Xbox has announced a brand new Developer Direct presentation that's set to air next week, and it's got some exciting news for Indiana Jones fans.
The showcase, which is airing on January 18th at 3pm Eastern (that's 12pm Pacific), will focus on a "selection of highly anticipated games" making their way to Xbox and PC soon, including MachineGames' Indiana Jones title, which will get its first gameplay reveal.
Todd Howard hinted back in September that an Indiana Jones reveal would be coming sometime this year, and it looks like he was telling the truth.
More than 10 minutes of the show will be devoted to the Indiana Jones game (which technically remains untitled at time of writing), and we'll learn about its setting, narrative, and gameplay mechanics.
Per Xbox's official announcement, we'll also be getting a look at how development on Obsidian's RPG Avowed is coming along, including a look at how Obsidian's worldbuilding expertise and experience with "dynamic gameplay and thoughtful reactivity" feed into the game.
Oxide Games, a studio founded by Civilization veterans, will also get a spot in the Developer Direct, and we'll be hearing more about its grand strategy game Ara: History Untold.
Lastly, the showcase will feature a look at Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, showing off Ninja Theory's "ambition and meticulous care" during the development process. Given the game's stunning facial capture system, I can't say I'm surprised.
Lastly, once the show is over, the next major Chapter of The Elder Scrolls Online will be revealed, so if you're a fan, make sure you stick around.
Next week's Xbox Developer Direct showcase airs on January 18th (that's next Thursday) at 3pm Eastern/12pm Pacific/8pm GMT. Stay tuned for all the big reveals and news from that showcase, as well as more info on all other things Xbox-related.
