Next weekIt's official: Xbox Developer Direct will take place on 23 January with three highly anticipated games on show and one surprise, where it will present four games: DOOM: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and some secret game from an unnamed studio.

Of course, this announcement could not go unnoticed and journalists and insiders started looking for information about the mysterious announcement. Earlier it was believed that this show will be a The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake could be announced as early as next month: insider has no doubts about the development of an updated version of the cult RPG, but there is information that completely excludes it.

Here's What We Know

Two reputable insiders have reported that the fourth game at the Xbox Developer Direct will be "a new game based on a legendary Japanese franchise with decades of history behind it." Neither Windows Central editor Jez Corden nor eXtas1s said what the game would be, and there are too many series to make a confident prediction.

But taking into account Final Fantasy XIV is coming to the Xbox Series! Square Enix and Microsoft have announced a close partnership with Microsoft, it is realistic to predict that a new instalment of the legendary Dragon Quest series will be announced at the show. Also we can't exclude that the audience will be presented the first trailer of JRPG Persona 6, which has been rumoured for a long time, and Atlus studio employees hinted that they will show something interesting in 2025.

Well, let's wait for the 23rd of January and see what will be shown to us at the Xbox Developer Direct. The show will start at 19:00 (CET).
