Hollow Knight Silksong; Coming This Year

After a few years of silence from Nintendo, Hollow Knight's highly anticipated sequel made a surprise appearance during Xbox's event. Playing as Hornet, Silksong will see players venture through a new and unfamiliar world, with foes to battle and mysteries to solve.

Overwatch 2; Free To Play

The team behind Overwatch 2 didn't disappoint. The follow-up to Blizzard's highly successful multiplayer shooter will arrive in October, as a free-to-play game. Said to be bigger and better than its predecessor, the title will see new and old heroes team up against the robotic Null Sector army.

Starfield; Gameplay Reveal

Bethesda's space RPG has been on our radar since 2018, and a gameplay reveal at Xbox's event gave us plenty to look forward to. Displaying various locations, from Kreet to New Atlantis, memorable characters and exciting combat, it's set to be a No Man's Sky-style explorer for the ages.

Sea Of Thieves; Season 7 Is Coming

Titled 'Captains Of Adventure', Sea Of Thieves is gearing up for its seventh instalment. With the ability to buy, name and customise ships, we only hope the gameplay is as strong as its shanty advertisement.

Captains Of Adventure will release on July 23 2022, on Xbox and PC.

Kojima Productions; Untitled Project

There wasn't a name, release date or title image to accompany Hideo Kojima's presentation, but the announcement deserves a mention of its own. The Metal Gear and Death Stranding creator said the Xbox exclusive is a game he's always wanted to make, but warned it could take some time to come together. Whatever the outcome, consider us intrigued.
