For the past 25 years, Xbox has delivered some of the greatest games of all time.
Games that change what if Asha says the word Killer Instinct, I'll put in 100 games that define generations. Xbox was built on the spirit of Even if Killer Inc mentioned, I'll put in 100. As we kick off the show with Gears of War Eday, it's only fitting that as we return to Xbox, we return to Gears. So today we're announcing that Gears of War Eday will be an Xbox console exclusive. The core of Xbox is great games, and that's what today is all about. We're going to show you more than 25 titles from creators around the world, followed by our Gears Direct.
Enjoy the show. That is an FP PlayStation announcement. Still PC, not on PC. Would won't it be on Windows? Windows version would be a PC version. Moment my powers came in. Well, I was being crushed to death with seaater and mud and manure. Looks fablish. Whilst holding on to my sister's hand, I remember her fingers gripped so tightly in mine that her nails drew blood until I too dark. Too dark for Fable lost her grip. But she stayed away. Does stick in the memory a bit? Yeah, I know why you're here. Is fable. You want to talk about them?
Is Fable. Facial animations are too good. You ever seen a legend in the flesh? All that power. And how do they use it? Killing mindless beasts. Fighting petty villains. None of that matters. Look what a guild shat. A real hero knows how to wield power. Don't waste time and trivialities. You're back and dressed like a [ __ ] Got more important things to worry about than vegetables. A hero knows how to live with their choices. I What the [ __ ] was that? I was just just sent my brother into the infinite [ __ ] ABYSS WITHOUT EVEN ASKING PERMISSION. Such language.
I would never hear this much [ __ ] language. Guilty. Oh, I told you what I told them. Albian is broken and I'm going to mend it. Albian doesn't need heroes. It needs a hero. You're a monster. And that hero. This looks really expensive. Is she the bad guy? Huh? Cool. That's a good twist. That was a good twist. February 23rd, 2027. That's actually coming out. It actually has a date. Let's go KI. Come on. Let's go KI. Oh, it's Halo remix the story. Halo the chief stuff of legends. But that's not the story I'm telling today, Sarge.
This one you haven't heard. Upstairs is simple enough. Drop in, grab the goods, get out before anyone noticed. Well, guess what? They noticed. Halo zero. Now you ready to get to it. You serve long enough. You learn to read a battlefield. This place more of a freak show. And trust me, I know Freaky. Have you enjoyed your stay so far, Demon? Sorry to interrupt, but we're on the clock. The thing with simple jobs is they always get complicated. The plans change, odds get worse. My advice, bring a Spartan. Three missions, prequel missions. Whoa. Wait. That was it.
Cool. Gee, if you ever get tired of being the strong almost silent type, no. Interesting. So, it's just more to campaign evolve than the campaign being the campaign. Huh, that's cool. I still want to play that with the guys. Four player campaign co-op would be fun. There's something on this island. It's like it calls to me. You and my father found that island thanks to me. There's more to this than you understand. These are the plague handle. I've proven myself. Have you? Have you really? The sword keeps you alive. A dagger wins the fight. This doesn't look like a walking around in kind of game only.
The final confrontation is about to begin. Where are the other? Hell, suddenly it's rise, son of Rome. They're all dead. Move. But you couldn't have said, "Hey, Lenny, you know those ancient death curse rulers? Well, maybe they're true. Sit in a plague tale legacy." Huh. Huh. That didn't look bad. Yeah, Blake Dale was interesting, too. You ever heard of the Midnight Channel? Domino might have been on that Midnight Channel before she died, too. Chad, this game's based on that fighting game, right? Right. Where are you? This fighting game was so popular that they made like an RPG around it.
Totally different. This one like 10 years later, they finally made a game out of that Persona 4 Arena fighting game. Of it to wield a Persona is to finally dude. Everyone loved those characters so much. About time they made a real game out of Strengthened through bombs. Doesn't it sound cool? Someone had to see that. I'm glad it was you. Was that supposed to be him? Good times never seem to last long, do they? I hate you, sneaky, stupid bully. Jersey. They can't win, chat. I think I watched 90% of this game. Come on, don't call me that.
