Xbox Games Publishing seemingly and recently teased upcoming news on Fable, exciting many fans. Indeed, there’s a ton of Xbox exclusive titles that need more information, including the aforementioned game, Avowed, Starfield, State of Decay 3, and more. However, Xbox quickly walked back this teaser, confirming there would be no Fable news this week. That doesn’t mean there won’t be big news, however.
According to Tom Henderson, there is some big news coming this week. He doesn’t elaborate as to what, but for those who don’t know, Henderson has a proven track record as a leaker. He’s been right on various things in the past, with Call of Duty and Battlefield being his typical wheelhouse. While this should still be taken with a grain of salt, Henderson is more reliable than many other sources.
Specifically, Henderson says he has heard that there will be some “big announcements” this week but refrains from elaborating on what it is. He does go on to say, separately, that he also heard that Halo Infinite’s campaign reveal is coming soon, but he seemingly suggests the two are not related. In other words, while the Halo news would certainly be welcome, the other announcement remains a mystery.
One person in Henderson’s comments says he has heard similar things, but indicated that it’s not “earth-shattering” and has nothing to do with acquisitions. Still, the user suggested that it would be pretty cool, and this information is less reliable than Henderson’s (generally speaking). Either way, since E3 earlier this year, there hasn’t been a whole lot of new reveals, so it’ll be interesting to see what this is.
It could be an acquisition despite the comment to the contrary. Xbox has been rumored to be working on another big, Bethesda-level acquisition, though that hasn’t yet borne any fruit. At a glance, if it’s about a game, it would make more sense to be an announcement about an in-development game than it is a new game reveal. Any major game reveals, announcements, or trailers would likely be saved for an upcoming event, like December’s Game Awards. As such, it stands to reason that it a corporate, business, or Game Pass thing is more likely than a direct game-related announcement.
Of course, over all arbitrary predictions, it could be just about anything. Luckily, it won’t be a long wait to find out what this is or if it’s even true, as this week means this Xbox news could be inbound at just about anytime now.
