Last year’s Xbox E3 press conference was a doozy. 2019’s has a lot to live up to.
Josh Miller/CNETMicrosoft’s next Xbox is on the horizon, and he company is starting to talk about it.
The video game giant is expected to discuss its next generation Xbox, reportedly called Project Scarlett, at its Xbox press conference. Among the new games the company is expected to showcase is Halo Infinite, the latest installment in the company’s multibillion dollar space war epic that helped launch the original Xbox two decades ago. We also expect to hear more news on Gears 5, the latest in its other well-regarded (but very different) Gears of War space epic series Game Pass for the PC and Project xCloud, what many believe will be Microsoft’s streaming alternative to Google Stadia.
“We have thousands of games in development across Xbox One and Windows PC,” said Microsoft’s Xbox head Phil Spencer on stage during the company’s press conference ahead of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, also known as E3, in Los Angeles. He said more than 60 games would be shown on stage, including 14 from the company’s Xbox Game Studios and over 30 games premiering on the company’s Xbox Game Pass service.
“My team and I are single minded in our resolve to bring everyone the games they wan to play,” he added.
But perhaps the most anticipated news will be about Microsoft’s next upcoming Xbox — codenamed Scarlett according to a report from 2018 — of which the company’s offered few details so far, but it could have dropped a cryptic Scarlett architecture hint yesterday.
This one image of Halo’s hero, Master Chief, was enough to send fans screaming when the new game was announced last summer.
MicrosoftThe company’s also expected to discuss its upcoming Project xCloud service, which will allow people to stream games over the internet in a similar way they watch Netflix videos today. That will be going up against Google’s Stadia, a competing service announced in March, designed to work alongside the company’s massively popular YouTube video site.
