Microsoft has announced an upcoming Xbox Partner Preview broadcast event set for October 25 at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK.
The 30-minute show focuses on providing new looks at games coming to Xbox, Windows PC, and Game Pass from Xbox’s third-party partners, Microsoft said.
That includes a look at in-game activities for Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, a launch trailer for Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2, the first gameplay for Studio Wildcard’s Ark: Survival Ascended, and a deep dive into Microbird Games’ Dungeons of Hinterberg. Fans should expect more than 20 minutes of trailers and new gameplay footage.
In its note to press, Microsoft made a point of saying the Xbox Partner Preview will not feature any additional news, game reveals, or Game Pass information related to the company’s recent $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard King. Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said fans shouldn’t expect games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Diablo 4 to hit Game Pass until 2024 at the earliest, however.
It’s also safe to say Microsoft will not use this event to announce any new Xbox hardware. The big Xbox leak in September revealed potentially outdated plans to launch a mid-gen Xbox refresh without a disc drive in 2024, as well as a next-gen Xbox in 2028.
