Yesterday Microsoft served up their latest Xbox Developer Direct, which offered reveals and information for a number of games, including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Avowed, and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, but it seems there was actually another game teased during the show – Quake 6.
Join us for the Xbox Developer Direct
18.01.2024 - 17:15 / eurogamer.net / Ninja Theory
We're going to get a look at some of Microsoft's big new Xbox games tonight, in a brand new Xbox Developer Direct. We've been promised a look at the new Indiana Jones game, Obsidian's new RPG Avowed, and Ninja Theory's Hellblade 2.
We'll be watching and covering it all live, from the moment it begins at 8pm UK time (GMT), to the moment it ends an hour later. And it'll be much more fun with your comments and reactions, so please join us in the comments below.
So, what exactly can we expect? Well, Indiana Jones developer MachineGames — the team behind the brilliant Wolfenstein games — will apparently show more than 10 minutes of the game, detailing how it's played, the story, the setting, and premiering a first trailer.
This will also be the first time we've properly delved into Obsidian's Avowed, the first-person RPG set in the Pillars of Eternity world. I'm fascinated to see what that world looks like from a different perspective — both literal and mechanical — and which familiar landmarks, and potentially characters, we might see.
Hellblade 2 developer Ninja Theory, meanwhile, will show some behind-the-scenes footage about how it is making the game, and I hope we also get a look at it in action. We're promised a better look at turn-based strategy game Ara: History Untold, too, which has strong Civilization roots.
There won't be any updates on Activision Blizzard games, by the way, after Microsoft's monstrous acquisition. Apparently news on those will come later in 2024. And that's it. Any surprises? We'll have to wait and see.

Coverage Comments 15:41 pm UTCWhat are you hoping to see, then? I'm really hoping Indiana Jones lives up to MachineGames' reputation. It could be brilliant. And as you probably know, I'm a sucker for Obsidian and Pillars of Eternity, although I'm curious about how a first-person RPG in that world will work. I can't think of another first-person RPG Obsidian has done.

A Quake 6 Tease Was Seemingly Hidden in the Xbox Developer Direct and Now Fans Are Losing It
The Xbox Developer Direct 2024 was a cornucopia of reveals, footage, and information about what's coming to Xbox this year. We got a formal reveal of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a release date for Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga, more information about Obsidian's Avowed, a surprise appearance from Square Enix with an update on Visions of Mana, and an in-depth look at Ara: History Untold. But fans also spotted something else on MachineGames' whiteboard: the words Quake 6, right next to the iconic Quake logo. Naturally, they're freaking out.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Gets First Look at Xbox Developer Direct
You might not realize it, but the character of Indiana Jones has quite a history in the video game space. When his movies were some of the toasts of Hollywood, Lucasfilm made various games about the character that took him all over the world and looked for all sorts of artifacts. But it’s been some time since that experience was felt in the gaming space, and the last two movies starring him haven’t helped matters. However, over at Bethesda, Todd Howard had a vision, which has been revealed as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, headed up by Machine Games.
