Xbox and Bethesda presented a Developer Direct this evening, giving fans the latest on some of their upcoming games.
Games like Redfall, The Elder Scrolls Online and Forza featured in the first Xbox and Bethesda showcase of 2023, as well as a host of other titles coming to Xbox Series X |S, Xbox Game Pass, PC and maybe even Xbox One.
There wasn't any news on Starfield, as Microsoft has already confirmed that the ARPG will be getting its own standalone deep dive, although exactly when this will be hasn't been confirmed yet. Having already been delayed from its initial November 2022 release date to the first half of 2023, the recent rumours suggest it could be delayed even further, and non-appearances like this do nothing to dispel those rumours.
The Xbox and Bethesda showcase will kicks off at 8pm GMT / 3pm ET / 12pm ET this evening, so why not check out the blog below for the latest updates?
