So, we've got a date! Xbox and Bethesda will once again present a Games Showcase on Sunday, June 12th, and it "will include everything you need to know about the diverse lineup of games coming soon to the Xbox ecosystem."
We can pretty much guess that we're going to see the likes of Starfield and quite possibly Senua's Saga: Hellblade II and Forza Motorsport, but what are your wild predictions that you think might come true during the showcase?
For example, will a new Killer Instinct might finally be announced? Will Banjo-Threeie become a reality? Will Microsoft go crazy and acquire Nintendo?! Probably not, but it's an entertaining example of a "wild prediction" all the same.
We're intrigued to hear what wild predictions you've got for this year's Xbox Games Showcase — or failing that, just tell us what you'd absolutely love to see in this year's event if you could get your way, whether it's a realistic wish or not!
What are your wild predictions for the Xbox Games Showcase? Tell us down in the comments below.

How about a Banjo-Kazooie remake?
Condemned 3 or a reboot of the series
@Jango-Forest Probably be Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts 2 lmao
Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
What would I love to see?
Something that isnt going to happen... Some old Ultimate Play The Game reboots. We had Jetpac on the 360, more would be nice too. A new Underwurlde, Knight Lore etc, such rich franchises.
just avowed plz.
Third party VR headset support. I get why Ms doesn't want to risk "another kinect" but allowing third party "inside out" headsets would by pass the risk to MS.
PSVR2 is the only major "tug" I feel from PS5 ATM. My Quest 1 is defiantly at the end of its life on the quest store, and since I'm having to upgrade, that tug is getting stronger.
Just a fantastic show case from Xbox studios will do me.
I’d like to see them top Keanu Reeves.
State of decay 3 gameplay, starfield gameplay and the evil within 3 reveal
Just my guesses/hopes:
1) Open with Deathloop re-reveal+DLC to gamepass in September;
2) Gears teaser;
3) Redfield trailer;
4) Summer/Fall Gamepass announcements with one banger;
5) Close with seven minutes of Starfield.
There was talk about the next Wolfenstein being worked on so my crazy idea is that they show it and give is a release date for early 2023. Would say 2022 but everything seems to be taking a lot more time.
I'd love to see an ES 6 teaser and perhaps an old IP from Rare get a new entry. Maybe Conker's Bad Fur Day? I can dream...
Also, Avowed would be nice.
Unrealistic wish, as in never gonna happen. Project Gotham Racing makes a comeback starting with PGR2 Remastered.
Hellblade sequel shadow drop on game Pass after the show,
Sega/Atlus bringing the Persona franchise to Xbox. Make it happen, guys!
The whole showcase closes with the MWII in game trailer. (celebrating the Acti-Bliz deal and return of CoD-Xbox partnership)
Before that, IW will only have shown a reveal teaser in May.
Everyone’s already articulated my hopes, so I’ll just add that I want avowed. A lot. As much as they can possibly show.
Gears of War 6? Maybe?
I want to see most of the games everyone else had already said along with some new game announcements. How about a reveal trailer for Dragon Quest XV, new Pragmata trailer, a new Mistwalker JRPG and some gameplay of the new Sonic game!
As always, a new Banjo-Kazooie game
Halo Coop gets announced for 2024
I said it in the other thread Morrowind remaster please
Inxile on a fallout 1 remake and another crack at a new phantom dust or condemned. Also starfield all day.
Starfield gameplay
Gears 6 teaser
Avowed gameplay
New Banjo
Fable trailer
Redfall gameplay
If at least 3 of these come true i'll be happy..
A dual boot mode, so we can have a series x, on one hand and a mid tier pc, on the other.
I’m thinking a new Quake game would be the mic drop moment
@SacredPYRO A Morrowind remaster would be so awesome!
Silent Hill remake by Kojima.
Fable release window
Starfield gameplay
Avowed
those are my top 3
@Dusk_Actual Nothing will ever top that - please slap me in the face if that happens X)
@RevGaming insert Hawkeye meme here: "Don't do that. Don't give me hope."
Okay this is my Prediction
1. Opening: Deathloop DLC + GamePass Release Date
2. New Additions to GamePass some being shadow dropped. My prediction is that Judgment and Lost Judgement are Shadow drops for June.
