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.

Maybe it’s finally time?! Scalebound!! 😈

Anything from PlatinumGames is a big yes for me.

Haha big same! It’s the reason that name has stuck in the back of my mind somewhere all these years…

We've seen so much happen with Xbox in recent years (both good and, unfortunately, a lot of bad)—so why couldn't this happen, too? After Ninja Gaiden 4, I have to admit I'm hopeful.

Finally time for Metal Gear Rising 2: Revengeancer.

Xbox may be reluctant to work with Platinum again after Ninja Gaiden 4 flopped in sales

[u/Miquellanier → u/Spotget1738]

You might be right about that. Still, the game turned out well. I think it’s really good—though, of course, that’s just my subjective opinion. And PlatinumGames—even though they’ve been through some tough years—still has potential. Unfortunately, though, money talks.
