If you're eagerly awaiting Xbox's third-annual Developer Direct next week, you're not alone. This highly anticipated showcase is set to unveil four games, three of which are already confirmed: Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. However, the fourth mystery title remains under wraps, sparking widespread speculation among gaming enthusiasts.
Industry insiders suggest the hidden gem could be a new installment in a beloved Japanese franchise with a storied legacy. While possibilities like Resident Evil, Persona, and Ninja Gaiden are popular theories, there's always room for surprises. For instance, Square Enix, known for Final Fantasy, might make an appearance, though recent partnerships with PlayStation may cast doubt on such expectations.
Regardless of the mystery game's identity, Xbox fans can look forward to insights into Compulsion Games' South of Midnight and more details about Doom: The Dark Ages and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Tune in to the Developer Direct on January 23 to uncover the fourth revelation and enjoy the excitement firsthand.
