Xbox is teasing ‘important announcements’ for December’s Game Awards

 

Microsoft is teasing plans for some major Xbox announcements at December’s The Game Awards.

In promotional materials distributed this week, the company said “important announcements” are planned for the event, along with other exciting Xbox news.

It wrote: “Celebrate the best games of the year and the big winners live at The Game Awards on 7. December at 19:30 ET / 4:30PM PT / 12:30A+1 GMT along with important announcements and other Xbox news that you don’t want to miss!”

 Microsoft previously used 2019’s The Game Awards to unveil the Xbox Series X console and Ninja Theory’s Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.

Legal documents published inadvertently in September potentially laid bare key elements of the company’s gaming strategy for years to come, including plans to launch a redesigned Xbox Series X console, codenamed ‘Brooklin’, in 2024.

The Game Awards 2023 will be streamed live from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles next week.

Last year’s ninth edition of the annual event was a major production featuring musical performances from an on-stage orchestra and Hozier, celebrity guests, an awards show, new game reveals and more.

Major announcements included the long-anticipated reveals of Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2 and BioShock creator Ken Levine’s new game Judas.

Other new games announced on the night were Hades 2, a Bayonetta prequel, and Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon.
