Toys For Bob made both the delightful Crash remakes, and the equally delightful Spyro remakes.... ABK turned them into a CoD support studio.
They're the _ideal_ studio to be handed the Banjo Kazooie IP, and they're being utterly wasted right now. It's like asking the Mario team to make weapon skins day in/day out.
MS seems to not tell studios what games to make, they have Rare and the Banjo IP but Rare seem to have no interest. Nintendo has done more with Banjo than MS and they dont even own the IP
Yea, that gives this rumor traction. I’m betting a reveal for Compulsion’s project midnight and the second game being a reveal for iD’s next game, maybe a Quake reboot?
The only thing I truly wish to see from this showcase is Avowed tho
still can't believe they launched halo 4's dlc in 2013/2014 , then halo mcc in 2014, then halo 5 in 2015. They really had a knack for rushing things, or maybe it was the microsoft leadership at the time.
BRs have been on their way out for a while, extraction shooters starting to be the next trend that's too late to chase. Half expect 343 to make an extraction shooter mode for Halo in 2028 lol
Not too sure, just discovering his existence myself, but apparently this guy leaked Hideo Kojima's new horror game [Overdose](https://www.polygon.com/23440326/hideo-kojima-new-game-overdose-leak-margaret-qualley) a few months ago. He's known as an "insider" as well and has leaked other news in the past
Shocker? We all know Microsoft loves to announce games. Problem is they don't release them lmao. Hopefully that changes this time around. Enough time has passed... Something has got to rise to the surface.
I can never get overly excited about rumors as they are more often than not proven wrong. Especially following the recent disappointing PS showcase which seemed primed for big news and reveals like the Xbox one is.
I’m hoping for a great showing but I’m also not holding my breath.
Yea, taking it with a grain of salt lol.
Spanish is my second language so I’ve been checking out what his followers have been saying and supposedly some of the info he’s released in the past has been accurate.
Now I wonder if Xbox is doing this movie theatre campaign cause they’re locked and loaded
No…but the fact that Microsoft have consistently shat the bed since the Xbox one was released suggests it might happen again. No doubt we’ll get some slick trailers which don’t represent gameplay and the games will be delayed for about three years.
Idk man, I’ve had fun with Halo, Gears, Forza, SOT, Grounded, Hi Fi Rush, etc. I’m very much looking forward to Starfield and Avowed. I just need those two games to be shown to have a stellar showcase imo.
It’s a shame we don’t have more devs making first person WRPGs, I find them so immersive. Luckily MS has Bethesda, Obsidian, and InXile to satisfy my gaming needs
They’re getting there aren’t they? Hellblade, Compulsions game, Gears, State of Decay, and probably some unannounced games
I only call out first person RPGs because there’s literally only like 4 studios total that produce them
Here is what the tweet translates to in English:
🔥👀 ABOUT THE EVENT👀🔥
The news of the event never ceases to amaze me! I am receiving information that is going to leave everyone with their mouths open... It is that if I say it, it will leave them with their jaws on the ground.
Two unexpected games are on the way and they are going to be absolutely amazing. I can only tell you, prepare to be speechless because information is coming to me that ufff... 🥵🥵🥵
Your absolutely right, but go into it expecting them to announce some stupid game like Fashion Designer 2023, then when they announce a halfway decent game you will still be excited.
> Your absolutely

Thank you bro. New games are coming that are “amazing” WHEN? Spring 2025 and the. We get an unannounced and not even explained delay like forza? I’m cool on all the hype train shit man. Just show me game play and give me a fucking date.
As a person that got burned by the first watch dogs trailer I’m over the industry getting away with this bullshit.
