The Xbox Wire shed a few more details on what to expect from the event, including our first real look at Indiana Jones. The Developer Direct will spend about 10 minutes on the project, which includes the first gameplay trailer and details on the title’s setting and story.

There weren’t really any details given for Hellblade 2‘s segment. Instead, the Xbox Wire says to expect a behind-the-scenes look at the game courtesy of Ninja Theory. We last saw the title at The Game Awards within an impressive new trailer and a release window confirmed for this year.

Avowed is getting a “deep dive into the gameplay experience” from Obsidian Entertainment. The studio will detail the game’s Living Lands and the action RPG’s “deep themes, dynamic gameplay, and thoughtful reactivity.”

Also at the Developer Direct will be Oxide Games’ Ara: History Untold. We’ll get a new look at gameplay and features from the history strategy game crafted by veteran developers of the Civilization series.

Xbox also notes that there will be a standalone presentation from Zenimax Online Studios following the Developer Direct. Here you can expect details on The Elder Scrolls Online‘s 2024
