But if this fails, too, Microsoft doesn’t just lose out on a potential best-seller they’d also lose out on one of their more venerated franchises and would probably spell the death of the Fable series. Still, news about Fable’s release continues to be anticipated by fans, and many hope that its transfer to Playground Games means that it will be much more grounded in its promises and would actually deliver. After all, many fans already know better than to trust every word that comes out of Peter Molyneux’s mouth, so much so that his failed promises still haunt Fable even if he’s no longer involved in its development. Fableįable is definitely one of the most-awaited games for the Xbox Series X, but its long stay in development hell has toned down the hype for the game by a lot. Here are some of the biggest upcoming titles from Microsoft, as well as some Xbox console exclusives from closely related third parties, that will define the future of Microsoft in gaming for years to come. So, with the release and failure of Redfall, the failure of Warhammer 40K: Darktide, Phil Spencer’s admission that Xbox is third fiddle behind Nintendo and Sony, and the uncertainty around other first-party offerings Xbox has for the near future, a lot now lies on the shoulders of the following games that will definitely define make or break moments for Microsoft in the gaming space for this console generation – and potentially, generations to come. Zenimax, Bethesda, Activision, Blizzard, King these are just some names that have become or are becoming part of the Microsoft ecosystem in an effort to develop first-party titles that will boost the Xbox library – but it’s been a great while since the Xbox has seen a massive first-party exclusive drop, while its rivals have been putting out GOTY contenders yearly like Tears of the Kingdom, God of War Ragnarok, and Horizon Forbidden West. Microsoft promised fans that Xbox will have great exclusives when they acquired big gaming companies, but if these hyped games don’t deliver, then that means Microsoft is headed towards disaster.
