There’s no shortage of upcoming video games to get excited for when it comes to the Xbox platform. We know that there is a push to see this platform receive more first-party video game titles. While the studios are still pushing through some incredible game projects, most of us might be eyeing the launch of next month’s Starfield. Bethesda is gearing up for their next big RPG to finally be in the hands of players worldwide. But there’s even more to look forward to playing after this game launches into the marketplace.

Microsoft has partnered Sam Altman led OpenAI, a company that was famously funded by billionaire Elon Musk, to make rapid strides in the field of artificial intelligence. The company has taken up the cudgels against other tech majors including the likes of Google and Meta Platforms. This puts the company's president, Brad Smith, in the perfect position to speak on the issue that has divided the globe down the middle about its massive potential for good as well as an equal potential to do harm to humanity.

The Indiana Jones video game is something we know is in development. With the IP getting a new resurgence thanks to the most recent film release, what better time than now to get a video game out there, too? Unfortunately, we haven’t heard much about this title since the game was first revealed. Instead, the game is being developed under MachineGames alongside Bethesda. But besides that, the development team has kept things a bit hush. That might change soon as we know the game development is currently midway through being completed.

We’ve been waiting patiently for Elder Scrolls 6 for what feels like a lifetime, considering the game’s initial reveal dropped a distant five years ago. With theStarfield release date almost upon us, you might be wondering what’s next for game director Todd Howard.

Bethesda hasn't said much about the new Indiana Jones game in the works at Wolfenstein developer MachineGames since its announcement a few years ago, but studio boss Todd Howard maintains that work on the game is going great.

Many iconic characters in cinema have had equally iconic entrances. Movie fans are sharing their favorite introductions, with Indy in Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark taking the number one spot for many.

Gamescom has really hit the ground running this year. It’s only been one day since the event kicked-off, and already there’s all manner of exciting new info and video for both major games like Tekken 8 and more minor projects such as RoboCop: Rogue City. Fans have also seen a few surprise announcements, one of which being Tormented Souls 2. As good as its predecessor is, it’s probably safe to say that nobody saw this coming.

Over the last year, Xbox has been under one massive spotlight: a giant acquisition and court case, speculation about its upcoming AAA portfolio, Starfield on the horizon, questions around third-party game parity across both its consoles, Game Pass, and so much more. Naturally, we have tons of questions about all of this, and at gamescom 2023, we were finally able to get some answers from Xbox head Phil Spencer about almost everything.

It’s pretty surprising that it’s been over a decade since the iconic comic series, The Adventures of Tintin, has appeared in games – the goofy characters, larger-than-life adventures, and adorable sidekick dog seem like they’d make for the ultimate all-ages adventure game. But this is a missed opportunity that developer Pendulo Studios plans on correcting with its upcoming video game adaptation of the classic story: Cigars of the Pharaoh, and from the hour I played so far, it’s incredibly impressive just how faithful and enjoyable that adaptation is shaping up to be. Whether it’s the cartoonish and colorful environments, creative puzzles, or memorable minigames, this is definitely one for adventure game fans to keep a close eye on.
