A prominent Xbox insider has teased that Xbox Game Studios have not one, but two “big” unannounced games due out this year. Unfortunately, this is where the details of these two mystery games end, at least details of the most striking variety. As for the report, it comes in the way of Window Central’s Jez Corden, who claimed on a recent episode of the Xbox Two podcast that Xbox Game Studios has “ at least ” two “ big games ” scheduled to release this year. not announced.
At the moment Xbox Game Studios has both Halo infinite and Psychonauts 2 will be released this year. The former is currently scheduled to release sometime in the holiday season, while the latter has an even wider “2021” release window. In addition, it has several games with “TBA” release dates, such as Age of Empires IV, As Dusk Falls, Everwild, Fable 4, Hellblade 2, Forza Motorsport 8, Perfect Dark, Project Mara, State of Decay 3, and various Bethesda games. Sure, some of these games may be breaking in this year, but these are announced games and so don’t fit the bill.
Again, Corden doesn’t even hint what these games could be, but it’s entirely possible there could be a new one Forza Horizon, which is rumored this year. Meanwhile could be the other game Wolfenstein III, which we know is in development but has not yet been announced, but should be nearly ready.
While these are guesswork, it’s unclear what else the two games could be, especially as Corden identifies them as ‘big games’. Of course, “big” is subjective, but there is no reason to believe that Corden is stretching the term. The thing is, big games are rarely announced and released in the same year. But not alone power do this all the time, but Bethesda is one of the few to take this approach occasionally, giving weight to the above speculation.
Now take everything with a grain of salt, as it ranges from unofficial to downright speculative. While Corden is usually quite reliable, everything here is very vague and of course subject to change.
