on your quest, with the option to have two companions at your side. As an envoy of the Aedyr Empire, players are tasked with investigating a spiritual plague that endangers the world. Throughout the player journey, there will be opportunities to wield the power to either save or doom the world, utilising a combination of magical abilities, melee combat, and firearms.
When Avowed releases, it will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.

Xbox is apparently aware of the packed release window toward the end of 2024/early 2025, so they want to make sure the game gets the attention it deserves, even if that means delaying its release. In other news, Sega has trademarked Yakuza Wars, which sounds like the next entry in the popular Like a Dragon series. Unfortunately the trademark paperwork doesn't even mention that this is a game, so it could be anything, really. And finally, a new Darksiders game was revealed in THQ Nordic's latest digital showcase. The last entry was Darksiders 3 in 2018, and this new entry will be developed by Darksiders 3 and Remnant: From the Ashes developer Gunfire Games.

Ever since Avowed was first revealed in 2020, its release date has hung in the balance. Fortunately, a launch may be on the horizon now that we've gotten more content about its upcoming features. Here's everything you need to know about Avowed's release window, including platform availability, trailers, and more.

When does Avowed come out?
According to the Xbox page, Avowed will be released on Feb. 18, 2025. The title was previously slated for a late 2024 launch, but now it has since been delayed. This is due to a decision to "give players' backlogs some breathing room," as other first-party Xbox games are expected later this year.

The Gamescom 2024 event will also reveal more information about Avowed's launch. So, be sure to check out this livestream on Aug. 23, 2024.
What systems will Avowed be on?
Avowedwill be available to play on PC and Xbox Series X|S. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on Day One release. Wishlists are currently available on Xbox and Steam.
Avowed trailers
In 2020, Obsidian Entertainment released Avowed's Reveal trailer, showcasing the return of the fantasy world Eora. The video provided a small taste of combat, as the playable character utilizes the brute strength of a sword and powerful spells.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS8n-pZQWWc
The Avowed Gameplay trailer digs deeper into the game's combat. As a first-person fantasy RPG, this title offers a diverse range of options, from guns to grimoires. The trailer weaves a few of these together, freezing an enemy with a spell and then striking them down using a sword.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv23HkHm3AQ
The Story trailer shows us what we'll be fighting for as the envoy of Aedyr. Players must uncover the truth behind the Living Land's greatest threat in the hopes of saving the island.

The video unveiled many locations across the Living Lands, where every environment has its own ecosystem. Companions will also join you on this quest, helping you take down the lingering threat.
Is Avowed in the same universe as Pillars of Eternity?
Pillars of Eternity and Avowed are set in the same universe. Avowed will take place in Eora, the very same world in PoE. Some wonder if Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming title is a sequel or prequel to Pillars of Eternity. However, it seems as if Avowed will be a standalone game, set in the same universe but with a new story and characters.
Během podzimu letošního roku se do světa Eora nevypravíme. Došlo totiž k oficiálnímu odkladu akčního RPG titulu Avowed. Není to ale z důvodu toho, že vývojáři ve studiu Obsidian nestíhají, nýbrž kvůli přetlaku. Microsoft má zkrátka moc her, které budou v den vydání dostupné v Game Passu.To přiznal také Phil Spencer.

Během podzimu letošního roku se do světa Eora nevypravíme. Došlo totiž k oficiálnímu odkladu akčního RPG titulu Avowed. Není to ale z důvodu toho, že vývojáři ve studiu Obsidian nestíhají, nýbrž kvůli přetlaku. Microsoft má zkrátka moc her, které budou v den vydání dostupné v Game Passu.
To přiznal také Phil Spencer. Šéf Xboxu napsal, že chce dát hráčům prostor k oddechu. „Jsme hrdí na to, čeho tým Obsidianu dosáhl s Avowed,“dodal Spencer s tím, že chtějí pro hru co možná nejlepší start.
Čáru přes rozpočet měl Microsoftu udělat odklad postapokalyptické akce S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Ta byla nedávno odsunuta ze září na 20. 11. Připomeňme, že po letní prezentaci se na okamžik na stránkách Obsidianu objevilo datum 12. 11. 2024.
Po letech strádání má Microsoft příjemnější starosti. Musí řešit, kdy, jakou hru vydá. Aby si vzájemně nekonkurovaly. To čas od času znamená také něco odložit na později, což mělo čerstvě odnést Avowed.Nadcházející fantasy akční RPG od Obsidianu bylo původně naplánováno na konec letošního roku.