3. 3rd Party Day 1 GamePass releases (Probably some new Unannounced games)
4. Xbox Game Studios: Halo Infinite Battle Royal Trailer
5. Xbox Game Studios: Teaser Trailer for Gears 6 + Marcus Fenix Collection + Release Date
6. Xbox Game Studios: Hellblade 2 GamePlay + Release Window of 2023
7. Xbox Game Studios: Redfall GamePlay + Release Date
8. Xbox Game Studios: Forza Motorsport GamePlay + Release Date
9. More 3rd Party Day 1 Release Dates for GamePass, this time for games we know like As Dusk Falls and Contraband
10. Xbox Game Studios: Teaser trailer for Pentiment which is the new game from Obsidian Studios
11. Xbox Game Studios: In Game Trailer for Avowed + Release Window for 2023
12. Close the show with Starfield GamePlay
@Chaudy Throw in the Halo BR and I think you’ve predicted not only the announcements, but probably the order of them as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see something about Indiana Jones too. Wouldn’t be shocked to see an Activision-Blizzard title get some time as a surprise either.
I’m hoping we get something about Fable and Elder Scrolls VI too. The ES stuff doesn’t have to be much, but I’m expecting the next game to be closer to completion than we realize, hopefully with a 2024 release planned. Just would be sad if we made it a full 15 years between Elder Scrolls games.
@somnambulance yes Halo BR will most definetly be shown, good call. I would also love to see Indiana Jones and ES.
I wanted Perfect Dark but I don’t think it’ll happen
My prediction:
Where the show starts with Redfall and ends with Starfield (basically reverse of last year).
@Shigurui
Sadly PGR ain't ever going to happen....
But, a purely city street racer (a spiritual successor to PGR) would be great.
Call it Forza Metro and it would sit nicely between the Motorsport and Horizon series 👍
I think a Marcus Fenix collection is on its way before Gears 6. Like others have said: Redfall, Starfield, and some Game Pass announcements from 3rd party developers.
Full Xbox and Xbox 360 emulation, then a surprise announcement of PS1, 2, & 3 disc-based legal emulation, because, why not?
The big game I want to see is the Forza MotorSport reboot. I’d also love to see Perfect Dark and Everwild if they’re ready to be shown. Maybe a surprise Gears 6 reveal as well. I’m not as big into Halo multiplayer but I’m sure we’ll see a lot of that.
If we’re talking more unrealistic hopes then give me any new Banjo-Kazooie. Whether that’s a true Banjo 3, reboot, remake of the original, or even Nuts & Bolts 2 (I’m very desperate lol). Another Conker would be awesome too.
I’d also love to see a new IP, preferably something more lighthearted instead of another shooter.
CGI trailer. CGI trailer. CGI trailer. CGI trailer. CGI trailer. CGI trailer. CGI trailer. CGI trailer. Starfield.
I’m really hoping they show gameplay from at least 5 games hitting within 12 months though.
Great move having it June 12! Only thing good at my birthdays lately is E3 is around it. This one is bang on.
Gears 6 releasing this November. A huge halo drop. Perfect dark footage. Everwild footage. Hellblade September starfield November. Probably Forza motor sports. Reveal on double fines next game. What to expect from the activision. I hope they do a developers conference again. I love hearing these developers talk about their work.
Wild prediction? I know this is with Bethesda.. but my wild prediction would be Guitar Hero is coming back. Or crazier, DJMax coming to Xbox for the first time.
I want more rhythm games in Xbox, I'm already enjoying Taiko in Xbox at this time.
Battletoads sequel!!
My wild prediction is that they reveal Everwild is a game that still exists.
Diablo IV, King Authur: Knight's Tale, Ubisoft added to the Game Pass and more strategy games.
Jet Force Gemini 2.
Realistically beside the obvious redfall and starfield. Think seeing avowed and hellblade 2 are pretty high odds with hopefully 2023 (1st half if we get lucky) release dates. Every other XGS game besides forza is up in the air. With the dev problems with everwild, state of decay 3 and perfect dark who knows. I know it may be to early but I do think it’s possible to see fable though I could see them hold off if avowed gets a big show since having two big open world fantasy rpgs would probably not be ideal. Contraband will likely be there. I think out of the four first party teams that have been the most quite ( zenimax online, roundhouse, inexile and compulsion) I think we see what three of the four are working on, I specifically want/ hope compulsion and inexile are there and they are working on new ip not related to anything else. For third party, plage tale requiem is a given. Also think we’ll see Jedi fallen order 2. Think it would be cool if some of the quiet studios that are working on big new ip ( creative assembly, 31st union, teams like that) would be really cool if they show up. I just want to see three main things. 1. GAMEPLAY is the most important thing and the biggest thing Xbox has been lacking. 2. Release dates and windows, specifically first half of 2023. 3. New ip, Xbox really needs new ip and the likes of redfall and starfield are good starts but they need more. Besides those two the only other new ip is everwild and we all know how that’s going. Even avowed is technically a pillars spin off. They have quite a few reboots in the works and sequels. Would love to see new ip.