Because of Giant Bomb. Is this the right one? Then that means Senpai got killed by her other self. Is this the right one? Get out of here. The Giant Bomb playthrough back from the mid 2000s. The endurance run. Yes. Pretend I'm not Ria. Yeah, I didn't I don't know if I watched all of it, but I secondhand watched it cuz I listened to a lot of it at work. I treated it like a podcast. All right, which means that we also got to catch whoever's talking before podcasts were really big. I think I'd like to help, too.
I'm not running away from this. Well, and I have no problem taking down Shadows. It's over. So, yeah, I'll be counting on you, partner. That was a Hood classic. Yeah, it was. Was it Jeff and Vinnie the whole time back then? Yeah. Persona. There's a lot of stuff coming out next early next year. Holy heck, dude. There's a lot. Early 2027. Another Xbox Game Studios game. Damn. Another State of Decay. Six. My friends and I used to argue about what ended the world. A weapon, a virus, something worth. Started in quiet towns, empty roads, places the world forgot.
Sunset Overdrive 2 looking pretty bleak. Guys, I found a nest. These survivors found each other. Built walls, pushed back against the night. We'll always have each other's back because the world has become more dangerous. State of State of Decay was like the co-op multiplayer zombie survival game, right? The dead aren't just wandering anymore. They hunt. Steve liked this one. He did. In the end, it doesn't matter what you believe. I think what I think of zombie multiplayer games is what other people think of fighting games, right? So do we. Like other people look at fighting games and they all look like the exact same to them and I look at like zombie multiplayer games and I'm kind of like, "Oh yeah.
I think to the uneducated, you know, which in this case is me. Left five dead, five forehead. Left five dead, five head. Left five head. I like left five head. On the Sea of Thieves, there have BEEN PLENTY OF GRAND ADVENTURES. But what if you could make your own Sea of Thieves experience with our new free update CUSTOM SEAS? YOU CAN. LET ME EXPLAIN. You could create new ways to play, like Robbo Royale, where small but bloodthirsty crews juke it out IN A FURIOUS BATTLE to the death. Just remember to watch out for explosive barrels.
Oh, I'm sure they're fine. Or skeleton. Any chance of Devil May Cry here? Shooter with the highest score wins. I think the chance of anything Capcom is low. And these and one of THOSE AND ABSOLUTELY LOADS OF THESE. AND WELL, you get the idea. YOU COULD CREATE A CINEMATIC masterpiece with enhanced camera tools. YOU COULD SHOW ROMANCE, ACTION, or tragedy. OR MAYBE JUST SHOW THE WORLD FROM A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE. Or you could even just CREATE A PLACE TO HANG. Forgot that Devil May Cry 5 was revealed at Xbox showcase. Or you could come together for a party.
No, I didn't. Want somewhere you can just kick back? That was also multiple executives ago and nearly a decade. Pursuits may be definitely forget. Keys to the seas. THERE'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF POSSIBILITY. What I did What I did remember was that the lead Devil May Cry dude left Capcom about a year ago, made his own studio. It's up to you, and took a bunch of Capcom devs that made Devil May Cry with him. So, there's going to be a little bit of time till that [ __ ] happens. There is a liar in these tunnels.
They call him Fur. But that is not your name. Metro. Yeah. Your name is Hunter. As a Spartan, you were a legend. You stood for something. But where are the Spartans now? To protect the metro from you. You promised a brighter future. Flies the people. Now the Norai spreads tyranny in your name. You swore to crush the enemy, to face them head on, and guide the metro to the light. graphics. But darkness consumes you, spreads like a plague, beats you from within. Bats. Every step and every move drowns you deeper in lies. Your lies. And now, hunter, that legendary Spartan is gone.
Turn to ash. I won't stop. Until the turer burns with him. This look really good. Wake up. Wake up. Like what is what is Metro Chat? Is it like simulation fantasy? That's a cool that's cool ass box art. Holy [ __ ] It's like super realistic but like fantasy world premiere alternate reality fantasy. Yeah. This isn't crazy taxi. I already like this. It's like Resident Evil, but you're a bird. Is that a falling star? Bad magpie. That game was cute. Wow, that game was cute. Damn. Crazy Taxi looking a lot different. Neo3 expansion. Yeah, Neo3 DLC. Maybe I got to beat this game now.
