The Xbox Games Showcase was an opportunity for Microsoft to present many games, with a rich conference that visibly reassured players. Even if some highly anticipated titles were not in the game, Phil Spencer seems very confident for the year 2024, as he explains in the columns of
Polygon.
Phil Spencer isn’t worried about the future
Asked about his strategy for the year 2024, with the many games planned to which Activision-Blizzard games would potentially be added, the Xbox boss says he is not very afraid, and explains why he is not worried about the future :
In fact, I’m not very afraid of 2024. 2022 has been difficult for us. But I think waiting for some games… Let’s take South of Midnight. As you have seen, the game has been announced. This game was ready to be announced last year. But we thought we had to keep working on the game. Let’s keep working on the announcement. It’s okay to delay the announcement.
Take the example of Clockwork Revolution. When I was at E3 last year, I was at inXile playing this game. I didn’t watch the announcement video, I played this game. And came back this year at inXile, to play there again with this team, browsing the latest versions.
This gives me confidence, as we are staging the announcement of the game as it nears its release. We have our hands on the game. We have confidence in the release date of the games.
Xbox has many games in the works
Phil Spencer repeatedly reiterates that 2022 hasn’t been a great year for first-party AAA game releases, but he’s confident for 2024 thanks to the creative capacity the company now has. brand.
Xbox is indeed now in a position to reap the fruits of its work over the past five years and in particular its various acquisitions. Spencer explains that there are still many games that the brand hasn’t talked about, referring to projects from The Coalition and id Software in addition to highly anticipated titles like Everwild or Perfect Dark:
When I look to the future…there are so many things. We haven’t talked about what id’s gonna do yet [ndlr : Software]. We haven’t talked about The Coalition’s projects yet. When are we going to see Perfect Dark again? And when will we see Everwild again? There’s so much we’re still working on that we haven’t shown. I don’t like to be confident, but I like to be humble. I feel good with this portfolio.
Seeing Phil Spencer so confident is obviously very positive for gamers who have been desperately waiting for Xbox to unveil games. We hope that this great momentum will be confirmed with the release of Starfield and Forza Motorsport at the end of the year, and that the brand will be able to engage at a steady pace in 2024.
The Xbox Game Pass will of course be one of Microsoft’s best assets, and you can already find the list of the next Xbox Game Pass games coming at the end of 2023 and 2024 in our full article.
