A credible gaming insider suggests Xbox may announce a Developer Direct presentation tomorrow, January 10th. These showcases typically offer in-depth previews of upcoming Xbox first-party games. Given Xbox's strong 2025 game lineup, a Developer Direct announcement seems plausible.

The inaugural Xbox Developer Direct, held in January 2023, notably included the surprise release of Hi-Fi Rush. The format uniquely features developers from various studios directly presenting their games, providing detailed insights into development, mechanics, and core concepts. A similar event occurred in January 2024, highlighting titles such as Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 and Avowed.

A recent tweet from a well-known Game Pass leaker, eXtas1s, hints at tomorrow's announcement, potentially for a Developer Direct on Thursday, January 23rd. This aligns with a recent statement from Microsoft insider Jez Corden, who predicted an imminent announcement.

Potential Games for the January 2025 Developer Direct:

The 2025 lineup could make this the largest Developer Direct yet. Several highly anticipated titles are likely candidates:

• Avowed
• Doom: The Dark Ages
• Fable
• South of Midnight
• The Outer Worlds 2
• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake (rumored)

Following a quiet period since Summer 2024, id Software may unveil new details on Doom: The Dark Ages. The Outer Worlds 2 could receive a release date and in-depth gameplay reveal. Avowed, slated for February 14th, 2025, might get a final trailer. South of Midnight and Fable, both long-awaited, could also receive release date confirmations and extended gameplay showcases. The rumored Oblivion remake adds further intrigue to the potential announcements.

Xbox concluded 2024 strongly with releases like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and STALKER 2. 2025 promises even more, making this Developer Direct a highly anticipated event.
