Xbox Confirms It's Planning A Summer Showcase

Xbox has confirmed that its "yearly Showcase" will return this Summer, although it's currently unclear whether it'll be attached to E3, or if it'll be its own thing entirely.

Yesterday, Xbox hosted its first Developer_Direct, shining a spotlight on Forza Motorsport and The Elder Scrolls Online, revealing release dates for Minecraft Legends and Redfall, and shadow dropping Hi-Fi Rush. Xbox has previously confirmed that a separate direct for Starfield was on the way, but it seems that it'll also have one more showcase during the Summer.

As reported by GamesRadar+, after the Developer_Direct, Xbox posted a summary of everything that was announced during the showcase on Xbox Wire. Towards the end of the post, Xbox reconfirms that it has plans for a Starfield deep dive at some point in the future, before confirming that its "yearly Showcase" is also returning to L.A. later Summer.

Xbox confirming that it will have a Summer showcase.

The post on Xbox Wire reads, "As we announced previously, in order to dedicate the proper amount of time for a deep dive into Bethesda Game Studios’ Starfield, a standalone show is in the works. In addition to this, our teams are working hard and look forward to sharing even more of what is next for our fans when we return to Los Angeles for our yearly Showcase this summer."

Microsoft doesn't confirm in the post whether the showcase will be its own individual thing like it has been in recent years, or if it'll be a part of E3 or Summer Game Fest. After missing 2022, E3 is confirmed to return this year, which means that it's possible that Microsoft will host its own conference as part of the event.

However, as has been proved in recent years, Microsoft and other companies can get by with their own presentations without being a part of E3, so it's not clear if it'll feel the need to get involved. That being said, Microsoft has been involved with E3 for every E3 in recent years, so if any company is going to make an appearance there, it's likely Xbox.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night.

Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.
