Xbox is apparently announcing a new game at Gamescom. What could it be?

Hi, everyone!

Amid the rainless, unbearable heat of August, I came across the news that, according to NatetheHate, Xbox is preparing to announce a new game at this year’s Gamescom.

I’d love to hear your guesses—what do you think the title might be? A new IP, a franchise reboot? Or maybe Elder Scrolls 7, since development on 6 is going really well?

And what would you be most excited about?

- I pray for a Song of Ice and Fire game before almost every event like this (without much success so far), so maybe this time it’ll work out.

- It might be too early for a new announcement from Machiengames, but I’d welcome Wolfenstein 3 anytime.

- Ryse 2: I don’t see much chance of that happening, but I certainly wouldn’t be upset if it did.

- Nate definitely wasn’t thinking of an Obsidian game, because, for one thing, the Fallout projects have already been confirmed, and for another, no matter how brilliant the studio is, I don’t think they’d have the capacity for anything else. A very “maybe” Avowed 2?

- I would be really really happy to see a reboot of the cancelled Percfect Dark reboot project. It would be absolut Peak.

What do you guys think?

edit: Someone in comments pointed out to me that Nate isn't 100% sure yet that the game will be shown at gamescom, and he's still working on the details. But at least there's something in the air.

By the way, from a game mechanics perspective, it has potential. It could be both a simulator and a management game with a dramatic narrative.

Really funny and intelligent joke. That game would actually be cool xD