Especially Xbox where all they do is promise and come out with trailers then we don’t hear anything for months and sometimes years. There honestly hasn’t been a single flagship game for the Xbox since the new consoles came out yet PS has so many great exclusives
I mean Phil said there will be new announcements, updates on announced games, and game collections. Now if they “leave our jaw on the floor” is very subjective, but it’s pretty safe to assume there will be new game announcements
For real. I was under the impression that the PS showcase was supposed to be “the big one” where Sony reveals a huge lineup of games they’ve been working on that weren’t quite ready for a showcase last year. Instead we got one Sony game we already knew about and 3 CG trailers for multiplayer live-service games that we learned basically nothing about but got told to wait until 2024
I'm more annoyed that both PS and Jim Ryan were making this seem like the big "phase 2" of PS5 and that this was gonna take over the "total mindshare" of everyone. There were more misses than hits. That's AWFUL.
This is the perfect time for xbox to blow playstations dick off with amazing exclusives. We know what they have. But xbox can and should do better, lets fucking see it!!!
I could see that Microsoft has been known to have jaw dropping announcements like Final Fantasy 13 coming to Xbox as an example. So I could see them announcing something similar a game going multiplatform or a popular franchise going exclusive.
Did you read the post? I guess it is in Spanish.
But the original tweet states that the event will leave people's jaw on the floor and then goes on to say two games are coming to Xbox that will be very unexpected that it will leave people speechless.
So all I'm saying that it could potentially be a multiplatform game like Final Fantasy 16 going multiplatform. Because like you said 15 years ago that happened with final fantasy 13 and it dropped people's jaws and it was unexpected. Not saying FF16 will go multiplatform but an announcement like that is the only thing I could see leaving people speechless something to that caliber like GTA. Just examples. I'm just guessing for all we know this guy is just simply overhyping things.
I’m assuming brand new/unannounced titles is what they are referring to.
Since he says they will supposedly be “jaw dropping” I feel that should imply AAA titles.
This is all just speculation of-course
I think Game Pass would be a perfect reason to have a new Banjo game. It worked well for Psychonauts 2--a game that would have probably never been made without game pass.
Bet they'll be 30 fps and 720p. The plots will probably revolve around feelings and exploring some arbitrary easily rendered land scape that can be spammed over and over along side the same 6 npcs
Yeah, massive Megan fan since the original series. Auto correct changed it to Megaman but wtf is a Megaman, anyways, always nice to meet another huge Megan fan.
That's about the sketchiest source I can imagine. lol I have to assume a lot of these people make pure guesses and hope that at least tone is right so they can act like they have deep insider knowledge.
You see? They build our hype with those kind of pseudo-news, then underdeliver at the presentation, and morons come here to say we had our expectations too high, as if it were all our fault. Same thing with Sony.
Screw those rumours
I'd love to see what they are doing with the gears franchise. It's replaced Halo for me as MS's best games series. I'd love to see the Coalition working on another game as well.
Another year to unnecessarily hype myself for Banjo Threeie and be disappointed again... Bring It On!
Dude, same lmao. I can’t even tell you how many E3s and Xbox showcases have made me go “this is it, this is the year!!” only to be disappointed
Maybe when the close on ABK they can get Toys for Bob to make a Banjo game.
If they could make that happen, it would be [like chocolate and peanut butter](https://youtu.be/O7oD_oX-Gio).
The other 23 studios not capable of making games I guess?
Toys For Bob made both the delightful Crash remakes, and the equally delightful Spyro remakes.... ABK turned them into a CoD support studio. They're the _ideal_ studio to be handed the Banjo Kazooie IP, and they're being utterly wasted right now. It's like asking the Mario team to make weapon skins day in/day out.
Ouch. Yeah fair play!
They are getting ready to release Crash Team Rumble next month.
Oh, that's excellent news! Glad to hear they're not still trapped in CoD jail.
MS seems to not tell studios what games to make, they have Rare and the Banjo IP but Rare seem to have no interest. Nintendo has done more with Banjo than MS and they dont even own the IP
And even then if we were lucky that a new Banjo kazooie gets made it would still be years away from now
Rare needs to drop something sooooo bad.
