Holy Grail of Gamers: What We Know So Far About New CONSOLES Releases

The Xbox Games Showcase, our latest look forward to what will mark the next wave of console and gamer experiences, has again given us a glimpse of what we can expect from the thrilling narratives and beautiful worlds that the future of video gaming holds. This article looks at what lies ahead for gaming giants such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda and more – as well as their partners – in terms of their future offerings. Let’s take a look at the next wave of console video gaming.

The Dawn of Call of Duty Black Ops 6

The show started off with one of its highly anticipated previews – the reveal of Call of Duty Black Ops 6. Set in the Gulf War era, the latest incarnation breathes life back into the once popular franchise in the guise of new battle maps and, of course, zombies. And the game is set to be unleashed on 25 October – with the dates booked out in diaries across the world, and calendars cleared for the occasion. Executives also spoke of the making of the game and its storyline.

DOOM: The Dark Ages – A Prequel with Promise

Scheduled for release in 2025 and intended to precede 2016’s DOOM and 2020’s DOOM Eternal, DOOM: The Dark Ages is the third in the series that constitutes the modern take on DOOM. That it’s a prequel affords it a narrative that, presumably, will help demystify the development of the DOOM Slayer and so provide narrative structure to what we’ve come to expect: lots of breaking, splintering bones and the primeval slaughter of demons. In other words, this is a deep dive into the lore that has fed a cult that has become global.

Navigating the Stars in Starfield: Shattered Space

Bethesda’s space-faring RPG Starfield didn’t quite hit the ground running the way they might have hoped. But the presence of Shattered Space might just provide the adrenaline shot its storyline needs. Due out this year, the expansion will be a cosmic ride that promises redemption, and excitement, too.

Reviving Classics: METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER

Fallout 76: Explorations and Expansions

In the wake of a great deal of hype around the Amazon Prime Fallout limited series, and in anticipation of the release of the new region of the game – Skyline Valley in the Fallout 76 expansion – not to mention the chance to play as a ghoul starting early next year, look for the Fallout Universe to continue to expand, with all that this implies for more worlds and stories.

Diablo IV:Vessel of Hatred & Assassin's Creed Shadows

Blizzard announced trailer and gameplay footage for Diablo IV and Ubisoft did the same for its upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows. On 8 October 2023, Diablo IV and on 15 November 2023 Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft’s most popular franchise, will both once again remind the world of the franchises’ staying power and evolving nature, continues to draw in hundreds of millions of players around the world.

A Glimpse into the Future with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

The choice of setting proves to be especially resonant in an age of heightened political tension, putting players in the (radioactive) boots of operatives dropped into the exclusion zone in the middle of war-torn Ukraine, on the eve of the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 on 5 September. In a sense, the game promises to meld immersive gameplay with historical storytelling, in a way that is unprecedented in gaming.
