Microsoft’s Xbox Game Release Windows for Rest of 2024 Reportedly Revealed
A new report has revealed launch timings for Xbox games throughout the rest of 2024, spilling the beans on when to expect everything from the next Call of Duty to Indiana Jones.
The Verge reported that Bethesda is currently targeting a September release for the Starfield expansion Shattered Space. In a recent interview, Bethesda development chief Todd Howard announced a fall release window for the expansion.
Elsewhere, Activision plans to release the next Call of Duty, which some fans believe is called Black Ops V, in late October, according to The Verge. The same report claims Obsidian’s Avowed and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 follow in November, leaving MachineGames’ hotly anticipated Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to launch in December.
If true, that’s a jam-packed second half of 2024 for Xbox, which is now boosted by Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard and all the games it owns. It’s worth remembering that Microsoft now owns Blizzard and MMO World of Warcraft, which is set to receive the The War Within expansion before the end of this year.
Microsoft is heavily rumored to be planning to announce the next Gears of War game during its showcase, although there’s no indication it’s a 2024 title. Expect plenty of release dates for all the games coming out this year, and some set for 2025. Other announced Microsoft games include The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics’ Perfect Dark reboot, Rare’s Everwild, Playground’s Fable reboot, InXile’s Clockwork Revolution, Undead Labs’ State of Decay 3, and Compulsion Games’ South of Midnight.
Fans don’t have long to wait before hearing all this straight from the horse’s mouth; Microsoft’s Xbox showcase event is set for June 9.
