Microsoft has announced that the next Xbox Partner Preview will take place in just a few days. It promises a 25-minute presentation featuring both new and announced games from teams such as Remedy, Sega, 505 Games, and more. Xbox has shown off many of its first-party projects at multiple summer showcases such as Summer Game Fest, Gamescom, and even Tokyo Game Show, but this presentation will be all about third-party games coming to the Xbox platform. This partner showcase is promised to be “no-fluff, all-games” and includes first looks at gameplay for Alan Wake 2‘s The Lake House expansion, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and “multiple” world premieres.
