Xbox to Unveil Fourth Developer Direct Event on January 22
On January 22, at 1PM ET, Xbox will host its fourth Developer Direct event, a showcase that promises to deliver an exclusive glimpse into the upcoming year's slate of games. During this event, which is being held for the umpteenth time, fans can expect news, new gameplay footage, and behind-the-scenes insights directly from the teams responsible for some of the most highly anticipated titles.
One notable highlight will be a rebooted version of the beloved Fable series, with Xbox Wire Editor-in-Chief Jon Skrebels confirming that this anniversary year will mark a return to form for some cherished franchises. Gamers can look forward to getting their first extended glimpse at this revamped take on the iconic game, as well as an early look at gameplay footage from Forza Horizon 6.
Developed by UK studio Playground Games, Forza Horizon 6 promises to deliver an open-world racing experience set in Japan, further cementing the series' reputation for immersive gameworlds and high-octane action. However, Fable fans will also be eager to see how this reboot addresses some of the criticisms that plagued its predecessors.
In addition to these two flagship titles, a one-person, one-dog role-playing game known as Beast of Reincarnation is set to make an appearance at the event. Developed by Game Freak - the studio behind some of the most iconic Pokémon games - this post-apocalyptic RPG follows protagonist Emma and her canine companion in a world that's equal parts bleak and beautiful.
While dates for the individual titles have yet to be confirmed, Xbox has assured fans that they will be sharing a wealth of information at Developer Direct. With 25 years under its belt, Xbox is clearly looking back as well as forward, and this event promises to deliver an entertaining and informative ride into what's next for the console giant.

! They're gonna give us a sneak peek at some new games that I've been itching to play, especially Fable reboot and Forza Horizon 6 
. I mean, who doesn't love open-world racing in Japan? But what I'm really excited about is Beast of Reincarnation... sounds like an amazing RPG, and the fact that it's from Game Freak gives me some hope 
. Can we get some confirmation on gameplay footage though? Would love to see Emma and her dog kick some butt 
.
and they really know how to hype up their events! fourth Developer Direct is gonna be lit 
can't wait to see more gameplay footage from Fable & Forza Horizon 6, that Japan setting in FH 6 sounds insane 
and a one-dog RPG? 
that's a first for me. think they're trying to mix things up with Beast of Reincarnation, kinda like how Pokémon evolved from the old gen games to the new ones 
always excited to see what’s next from Xbox 
Xbox needs to bring their A-game if they wanna compete with Sony & Nintendo's latest announcements! 
Just hope they don't make Fable series too different from the original, I loved playing Fable 3 in school days lol 
! But seriously though, have you guys noticed how Xbox is just teasing us with all these great games? It's like they're building up to something huge... am I right? 
. plus who doesn't love an open-world racing experience set in japan? 
beast of reincarnation sounds like a wild ride too! post-apocalyptic rpg with a one-person, one-dog duo? yes please! 
anyway, sounds like xbox is trying to make up for some of the lackluster games released last year with these new announcements 
i'm kinda hyped for fable 4 already 
it seems like xbox is really trying to bring back some of their old franchises, which is awesome. but at the same time, there's also some skepticism among fans because of how things have gone with the series in the past 
! And a one dog RPG? 
. Has anyone else got their console ready for the new year?
It's gonna be awesome to see what Xbox has in store for us - that Fable reboot is giving me life 
... Can't wait! 
. And Forza Horizon 6 in Japan? Mind blown 
#XboxDevDirect #FableReboot #ForzaHorizon6
, and it was such a massive part of my childhood gaming experience. Can you believe they're revamping it now? It's gonna be sick to see how they address all the criticism from before... but also super cool to see what new gameplay footage we get! And that one-person RPG with a dog? Sounds like a wild ride
