What to Expect: First-Party Powerhouses and Big Updates
This is Xbox’s show, so you can bet we’ll see plenty from their first-party studios. While only The Outer Worlds 2 is confirmed for a post-show spotlight, multiple reports and insiders suggest we may also see appearances from first-party titles like the gritty prequel Gears of War: E-Day, the stylish spy-thriller reboot of Perfect Dark, and Playground Games’ enchanting take on Fable. Call of Duty is also expected to make a showing, though Xbox has yet to confirm any of these titles officially.
Fingers crossed, we also get updates on games that have been quiet for a while. Fans are hoping for updates on long-quiet titles like State of Decay 3, Clockwork Revolution, and the elusive Everwild. However, there have been no confirmed sightings of these in the showcase lineup. As for The Elder Scrolls VI, while speculation is always fun, it’s highly unlikely we’ll see anything substantial this year. A gamer can dream.
The Leaks: Persona 4 Remake and A Plague Tale Spinoff
You can’t stop the leaks, can you? A couple of massive reveals for the Xbox Games Showcase 2025 have already surfaced online.
Perhaps the biggest leak so far is the rumored Persona 4 Remake. The speculation began with domain registrations and was recently fueled by insider reports suggesting a showcase reveal. Outlets like MP1st and Windows Central have backed the rumor, though voice actors such as Yuri Lowenthal have publicly denied involvement, so take this one with a grain of salt until it’s official. Get ready to head back to Inaba, because this classic 2008 RPG seems poised for a full-blown remake reveal today.
And in a classic “whoops” moment, it looks like there are unverified rumors of a new spinoff in the A Plague Tale series titled Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, but no official confirmation or credible leak source has surfaced. Until proven otherwise, consider this pure speculation. The developer made its way online yesterday, so expect to see an official trailer during the show.
Game Pass Goodness and Third-Party Surprises
Beyond the big exclusives and leaks, the showcase is always a treat for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Expect a barrage of announcements for new titles hitting the service, including plenty of day-one launches. Last year gave us incredible reveals like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, so we’re on the edge of our seats to see what third-party wildcards Xbox has up its sleeve this year.
