Time for the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 and Black Ops 6: how to watch and what to expect from Microsoft’s event
Xbox’s most crucial moment for the future of the gaming brand, in which fans will see what they can expect from them in the coming years, is about to take place
Xbox is on the verge of experiencing one of the most important moments of the year. The division will celebrate its usual showcase in which they’ll reveal their planned games for the rest of the year. Except this 2024 they’re coming in hot since it will be the first edition with Activision Blizzard games forming part of its portfolio. That, and they’ll have to deal with the massive loss of consumer trust after the sudden closure of several beloved studios.
When is the Xbox Game Showcase 2024 and Black Ops 6 Direct and how to watch them?
The Xbox Game Showcase 2024 will be held on June 9, 2024, at 10:00 am PT. It is estimated that its duration will be around an hour and a half. Once it concludes, it will immediately give way to a presentation dedicated to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. As happened last year with Starfield, Treyarch’s new installment will have a space dedicated to showing what they are preparing for the installment.
Both conferences can be followed live through the official Xbox channels on YouTube and Twitch.
What can we expect from the Xbox Game Showcase 2024 and Black Ops 6 Direct?
The enormous portfolio of studios that Xbox currently has allows expectations to be divided throughout the conglomerate. On the part of Xbox itself, It is logical to think that Playground Games will offer the first gameplay footage of Fable. In 2023, the studio showed an in-engine trailer in real-time, but the time is approaching when we should see gameplay. Another one that has a good chance of being shown is State of Decay 3. Its revelation in 2020 seems too far away already. The latest rumors suggested that new material will be shared, but nothing has been confirmed. We will also see new material from Avowed for sure.
On the part of the Zenimax conglomerate, it is clear that their biggest title for 2024 is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The most famous whip on the big screen will have his new adventure in a video game with the face of Harrison Ford himself in his youth. It’s time to know its release date. But the surprise on this side will be the next Doom. Tom Henderson leaked what should be one of the biggest announcements during the event.
Regarding Activision Blizzard, it is clear that the most important game in its catalog is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. There’s a reason it’s going to have its own space at the event. Together with it, we will surely see what is to come in games that continue to grow as the months go by. The most logical thing is that we know the day on which Diablo 4 will receive Vessel of Hatred, its first major expansion. World of Warcraft is in a similar situation, for which it is still unknown when The War Within will land.