Po letech strádání má Microsoft příjemnější starosti. Musí řešit, kdy, jakou hru vydá. Aby si vzájemně nekonkurovaly. To čas od času znamená také něco odložit na později, což mělo čerstvě odnést Avowed.
Nadcházející fantasy akční RPG od Obsidianu bylo původně naplánováno na konec letošního roku. Po letní prezentaci se dokonce na chvilku na oficiálních stránkách studia objevilo datum 12. 11. 2024. Moc dlouho tam ale nevydrželo.
Podle Toma Warrena z The Verge bude brzy oznámen odklad Avowed na začátek roku 2025. Microsoft se tak měl rozhodnout kvůli nedávnému přesunu postapokalyptické akce S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl ze září právě na 20. 11. Proč odklad Avowed ovlivnil právě Stalker 2? Jak už dlouho víme, hra bude dostupná v předplatném Game Pass.
S ohledem na to, že se Avowed nachází v závěrečné fázi vývoje, tak ve studiu měly začít práce na dalším projektu. Vyplývá to z informací na LinkedIn profilu uměleckého ředitele Daniela Cabucoa. Ten se z Riot Games přesunul do Obsidianu, kde od začátku července zastává stejnou pozici. Kromě Avowed v Obsidianu vzniká The Outer Worlds 2. Předtím vytvořili Grounded a Pentiment.
V průběhu několika příštích měsíců se chystá řada významných vydání pro Xbox od první strany, i když se zdá, že jedno z nich se o něco posune až do prvních měsíců příštího roku.
Podle Toma Warrena z The Verge se společnosti Microsoft a Obsidian Entertainment chystají oznámit, že hra Avowed byla odložena na začátek roku 2025. Fantasy RPG má oficiálně vyjít letos na podzim, přičemž předchozí úniky informací (a náhodné oznámení samotného Obsidianu) počítaly s listopadovým vydáním.

Podle Toma Warrena z The Verge se společnosti Microsoft a Obsidian Entertainment chystají oznámit, že hra Avowed byla odložena na začátek roku 2025. Fantasy RPG má oficiálně vyjít letos na podzim, přičemž předchozí úniky informací (a náhodné oznámení samotného Obsidianu) počítaly s listopadovým vydáním.
Podle Warrena se však chystaná exkluzivní hra pro konzoli Xbox S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl odkládá z původně plánovaného zářijového vydání na listopad, a Microsoft se tak snaží uvolnit místo ve svém edičním plánu. V zákulisí je Avowed údajně „v dobré kondici“, přičemž toto zpoždění má spíše dát prostor všem nadcházejícím velkým exkluzivitám pro Xbox.
Společnost Microsoft má na rok 2024 připraveno několik významných vydání, včetně her Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred, Starfield: V roce 2024 se dočkáme dalších her: Shattered Space, Towerborne, Ara: History Untold, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 a Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Společnost potvrdila, že se o nové informace o hře Avowed podělí na veletrhu Gamescom, takže je pravděpodobné, že právě tam bude oznámeno její odložení. Zůstaňte naladěni na další aktualizace.

Microsoft shared the news over on social media, inviting attendees to visit its "biggest booth yet" when Gamescom returns to Cologne, Germany, in August this year.
Microsoft will, of course, be the only major console maker to have at presence at Gamescom 2024; Nintendo confirmed it wouldn't be coming along back in April, saying there would be opportunities for players to try Switch games at other events throughout the year, and PlayStation confirmed a no-show earlier this week. Sony's absence hardly warrants a raised eyebrow, however, given it hasn't showed up since 2019.

In a short blog post shared by developer Obsidian last night, the upcoming RPG was listed as launching on 12th November. This came as a surprise to many, as there was no mention of this date during last night's Xbox showcase, where a new Avowed story trailer was debuted.
During the Xbox Showcase, Microsoft merely said the game was still on course to release at some point this year, with no further specifics. That was, until the developer shared a follow-up post on its website.
When Avowed was first unveiled back at the Xbox summer showcase of 2021, a dark and moody CGI trailer of burning arrows and fantasy spell-and-sword dual wielding - all from the studio behind the likes of Pillars of Eternity and Fallout: New Vegas - positioned it as something of a first-party Skyrim for Xbox.