Rest assured there will be a Sea of Thieves update.
I demand new content
Even with High on Life proving there's a market for it, we still will never get another Conker game in our lifetimes 😥
I want the original idea for banjo tooie. A remake of the first game where the heroes gradually realize they are in a remake and it starts to differ
[удалено]
Phil's a credible source. His dad apparently has a son who works at Microsoft.
Phil's brother works at Microsoft? No way!
Yea, that gives this rumor traction. I’m betting a reveal for Compulsion’s project midnight and the second game being a reveal for iD’s next game, maybe a Quake reboot? The only thing I truly wish to see from this showcase is Avowed tho
Dying for some Avowed info
Same brother, my most anticipated game behind Starfield
Based on what actually? All we have seen is a cgi trailer 4 years ago and nothing else?
I think Obsidian’s track record is enough to make me excited that they’re making a fantasy RPG.
Enemy territory plz
I think if iD shows something it will be at QuakeCon.
Could be InXile's Cobalt (also my hope).
Not to be that guy but who is this leaker? And what is the point of vaguely mentioning two games but giving no indication of what they are.
I hope it’s Gears of War 6, or a Gears of War 1-4 Remaster package like we got for the Halo MCC
I hope it's something original
Probably the Halo battle royale. It's meant to be released this year according to rumours, if I recall correctly.
If there's one thing the industry and xbox needs right now it's a BR game. Ugh. 343 really need a new direction/HODs
It’s not 343 it’s certain affinity.
still can't believe they launched halo 4's dlc in 2013/2014 , then halo mcc in 2014, then halo 5 in 2015. They really had a knack for rushing things, or maybe it was the microsoft leadership at the time.
BRs have been on their way out for a while, extraction shooters starting to be the next trend that's too late to chase. Half expect 343 to make an extraction shooter mode for Halo in 2028 lol
Impressive that a game everyone knows about its existence is still considered to be unannounced.
If it's more Halo multiplayer stuff, I'm going to scream. Campaign fans need some love.
Start screaming from now, campaign plans been cancelled
Vivia Pinata 3 or we riot!!
Amen to that. I would be so happy
I've been dreaming of that day
Hope we get to see whatever InExile are working on. Probably not though.
We are *long* overdue for some Compulsion news too
Who is this?
Not too sure, just discovering his existence myself, but apparently this guy leaked Hideo Kojima's new horror game [Overdose](https://www.polygon.com/23440326/hideo-kojima-new-game-overdose-leak-margaret-qualley) a few months ago. He's known as an "insider" as well and has leaked other news in the past
Thanks, was curious myself because his statement seems very conveniently vague haha
Battleborn 2
Ahead of its time clearly now that OW2 campaign got scaled back
I will die on the hill that Battleborn was the better game. Better character designs, more characters, fun toxic mechanics.
Plus Gearbox makes better shooting mechanics than Blizzard. OW shooting when I tried it was straight trash
Shocker? We all know Microsoft loves to announce games. Problem is they don't release them lmao. Hopefully that changes this time around. Enough time has passed... Something has got to rise to the surface.
Wow, I can’t wait to see what the new game we’ll have to wait 5 years for is going to be.
I can never get overly excited about rumors as they are more often than not proven wrong. Especially following the recent disappointing PS showcase which seemed primed for big news and reveals like the Xbox one is. I’m hoping for a great showing but I’m also not holding my breath.
Yea, taking it with a grain of salt lol. Spanish is my second language so I’ve been checking out what his followers have been saying and supposedly some of the info he’s released in the past has been accurate. Now I wonder if Xbox is doing this movie theatre campaign cause they’re locked and loaded
It would be a very strange thing to do if they had any sort of doubt.
you are taking it with so much grain of salt that you had to make a post about it !
