It's almost time to take a peek at some of what Xbox has in store for gamers this year. The Xbox Developer Direct, Microsoft's first game showcase of 2024, takes place today. It starts at 3PM ET and you can watch it below.
The biggest news from the stream is likely to come in the form of MachineGames' Indiana Jones project. We'll get our first peek at gameplay three years after Microsoft announced the title, and learn details about the characters and setting. MachineGames will deliver over 10 minutes of game and developer insights.
Elsewhere, fans will get more information on Avowed, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade IIand Ara: History Untold. Unfortunately, it seems that Xbox won't suddenly release a new game during the showcase, as it did with Hi-Fi Rushduring the last Developer Direct a year ago. «All the games in this year’s Developer Direct will be arriving later, with more details to be shared in the program,» an Xbox blog post reads.
Although Microsoft won't share news on any Activision Blizzard games during the Developer Direct, you can tune in to a livestream earlier in the day for a Diablo IV Developer Update. That starts at noon ET on the Diablo YouTube and Twitch channels. You'll learn about gameplay updates for the next season, along with details on quality-of-life improvements, Season Journey and The Gauntlet.
Elder Scrolls Online fans will probably want to stick around after the Developer Direct ends. Starting at 4PM ET on the Bethesda Twitch channel and Xbox YouTube and Twitch channels, they'll get a look at the MMORPG's next major chapter, with details on the new zone, storyline and other key features.
