Xbox will kick off the fourth installment of its Developer Direct event on January 22 at 1PM ET. As usual, we'll get a glimpse at what the upcoming year has in store along with news, new gameplay footage and more directly from the teams behind this year's slate of games.
In a blog post announcing the event, Xbox Wire Editor-in-Chief Jon Skrebels said Xbox's 25-year anniversary will be marked by the return of some beloved franchises. Gamers will also get their first extended look at Fable, a reboot of the iconic series. The event will also be unveiling gameplay footage for Forza Horizon 6, the upcoming open-world racing game set in Japan. UK studio Playground Games is behind both titles.
The showcase will also include new details and gameplay from Beast of Reincarnation, the "one-person, one-dog" role-playing game. The game is being developed by Game Freak, the studio best known for its series of Pokémon games, and follows protagonist Emma and her canine companion in post-apocalyptic Japan.
