The first gameplay of the project showed a game unmistakably Doom, but with a twist fans have never seen before. This interesting turn might have leaked before the official reveal, but the trailer is still impressive.

However, during the Xbox Games Showcase, we saw some gameplay clips, including some key moments from the game’s opening scenes, Snake using his iconic CQC techniques, and even a fight against a helicopter. Although some major characters, like the Boss herself, made their first appearance in this trailer, we still haven’t heard a release date.
Fable Shows Gameplay for the First Time
Playground Games has already given us a few sneak peeks of their new *Fable* game, but today’s appearance gave us our first solid look at the gameplay. The footage specifically focuses on Humphry, a retired hero, as he warns us about what it takes to succeed in this new magical world. We will learn more about this fresh take on the franchise and its giant toads as we get closer to the release in 2025 on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Life Is Strange Returns to a Classic Character with a New Game
Square Enix and Deck Nine Games revealed that the next *Life Is Strange* game, *Life Is Strange: Double Exposure*, will focus on the protagonist who started it all: Max Caufield. This mature version of the character fans know and love still uses her time-travel abilities, but this time she has accidentally thrown herself into a parallel universe. Players will use these abilities to solve the same murder in two timelines when the game launches on October 29, 2024.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Trailer Fights Through the Cold
The Indiana Jones franchise is known for its adventures around the world, and in the *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* gameplay trailer today, we got to see what Indy will be up to in the Himalayas. The sneak peek from MachineGames focuses mainly on the cinematics this time, but the video still contains a bit of the powerful, whip-swinging gameplay of the project. There’s no release date yet, so we’ll have to wait to see more of *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* before it launches later this year.
Avowed Trailer Dives Deeper into Obsidian's Next RPG
*Avowed* will soon join Obsidian’s long list of RPGs, and during today’s Xbox Games Showcase, the team gave us a better look at the lush fantasy world that players can expect at launch later this year.

Gears of War: E-Day Trailer Reveals Gears of War Prequel Game
It’s been five years since the release of *Gears 5*, and now we finally know what developer The Coalition has been working on all this time. The first trailer for *Gears: E-Day* revealed that the long-awaited sequel to Microsoft’s brutal cover shooter series is a prequel focusing on a young Marcus Fenix. It’s no surprise that the Gears of War franchise is finally making a comeback with a new main game, but it’s still delightful to see those Lancers in action again.
There is no release date for *Gears: E-Day* yet, but it will be available on Game Pass from day one.
Finally the reveal of a new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to release later this year, continuing the storyline from 2012's Black Ops 2. The game is now set in 1991, featuring a return of Adler with renewed determination. At the Black Ops 6 summit, I had the chance to play some multiplayer and gather insights on the campaign and Zombies mode.