Suit of the elixir of immortality. A champion rises, destined to quell the chaos of this senseless cycle. No, Neo3's out. came out earlier this year. It's extremely good. This is Woolong [ __ ] It is goddamn Koe Techmo games. Oh, look at the same disrespectful. Actually, woolong. Why are we doing Wolong 2? That's crazy. That's crazy. Woolong 2. So, it was you who set the red cliffs ablaze. It was me. That was me. Sorry. There was an accident. Holy [ __ ] Woolong did good enough to get a sequel. Wow. Neo3 looking crazy. I can't believe they called Neo3 expansion DLC Wong 2 for the challenge and the reward of opening your very own cult.

Believing time would see them heal. But what is left in the dark seconds and some binds cannot be broken. They pump these Hellblade games out fast. No, dude. No. Hellblade 2 took forever.

Could an honest thief ask for and then 100 people had suggestions and the guy just went yes.

But before we do, one franchise that has been with us from the beginning is Call of Duty. Now it's bigger than ever with a new Modern Warfare later this year and a movie on the way. Last month, the teams at Infinity Ward and Activision gave us a glimpse of the story and gameplay. Today, they are back with a first look at DMZ, re-imagined in a way that only Call of Duty can deliver.
dude, they literally have like every genre except a fighting game. What executives kid got their ass beat when they went online? Which one? Now we're never doing this [ __ ] again. Inside the mall is a set of black files carrying bounty intel on a high value target. Locate the files and eliminate the HBT. Expect contact. HD may be in the area anyone after that intel. Jeez, this place is huge. It's dark as hell. That's why you got NVGs, man. Hey, I'm going to head downstairs real quick. See if there's any weapons or gear laying around. No, it's a negative.
That's not why we're here. I'm going to be fine. It's only going to take two seconds. I say again, that's a negative. Okay, get your ass upstairs. Damn, he's down. Let's go help him. Hell no. That's on him. He got shot in the face, my dude. Copy. Where are we at on the intel? Got it. All right, let's find that HVT. Everything's a tarov. Over to actual letting that intel compromise your location. Enemies are alerted to your position. [ __ ] Yeah, you know we're here. Damn. [ __ ] just find that HTT. Hey, hold up. What's up? Hey, you good, man?
Yeah, you're all right. Give me cover fire now. are making a lot of noise. Be aware, more enemy hostiles are now hunting your position. Was that the HVT? [ __ ] the HVT. Let's just go to X. I got you, man. This is a confusing trailer to me. You good? Yep. All right, let me get some ammo. Oh, hell. It's like it's portraying DMZ, you know, like a Tarov like like this is a unique idea like, oh, you're unfamiliar with how this is, you know, when these things have been around for like 7 years. Like, it's weird for them to present the game in this way, like longer, you know?
It's odd to present the game in this way. IT'S AN EXTRACTION shooter like Tarov. That's exactly what I'm saying is that there's a billion extraction games nowadays. This is being presented in a way that is like you've never seen extraction like this. Like right like you've never seen an extraction shooter like this. And it just looks like copy. Let's have medical very odd choice. This looks like every other extraction shooter. Who knows? Maybe it'll be fun as [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Yeah. from all like, you know, from all the acting comms and all that stuff. Damn.
Is it Are they going to get ganked right before they get on the extraction? No. This is unrealistic. This is very unrealistic. They didn't get killed when they were three steps away from the extraction and then have all their [ __ ] stolen. See, this is cool. I almost wish they just did this instead. Just make it a cinematic trailer. That was weird. That was weird. I don't know. I think the thing at the end was kind of neat. Show like all the features and stuff that DMZ will have. I think that's kind of neat. Um, all right.
That was the Xbox show chat. I can't say for much longer. There was some good stuff here. I'm going to give him credit. There's some good stuff here and I can't wait for the Eday thing. This I think Gears actually looks quite good though. Um, not to talk [ __ ] about it. Uh, I read that as something very different. I literally chat I in in very quick passing I read this as erect day. Like I'm like erect day. I was like, "What did I just Oh, e day to not Gears of War. Erect day."