When Avowed was first unveiled back at the Xbox summer showcase of 2021, a dark and moody CGI trailer of burning arrows and fantasy spell-and-sword dual wielding - all from the studio behind the likes of Pillars of Eternity and Fallout: New Vegas - positioned it as something of a first-party Skyrim for Xbox.
In the years since however, it's become increasingly clear that's simply not the game we should now expect from Avowed. It's bright and colourful, it's seemingly dialogue-heavy, and as we learned in further explanations of the game's combat it is, if anything, only quite loosely an RPG. As Avowed's director, Carrie Patel, put it to Eurogamer last year after a slightly unconvincing first demo of its combat, "the reference point we've been trying to point people to is The Outer Worlds."
Since then, things have been a little quiet on the Avowed front, but over the weekend Xbox showed another trailer, this time with emphasis on the game's overarching story - though again it was a little light on anything truly new. Thankfully, we also had a short roundtable interview with Carrie Patel again after the showcase ended, who spoke alongside the game's art director Matt Hansen and was able to outline just a little more of what we can expect.
I feel like we've already got a pretty good idea of what Obsidian's upcoming RPG Avowed is all about by now.

As per previous Avowed trailers, you play as an envoy of Aedyr sent to investigate a mysterious plague known as 'The Dream Scourge' that's spreading through the wild frontier of The Living Lands - an all-new region of the Pillars of Eternity world we haven't seen before.
But as the masked, flame-eyed knight in the trailer suggests, there's more going on with the Dream Scourge than meets the eye. They call it a "symptom of a deeper, more dangerous rot" in the land, and ask you to tame the chaos so that they might rise up and shape The Living Lands' future.

Joe Skrebels, Xbox Wire Editor-in-Chief

Yesterday, Avowed appeared at the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 with a brand new trailer, revealing more of the game’s captivating story and giving us further insight into one of your four companions, Giatta. If you came out of that wanting to see more, we have a treat for you; on a special episode of the Official Xbox Podcast, Avowed Game Director Carrie Patel joined hosts Malik Prince and Tina Amini to dive deeper into the gameplay players can expect from the upcoming fantasy action RPG.
We got to see a lot more of the game – which arrives later this year for Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and cloud (and coming day one to Game Pass) – revealing more of the Emerald Stair region, showing us two possible approaches to the same quest, the game’s Party Camp, upgrade systems, an optional 3rd-person viewpoint, and more. You can watch the full episode below, or read on for all the key new details.
Patel started by introducing the Emerald Stair region – which you’ll arrive into fairly early into the game – and showed off the region at night. Avowed’s dynamic day-night cycle will change the atmosphere of each of the game’s fantastical biomes significantly, and Emerald Stair after sunset is particularly gorgeous – the nearby town of Fior is home to an enclave of Animancers, who study the science of souls including the Dreamscourge plague sweeping the game’s Living Lands setting (find out more about that here), and their arcane equipment lights up the sky with a deep purple glow.
Speaking of Animancers, the gameplay we saw showed the player on a quest to help them – but before we got there, we met one of the game’s soon-to-be companions, Yatzli. Patel describes Yatzli as “a little lightning ball with a lot of personality,” pointing out that she can get “a little risqué,” and we see very quickly that her dialogue immediately takes a flirtatious tone. This also shows off Obsidian’s trademark of engaging dialogue and choices – certain attributes or character backgrounds you choose will unlock new options, which can add more personality, or even change the outcomes of your conversations.
Yatzli sends us off to collect a Godless Vase – an artifact of the people she studies – and the player is plunged into combat. Even using a mixture of spells, ranged attacks, and melee, we saw the player struggling to take down even smaller enemies at this point – and it’s here that we saw the game’s Party Camp feature.
“It’s both your narrative hub and also your upgrade hub,” said Patel. “That’s where you’ll get to know your companions better, you can get to know their backstories and get to know them better as individuals – you can also hear them getting to know one another through their banters at camp, which is always super-fun to eavesdrop on.”
“One thing we really wanted to create with Party Camp,” continued Patel, “was the sense that you’re adventuring and exploring together through this big wilderness, all of these different landscapes, and Party Camp is this quiet space where you can all huddle together, share a moment of respite, and the pace and the tone of everything is a lot slower and quieter.” As you travel through the game, you’ll hear your companions discuss their lives, share perspectives on what you’ve done together, and perhaps even come into conflict about the decisions that need to be made.
But it also serves an all-important mechanical function: “It’s also where we can upgrade our gear. So we’ve got our Party Stash where we can stow a lot of extra equipment, we’ve got our upgrade screens […] we’re taking some of our older gear that we’ve picked up in the previous region, and we’re going to upgrade it so that we’re better equipped to fight the enemies here.”
With new upgrades in place, the player took down enemies far more capably – helped along by Obsidian’s choice to reflect how effective your attacks are visually and audibly: “We want to make sure that players are getting clear feedback as to when their gear is effective and when, maybe, they need to go back to camp. It looks, it feels, it sounds different when you’re playing with appropriately leveled gear.”
We want to make sure that players are getting clear feedback as to when their gear is effective and when, maybe, they need to go back to camp.

