We're still a couple of months away from the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, but we might already have a few reveals locked in! There's a date as well - it's being suggested that this year's big event will fall on Sunday, June 9th.
This is according to a report from The Verge, which says it understands that a new Gears of War game is "currently" planned to be announced at the show - as was rumoured earlier this week. In addition, we'll apparently be getting release dates for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Avowed and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Another big reveal that's been mentioned by two outlets now - The Verge and Insider Gaming - is that a new Call of Duty (expected to be called "Black Ops Gulf War") will be present at the Xbox Showcase. However, the latter says this won't be the first time we'll see it, as it's expected to be revealed in a more "traditional fashion" prior to the event. Its appearance at the Xbox Games Showcase will likely take the form of a "deep dive" instead.
As for Activision Blizzard in general, Insider Gaming notes that Xbox is "gearing up for an announcement on its back catalog of games" in the near future, so perhaps we might get some exciting Game Pass reveals at the show too.
Obviously Xbox will have plenty more to highlight at the Xbox Games Showcase this June, but this sounds like a pretty great start so far! Let's hope for many more exciting surprises when the big event rolls around this summer...