Evil Within 3 trailer. Lily is actually possessed by Myra who was possessed by Ruvick's stem. Now Seb has to kill his daughter and his wife who are now trapped in the same body. Screw Joseph, I don't care about him anymore.
Not sure i'm gonna play it if it's really happening but yeah, Genshin Impact on Xbox (HI3 or Star Rail would be another story). Just wanna hear it for some reason. Also it's time to unveil that Kojima×Xbox game if it's exist in the first place.
What else? Maybe something like they revealing high budget AAA JRPG game in development exclusively for Xbox. I'm no longer excited if it's something like FFVIIR or Persona port though i'm still happy.
@Rural-Bandit
They will get triggered, but common. You can't really say a company will do something for sure. We have no control over them. They can expect it to be a ps exclusive, but can't get mad if it ends up being an xbox exclusive. Like Kotor.
@Jango-Forest Why remake? Let's go for a brand new entry. No more remakes, please!
My wish list mirrors some previous comments
-Marcus fenix collection first three gow games fully remastered
-halo infinite campaign dlc trailer
-gears 6
-fable release date and gameplay trailer
-avowed release date and gameplay trailer
-new killer instinct
-star field gameplay trailer
-Star Wars exclusive? (Ps5 has kotor remake so if Xbox could secure a Star Wars game that would be awesome)
-new bioshock
-everwild gameplay trailer
-hellblade gameplay trailer
-red fall gameplay trailer
-new ori game?
I REALLY WANT A NEW LORD OF THE RINGS GAME!! Maybe a battle for middle earth 3? Or a lord of the rings rpg.
Starfield will be the big game shown at the end with plenty of gameplay (better be!).
The next Forza Motorsport will be shown, coming this fall.
Fable will be shown, not a hug reveal (probably an 'in engine' trailer) and no release date.
Avowed will show a gameplay trailer, vague 2023 release date.
Tekken 8 will be shown. It has been a little while since 7 and I think Xbox will want it at their show to yet again try and push Japan games on their console.
A Plaques Tale 2 will be shown with a September release date.
Hellblade 2 will be shown with just a little bit of gameplay. Still no release date.
Perfect Dark and Everwild will be absent. That game from the just cause guys will be shown with a vague 2023 release date.
Redfall will be delayed to next year. Wolfenstein 3 will be revealed.
I like „A happy few“ very much. Any news from Compulsion Games would be cool … anything from Arcane too.
@antstephenson Oh I know it'll never happen, won't stop me trying to wish it into existence though!
1 vs 100 brought back please! I won Poker Smash last time.
I think we'll get a teaser for a new IP from The Coalition early in the show and then the "one last thing" at the end will be Gears 6 with release window in 2023
Other than that:
SoD3 gameplay
Senua dated
gameplay for Contraband
an IP revival but not from Rare's vault
We'll see the obvious things too but I expect another conference that emphasises the value of Gamepass
I'm thinking they'll start with something like Senua or State of Decay 3, possibly some Everwild footage, then lots of Gamepass additons. Highly doubt we'll see any Perfect Dark as that appears to be in development hell with the loss of so many staff and the Director. I'd be very surprised if we see anything on Fable as I suspect it's still too early in the development cycle. Hopefully we'll see Obsidian's new games in action, possibly some Halo Infiinte & Sea of Thieves additons. Then thrid party wise, maybe Dead Space, Diablo 4, Gotham Knights & Overwatch 2
(Re)-confirmed release dates for Redfall and Starfield in 2022.
Forza Motorsport 8 release date/window(rumours for 2022 but Im not convinced).
Also details on the FH5 DLC with the first pack stealth dropped.
Deathloop+DLC day one(+1year) on GPU
FF7 Remake on Game Pass
I'd say one other surprise for 2022 release, just not sure what!