We also got a good look at the game’s upgrade system for skills and abilities. “You can upgrade your skills and abilities anywhere as you level up throughout the course of the game,” said Patel. “On certain level-up milestones we’ll get to upgrade our attributes […] and on every level-up milestone we’ll get to pick a new ability.”
This quickly bears fruit, as we see the Fan of Flames skill unlocked and used to reduce a previously-blocked path to ashes. But it wasn’t the only option:
“We wanted to try to, as much as possible, give the different abilities that players can pick up solutions in combat, but also solutions in exploration,” explained Patel. “So there’s almost always more than one way through a particular barrier. You’ll have weapons, your own abilities, spells, weapon enchantments, sometimes even your companions who can use their environmental abilities to help you get through barriers.”
That openness to problem-solving is never clearer than in the other quest we saw in the demo. Having recovered the vase for Yatzli – a key part in your journey to unlocking her as a permanent companion – we saw the player set off to recover an Adragan Heart for the Animancers. This mystical object is being held by the Delemgan, a territorial species who don’t take kindly to adventurers passing through their land.
Initially, we saw the player take a heads-on approach, battling through multiple Delemgan and using every combat ability at their disposal to reach their Queen – who immediately attacks the player for killing so many of her followers. This player would have to finish her off in a boss fight to claim the heart. But here’s where we saw some of Obsidian’s trademark of player choice.
The demo was reloaded, and we saw the player utilizing in-game currency to fully respec their character – adding multiple Ranger abilities that allow them to take a stealthy approach. Using the Shadowing Beyond skill – which renders them invisible for as long as their Essence (the game’s mana) intact, and without engaging any enemies – they took multiple passages to reach the Delemgan Queen without any combat. In doing so, they found her in a far better mood, gifting them the Heart and letting them go in peace.
It’s emblematic of how open Avowed will be to interpretation, and how your choices will allow you to take different paths to get what you need. Skills in particular, are totally open to how you choose to use them:
“You can really mix and match freely between them,” said Patel. “If you want to be all-wizard, you can build entirely throughout that skill tree; if you want to mix and match – make a battlemage, or make someone who can be a little stealthy in certain moments and a little more aggressive in others – you have a lot of freedom to do that.”
If you want to be all-wizard, you can build entirely throughout that skill tree; if you want to mix and match… you have a lot of freedom to do that.”
That openness extends to your cosmetic choices too. We got a glimpse at the game’s optional 3rd person mode – players can choose to play in 1st or 3rd person perspectives – and your choices will be displayed prominently on them too. Your character is a godlike – someone who has been touched by one of the gods that reside in the world of Eora – and it shows, quite literally.
Part of creating your character will be in choosing how your godlike status has manifested. The player-character in the demo has a lichen-like growth across their face or head, but this is part of the character creation process. “With Avowed you can choose exactly what that manifestation looks like,” said Patel. “You will have some that are a lot bigger and more dramatic, and you’ll also have some that are a lot subtler. But either way you have a connection to one of the gods.”
Characters in the world will react to your appearance too: “Some people think that’s very cool, some people think it’s very spooky. Different cultures and individuals have different ways of relating to godlikes, so you’ll get a number of reactions.”
But the key mystery is that, unlike most godlikes, you don’t know which god has put their mark on you. That’s a story point that Patel wouldn’t touch on further – we’ll just have to find out together when Avowed arrives this year.

Na oficiálním blogu studia Obsidian se na okamžik datum objevilo.
Dle něj má Avowed vyjít 12. 11. tohoto roku. Pak ale datum zmizelo a místo něj vývojáři napsali, že posledních několik měsíců bylo v týmu velmi rychlých a vzrušujících. Znamená to, že by Avowed mohlo vyjít dříve? To v současné době nevíme. Možná jen Microsoft nechce na autory tlačit a dává jim prostor. Ostatně, ani Indiana Jones and the Great Circle nemá přesný termín; i u něj svítí jen rok 2024.
Avowed se na Xbox Games Showcase 2024 ukázalo v příběhovém traileru. Nové RPG z pohledu první osoby od studia Obsidian (autoři The Outer Worlds a Fallout: New Vegas) nás zavede do světa Pillars of Eternity a umožní nám různými způsoby kombinovat zbraně a magii.
"Vítejte na záhadném ostrově Living Lands protkaném dobrodružstvím i nebezpečím. Dokážete zachránit svou duši i ostrov před hrozící zkázou?" stojí v popisku.
Avowed vyjde v letošním roce pro PC a Xbox Series X/S, ale konkrétní datum zatím neznáme. Místo toho je jisté uvedení v Game Passu.
Avowed, the next RPG from those famed RPG creators at Obsidian, got another trailer during the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase this weekend. The new footage confirmed it's coming this year, but Avowed had a full release date revealed elsewhere before it was quickly removed.

