Xbox Developer Direct 2025 live – All of the latest Xbox news from the big showcase

gamesradar.com:

Of course, it's not just more Doom we're looking forward to. I've had my eye on turn-based RPG Clair Obscur since it was announced, and that was before they announced that the actors behind Gollum, Daredevil, and Shadowheart are linking up.

Last Summer Game Fest, Doom: The Dark Ages was reportedly ranked second as the most-wishlisted game of the event. Gears of War: E-Day was third, though it doesn't look likely we'll see that today. How highly does the new Doom game sit among your most anticipated games?

In fact, we got to speak to creative director Hugo Martin not after the new Doom was first revealed, who told us that id Software is making big changes to combat because the team came to the core realization that "every projectile mattered in the original Doom."

We also got into some of the secrets about how the team names the weapons. You see, the cool-looking Skull Crusher is called that because "it crushes skulls." Inspired.

One of the games we're excited most for is Doom: The Dark Ages. That's partly because the original runs on just about anything, but mainly as rippin' and tearin' is up there with some of gaming's biggest joys.

First things first. If you're still looking for a stream for the big event, you'll find 'em at the usual places like YouTube and Twitch. The show isn't set to start until 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT, though you'll likely find the streams going live 10 minutes early to allow everyone to filter in.

And we're live! We still have some time until the showcase kicks off, though there's plenty to get caught up on and there's little doubt some news may trickle in as we get closer to the Xbox Developer Direct.