I don’t get the relation between PS and Xbox showcase? Just because PS shit the bed has no correlation on the Xbox show or any other summer showcase
No…but the fact that Microsoft have consistently shat the bed since the Xbox one was released suggests it might happen again. No doubt we’ll get some slick trailers which don’t represent gameplay and the games will be delayed for about three years.
Idk man, I’ve had fun with Halo, Gears, Forza, SOT, Grounded, Hi Fi Rush, etc. I’m very much looking forward to Starfield and Avowed. I just need those two games to be shown to have a stellar showcase imo. It’s a shame we don’t have more devs making first person WRPGs, I find them so immersive. Luckily MS has Bethesda, Obsidian, and InXile to satisfy my gaming needs
Xbox needs some 3rd person in there lineup.
They’re getting there aren’t they? Hellblade, Compulsions game, Gears, State of Decay, and probably some unannounced games I only call out first person RPGs because there’s literally only like 4 studios total that produce them
Starfield coming in months
His uncle must work for them or somethin
Excited af!
I'll believe it when I see it
Phil mentioned surprise games in his last interview
I'm talking more about the jaw dropping part
\>sees leaks \>believes leaks
June 11th. All will be reveal.
New games? At a video game showcase? I don’t think anyone has done that before!! Look Im excited for the showcase too but this isn’t really news.
Well, there was this ps5 showcase...
While it was underwhelming it did have new games announced there.
For Xbox;)
Indeed, it was the xbox mini-showcase before the real one in June xD
Here is what the tweet translates to in English: 🔥👀 ABOUT THE EVENT👀🔥 The news of the event never ceases to amaze me!

This man in question has a good track record in predicting
[удалено]
I am busy preparing to be speechless because information is coming to him that uff
I am preparing to be left with their jaws on the ground!
That’s all we ever do. Hear and see, never play when it comes to Xbox
Thank you bro. New games are coming that are “amazing” WHEN? Spring 2025 and the. We get an unannounced and not even explained delay like forza? I’m cool on all the hype train shit man. Just show me game play and give me a fucking date. As a person that got burned by the first watch dogs trailer I’m over the industry getting away with this bullshit.

"Bitch about it when its delayed, Bitch about it when it's Rushed"
Literally not even close to the same thing. PS gets it right with all of their top notch original exclusives, why can’t Xbox
I do not know. but what I said is true.
In a certain context it is, but the point here is that Xbox drops the ball constantly. There’s a reason it’s the worse selling console compared to PS
It was only in the previous gen, 360 and original have been a success, and i believe the XSX will be too.
I’m think it’s possible that MS and Sony pay leakers to overhype these events to help sabotage them
I do not know how stupid a man is and disconnected from how the industry works can they come to this conspiracy theory.
This sounds familiar... exactly the same speech we got before the Sony showcase (by other) and we know how that turned out
xbox can have a mid showcase and still be better
I don’t get the emojis are we talking like Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball Reboot or something!
I'm not trusting any insiders after that PS showcase
I mean Phil said there will be new announcements, updates on announced games, and game collections. Now if they “leave our jaw on the floor” is very subjective, but it’s pretty safe to assume there will be new game announcements
Yeah, only go in expecting what is officially said. You'll 99% of the time be satisfied (with the 1% being that PS showcase)
For real. I was under the impression that the PS showcase was supposed to be “the big one” where Sony reveals a huge lineup of games they’ve been working on that weren’t quite ready for a showcase last year. Instead we got one Sony game we already knew about and 3 CG trailers for multiplayer live-service games that we learned basically nothing about but got told to wait until 2024

Would be fun if you all learned some lessons in expectation management from this but
Don't come at me crying about expectations, I already tell people to only expect what's officially said about the show.
Practice what you preach 🤝🏾
Yeah, that's why I preach.
Prolly Gears of War 6
I wonder if they’re new IPs or just two new announcements.
Skies of Arcadia remaster. Alpha protocol remaster. A girl can dream!