As spotted by Wario64 on X, the Avowed story trailer blog page on the official Obsidian site revealed a release date of November 12, 2024. But like the Troxler effect, not long after eyes were cast upon the date, it disappeared from the blog post entirely.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYvTNAaXMUA
The date came as part of a short quote provided by the game director, Carrie Patel. Today, the quote reads:
"The last few months at Obsidian Entertainment have been fast-paced and exciting. Since we saw you at the Xbox Developer Direct this past January, we’ve been busy with Avowed getting it ready."
Using the cosmic powers of the Wayback Machine, I was able to confirm the release date on the pre-edited page. Originally, the quote continued to say, "for release on November 12, 2024." And then it was gone.

Avowed got a November release date for a short while, at least
There's no need to queue up that X-Files music; the reveal may have likely been for a target date, but something changed. I recall a year where every other month felt like it had a game delay announcement or two. It could have been altered, whether due to a delay or something else. We can't really know for sure.
For the most part, Obsidian is still targeting 2024 for Avowed. The exact month and day may still be up to the fates, but the year hasn't been changed yet. We may see the game around the fall regardless, nestled snuggly with others like Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred and Life is Strange: Double Exposure.

Unreal Engine 5.3 je k dispozici od konce loňského roku. Kromě lepších technologií a vylepšení nabízí také více možností pro optimalizaci. Naštěstí tento přechod nemá mít vliv na vydání. Avowed se nadále očekává na podzim tohoto roku pro PC a Xbox Series X/S. Hra bude v Game Passu.
Avowed je akční fantasy RPG z pohledu první osoby odehrávající se ve fiktivním světě Eora, se kterým se hráči poprvé setkali v sérii Pillars of Eternity. Podíváme se do Living Lands. Má jít o místo nám připadá cizí, a přesto máme do jisté míry nepřekonatelné nutkání vyrazit ostrovu na pomoc. Prozkoumáme ostrov, na kterém se skrývá mnoho různých prostředí a krajin, z nichž každá má svůj jedinečný ekosystém. Při boji budeme kombinovat meče. kouzla, zbraně a štíty proti monstrům, divokým zvířatům a jiným nepřátelům.

Po koupi Bethesdy a Activisionu Blizzard mají v Microsoftu příjemné starosti související s tím kdy uvedou na trh jednotlivé tituly. Přesný rozvrh se dozvíme za měsíc a několik dnů v rámci Xbox Games Showcase, která byla včera potvrzena společně se záhadným directem na neoznámenou hru.
Během prezentace uvidíme již dříve představené hry a s největší pravděpodobností se odkryjí další tituly. Mezi nimi se očekává nový díl série Gears of War (Gears 6) a další Call of Duty. To by mělo být pokračování Black Ops s podtitulem Gulf War zasazené do počátku 90. let během války v Perském zálivu.
Tom Warren z The Verge se od blízkých zdrojů dozvěděl, že po show bude mít svou prezentaci opravdu nové Call of Duty, zatímco na Xbox Games Showcase uvidíme nové Gears, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Avowed nebo Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Pravděpodobně se také dozvídáme datum uvedení prvního příběhového rozšíření Starfieldu. Dle Warrena se mají v Bethesdě se Shattered Space zaměřovat na září, zatímco Call of Duty dorazí v říjnu, Avowed a Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 pravděpodobně v listopadu a Indiana Jones v prosinci. Někdy mezitím by se měl najít prostor ještě pro strategii Ara: History Untold.
Na show má údajně Microsoft ukázat více her než v roce 2023 a měli bychom se seznámit s tím, co hodlá vydat v roce 2025, stejně tak co dorazí od jeho partnerů z celého světa. Takže si raději na 9. 6. nic neplánujte. Prezentace začne v 19:00 středoevropského času.
Společnost Microsoft má na rok 2024 připravenou celou řadu významných titulů, ale i když je řada z nich oficiálně potvrzena na letošní rok, u mnoha z nich nejsou uvedena konkrétní data vydání.
To se však změní na letní prezentaci společnosti v červnu, jak vyplývá ze zprávy zveřejněné serverem The Verge.

Data vydání budou údajně oznámena také pro další hru Call of Duty, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 a první rozšíření hry Starfield, Shattered Space.
Předchozí úniky informací tvrdily, že na prezentaci bude oznámena také hra Gears 6.
