State of Decay 3
After years of limited updates, State of Decay 3 could finally take center stage with a deeper look at its survival mechanics, open-world systems, and cooperative gameplay.
Clockwork Revolution
The game inspired by steampunk from inXile Entertainment has created a lot of buzz after being revealed. Hopefully, we will get a glimpse of their time-manipulation features in this showcase.
Call of Duty and Bethesda Rumors
Another possible topic at Microsoft’s showcase might be the announcements made by its recently acquired studios.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4

Xbox Evolving Platform Strategy
In addition to any new game releases, industry analysts will be keenly observing the platform strategy of Microsoft going forward.
Under the leadership of CEO Asha Sharma, the Xbox platform has adopted a multipronged platform strategy. The recent debate has been around the issue of the Xbox games going forward being exclusive or coming out on other platforms as well.
Microsoft has also taken into consideration the feedback from the community regarding how the logos of competing platform brands have been featured in past trailers. Even though the PlayStation logo will feature in this event, the strategy for doing so is under review.
