Microsoft’s teaser image for the event also includes a teaser for an unannounced “brand new game” Xbox game. Last year’s Developer Direct featured a first look at Bethesda’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Microsoft lifted the curtain for fans and revealed an Xbox Developer Direct is coming this month and they've teased a new reveal with it.

All three games confirmed to appear at the Developer Direct—Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33—are set for 2025 release windows. However, the promo graphic for the showcase teases a mystery fourth game. Xbox did a similar tease last year, and the bonus game ended up being Square Enix’s Visions of Mana.

Microsoft will once again hold a Xbox Developer Direct to kick off the new year, with deep dives into a small selection of upcoming Xbox Game Studios titles. Xbox's next livestream will begin at 6pm UK time (that's 1pm Eastern or 10am Pacific) on Thursday, 23rd January - that's a fortnight from today.

Microsoft has announced the next Xbox Developer Direct, this time showcasing four upcoming titles that are aiming to launch in 2025. These games are Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, DOOM: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight and one currently-redacted surprise.