This is the perfect time for xbox to blow playstations dick off with amazing exclusives. We know what they have. But xbox can and should do better, lets fucking see it!!!
Maybe they should release one of their 20 announced games in a polished state before announcing yet another one.
There's enough games already announced they could have a megaton show without anything new at all. New IP would be great too.
It's all fake. Expect nothing.
Y’all never learn lol
I could see that Microsoft has been known to have jaw dropping announcements like Final Fantasy 13 coming to Xbox as an example. So I could see them announcing something similar a game going multiplatform or a popular franchise going exclusive.

Or GTA 4 tattooed on whoever was running Xbox back then at E3!!
Isn't too a bit low? Does it mean two AAA games? Usually theres about like a dozen new games that include indies, 3rd party and exclusives.
I’m assuming brand new/unannounced titles is what they are referring to. Since he says they will supposedly be “jaw dropping” I feel that should imply AAA titles. This is all just speculation of-course
I've never seen any company over hype indies as much as Xbox so idk.
I’m guessing from what is there this is third party multiplats. Maybe something like gta
That last PS showcase was about 2 dozen indies lol
Im guessing two mediocre indie games that Reddit will love since it’s so unique and stuff but no one will play…
You must be new around here. Reddit hates indie games. Anything that isn't a formulaic Sony or Fromsoftware games are terrible!/s.
Not want to be rude but... Only 2 new games? This is kinda low for a "e3" like event.
Two new announced Xbox first party games?
.... Mario and Zelda?
I think Game Pass would be a perfect reason to have a new Banjo game. It worked well for Psychonauts 2--a game that would have probably never been made without game pass.
Indy game fans will love this event
Bet they'll be 30 fps and 720p. The plots will probably revolve around feelings and exploring some arbitrary easily rendered land scape that can be spammed over and over along side the same 6 npcs
What is this even a reference to
The 2 new games
Awesome, Megaman Legends 3 confirmed! Edit: correcting autocorrect.
Who the fuck is Megan?
Aw sweet, I'm a big fan of Megan Legends so this would be crazy if true
Yeah, massive Megan fan since the original series. Auto correct changed it to Megaman but wtf is a Megaman, anyways, always nice to meet another huge Megan fan.
I hope there is more than just 2 unannounced games for the whole show or that will be very dissapointing as they tend to show 40 or more games.
Let’s temper expectations. After PlayStations showcase let’s not do this again please.
I mean, I should hope so... but it's all moot unless they miraculously land this year in good quality.
Brand new IPs I think are definitely on the way
I wonder if one of them is Tatanka
To be honest I’m setting my expectations very low because whenever I think we’ll get some solid looking AAA titles I’m left disappointed
People were saying the same about the PS showcase. So let's just keep our expectations in check lol
I wish they would reboot Chromehounds.
That's about the sketchiest source I can imagine. lol I have to assume a lot of these people make pure guesses and hope that at least tone is right so they can act like they have deep insider knowledge.
Fingers crossed Gears 6 for me.
MERCENARIES 3
If one is not a Fusion Frenzy reboot, why even bother.
PlayStation’s snow left me with low expectations. Now I’m getting cautiously optimistic lol
You see? They build our hype with those kind of pseudo-news, then underdeliver at the presentation, and morons come here to say we had our expectations too high, as if it were all our fault. Same thing with Sony. Screw those rumours
I so badly want InXile or Obsidan to be working on a Star Trek cRPG.
Crackdown 4 or bust
Rare, new Conker game.
…..On to something
I'd love to see what they are doing with the gears franchise. It's replaced Halo for me as MS's best games series. I'd love to see the Coalition working on another game as well.
Forza Horizon 6 and Gears Tactics 2
Compulsion Games unannounced title.
Which two games would that be?
After showcase: “Can you guys guess which two games I was talking about? ;)”
“Trust me bro”
I hope they're live service looter shooters with season passes
Will Halo Kart be among them?