Halo campaign pt2 announced
The rest will either be cinematics or gameplay for games in 2023 or indie games in '22(although at least 3 I'm aware of have Ukraine war related delays)
I think they'll announce they're selling Bethesda. Now they've got Activision that's a bigger fish, and the sale of Bethesda would be help fund it.
You win today. Massive missed opportunity not to bring this back, during covid lockdowns especially would have been wonderful
A new Fallout from Obsidian since we're not gonna see a new entry from Bethesda until around 2030 with Starfield and TES6 on the horizon. Unlikely to happen though since Obsidian is already working on 3 projects(at least).
If it is to go wild I wish they show a Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie remake and a sequel, Halo Infinite Campaign DLC and also Quantum Break 2, I would love that.
Now being more realistic, I would like some release dates for games previously announced as well as games releasing this year on Xbox as so far we only have Starfield and maybe Redfall.
i predict that they announce new first party game that was in the oven but wasn't ready yet to tease us, if microsoft want to do well this year they have to do one thing show us games,games,games even if alot not coming soon they have to show us what coming to gamepass big triple A game only for their subscribers because to me it's what the service lacking they have great games don't take me wrong they just don't have any high budget NEW triple A, to appeal to hardcore gamer that could still be reticent to subscribe to gamepass, i'm afraid to be let down this year even with big games like avowed or fable or even starfield, let's see last year my expectation was so low and they achieve to impress me, we'll see =) ✌️
Both very longshots (more like slim to no chance) but I'd love to see a new Splinter Cell or Ninja Gaiden 4.
I'm probably going to be in the minority here, but the one game I really, really want to see revealed is Gears 6. Absolutely desperate for that game, and, if Gears 6 follows the same timeline as Gears 5, revealing it this year would mean that it would release in 2023. Leaving the reveal until next year would likely mean we see Gears 5 until 2024, and as I'll be turning 60 next year, waiting until 2024 is definitely not something I want!
Also want to see Avowed, Fable and Starfield gameplay, and to hear the release dates for Hellblade 2 and Forza Motorsport.
Lastly, I'd love it if the Marcus Fenix Gears Collection turned out to be a real thing and to have it shadow-dropped. That would make my day...
@Fiendish-Beaver I would love Gears 6, I played gears 5 recently and it's easily one of my favourites games ever. I hope see Gears 6 in the showcase.
Looking forward to seeing what they have done with Fable.
It will definitely not have any of the quirkiness the original developers had (old bullfrog team mates), but its a nice setting and I have faith in the dev team, so it could be something special in its own right.
Starfield - I need to see a LOT more before I swallow any of Bethusda's BS, they are not a team who have bought themselves any faith in what they say in the last decade. Like everyone else though, I'd love this to a sprawling masterpiece like a modern skyrim in space! Cautious, but it could be the real deal
Unfortunately I wont buy a wheel for motorsport, and as series x has no giro the title is effectively dead to me. I'll play an arcade racer with a joystick, but proper racing requires complete control and proper steering, which is a shame as I'm sure it will be a great title. I guess I'm covered anyway, I have GT7 and absolutely love it.
I would like a decent 3rd person action adventure title, I dont think we have enough of them on Xbox. I hope we get a few surprises!
1.) for once.....for ONCE!...most announcements come with actual gameplay, not a CG trailer.
2.) every "new" game announced is coming within 2 years TOPS.
3.) Forza trailer, followed by the announcement that it's out by the end of summer.
4.) i know this isn't going to happen, but i'd absolutely CRY if their mic-drop moment was that they'd bought Sega. i LOVE Sega and i wish they had competent leadership and a single platform to focus on....
5.) after that announcement, a quick sizzle reel of the new Phantasy Star, Virtua Fighter, and Panzer Dragoon games they're working on. i would then faint.
Lost Odyssey 2
As much as I'd like to see some new games revealed, I really think Microsoft need to to start clearing off some of their current slate before they start adding to it. They've got so much in the works which we've seen or heard very little about over the last two years. Starfield's a given, of course, and will either open or close the show I'm guessing, but I reckon it's also time to finally lift the lid on games like Fable, Avowed, and possibly even Perfect Dark, to name but a few.
That said, I'd really like to see something of Gears 6, being a huge fan of the series, and as for wild predictions, maybe something to do with VR?
Oh, and another batch of FPS Boosted titles wouldn't go amiss. As I recall, the door was still potentially open on this one, if not more Back Compat games.
@Rural-Bandit It's all speculation from our side so we shouldn't get mad about it. It still exists.
