Presented by the game creators themselves from studios including Arkane Austin, Mojang Studios, Turn 10 Studios, and ZeniMax Online Studios, theDeveloper_Direct will focus on big features, extended gameplay showcases, and the latest info for Xbox games launching in the next few months, including The Elder Scrolls Online, Forza Motorsport, Minecraft Legends, and Redfall.
I donāt know if this was picked up but I wonder what they mean by ābig featuresā because they also say extended gameplay showcases. If they just said one or the other Iād just expect gameplay but they said both. Big features could be two things, it could literally be features like KB/M on cloud on console and PC or it could be a feature as in just showing something off like Redfall and the other games but that would for me fall into extended gameplay.
Idk Iām probably looking into it too much and weāll see sooner or later haha.
Probably something related to Hermaeus Mora.
ESO influencers got a teaser.

Maybe they end with a tease for Starfield show.
Or something elseā¦
Or both?
Whatever it will be, surprises are nice.

More could be 3rd party announcements maybe? Or could just be some Gamepass stuff.
As usual I doubt itās anything big, although I guess itās nice to dream!
Iām not expecting anything besides the four games they announced for the show. If thereās anything else like other game announcements or Game Pass announcements, that will be a bonus for me. If they were having a āregularā show, then they wouldnāt tell you what exactly is going to be there.
For the first Developer Direct, all im interested in is Redfall, a release date for it and to see the format and layout of the show so they can build on it with their second, third, etc. show later on.
They nail this and I canāt complain. Still far better than having to wait until June for any kind of Xbox show.

Iām also not expecting to see anything other than the 4 things theyāve said, though Iām obviously fine with anything unexpected. Personally this should be a big one for me as I love Forza, and Iām still interested in seeing more about Redfall as well. Minecraft Legends while idobt want to play against other people, Iām looking forward to seeing how they built it for single players and hoping that this one also is as unexpectedly good as but clearly different from Minecraft Dungeons. Not really into ESO like games, but Iām interested in 3/4 of what theyāve said will be shown so thatās better than most things any platform or studio put out. Also excited because Iām pretty sure Iāll be playing all 3 of these within a few months at most.

This show is going to be WILD.
Theyāve already shown off Minecraft Legends and Forza in depth, so I donāt think much time will be spent on these, maybe 5 minutes each.
ESO expansion is getting its own show straight after so they might spend 3 minutes tops on this.
That leaves half an hour of content.
Letās be generous and say redfall gets a whole 10 minutes dedicated to it, that still leaves another 20 minutes.
I predict a HUGE GamePass sizzle reel, with the biggest drop yet, gameplay trailers for Fable and Perfect Dark, some surprises such as Goldeneye shadow drop and gears collection reveal, and finishing off the show with a small Starfield trailer, and an announcement for the Starfield 1 hour showcase where Todd walks through the game much like he did for Skyrim many years ago.

I think the best thing to expect with this show is that this is Xbox clearing the table. We know of five huge games that we expect to drop soon. We will hear about the four theyāve announced - Redfall, Minecraft, Forza, ESO, and the Starfield afterwards.
And then the exciting shit happens. Once the table has been cleared we can start speculating like the Famiboards folks do when there IS a Direct announced.
Expect what theyāve announce and donāt be disappointed when they donāt.
Nope the said āand moreā if I recall and it only makes sense for a HUGE gmepass drop since weāve missed 3 GamePass announcements in a row.
One other thing to add to my prediction, the obvious release of wild rift in Xbox console with the GamePass perk for all characters (which still isnāt out for mobile wild rift, only says January release on the blog)
You really shouldnāt do this to yourself. Xbox set clear expectations when they announced this direct. Besides, āand moreā can indeed mean some new announcements for Game Pass games, it should after this weird ass first half, but Perfect Dark trailer? No. I donāt even think thatās going to be a E3 thing.
If Forza is still planned for this first half than it really needs to be shown a lot more. What they showed at E3 was brief, so it makes sense to dive deep into it now. Same for Minecraft and Redfall. Donāt set yourself up for a big disappointment with expectations you created yourself.
