On January 23^RDMicrosoft presents the Xbox Developer_Direct 2025 showcase. For almost an hour, fans receive updates in four that are highly anticipated video game For the year on Xbox Series X | S, directly from the developer itself. I really enjoy this kind of announcement. We can hear the Creators with enthusiasm to discuss the game they are working on. Most of the titles presented have been known, one -the only surprise is the arrival of Ninja Gaiden. However, new details were launched, including the release date for each. This is my summary.

Ninja Gaiden 4

Team Ninja/Koei ​​Tecmo Games/PlatinumGames/Xbox Games Studio

In collaboration with Platinumgames, Team Ninja revealed the development of the fourth main installment in the iconic Ninja Gaiden series. Ninja Gaiden 4 Image amazing, polished, and battle looks precise and solid. Fans will see the touch of Platinumgames signature in this game credited to the Ninja Team. I have high hopes for this title and I feel that I will not be disappointed.

Located in the broken heart of Tokyo filled with Satan’s monster, the title introduced Yakumo, a new protagonist in this series. The order of the gameplay revealed introduces a new vision of Ninja battle. Style techniques like Ninjutsu Bloodbind are seen, while combining icon techniques from series, such as flying swallow and Izuna drop. Fans will be happy to know that Ryu Hayabusa will appear. He will even be a character that can be played as a Ninja master with a changed weaponry that remains loyal to his brutality and legendary accuracy.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is scheduled for autumn 2025 Xbox Series X | S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

South midnight

Game Compulsion/Xbox Games Studio

Before anything, I really enjoyed the atmosphere South midnight. Both the music and visuals buried players in South America, reminiscent of her Louisiana and Bayous. The game is being developed at Montreal by Compulsion Games, so I am even more eager to get it. The recording shown revealed the details of the story: Hazel began a search to find his house. The storm blows his house with his mother inside. Of course, the young woman will leave in the pursuit to find it, hopefully it is safe and healthy.

Hazel has a unique power and meets creatures taken from the folklore of the region. He will be called to master the strength of the ancestors who are able to weave creatures that are damaged back together and reveal the trauma that has destroyed them. The search will also be personal, adding a narrative layer that I really want to find in just a few months.

South Midnight will be released on April 8 Xbox Series X | S and PC.

Clear Obscure: Expedition 33

Sandfall Interactive/Kepler Interactive

Sandfall Interactive gives us the play play with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which seems to have really come out of the path being beaten. Draw inspiration from games such as Persona 5 and the latest metaphor: Refantazio, players will fight both in turn -based mode and in real time battles. The title takes place in a fantasy version of France at the end of the 19th century, where the world faces the existential threat of year after year.

Once a year, The Paintress wakes up. In his monolites, he painted his damned number, and all that the age turned into smoking. Tomorrow, he will wake up to paint number 33. That is why the character will start their last mission: to eliminate people who are more disciples, so he might never paint death again.

In terms of gameplay mechanics, in -depth development of the skills of each character is planned. Various passive skills will be added to what players can unlock throughout the adventure. It’s up to them to activate it or not. With a fantastic grand world map, a fantastic bestiary, and a complete adjustment device, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 aims to comply with traditional role games while offering elements that make things remain modern.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be released on April 22 for Xbox Series X | S and PC.

Doom: The Dark Ages

ID Software/Bethesda Softworks

Revealed in June 2024, Slayer returned in Doom: The Dark Century. Players will once again take the role of champions who are not grateful to face the darkness in the first person’s shooter and action games that look more epic than before. Designed with the latest idtech engine, players will watch the origin of the killer’s wrath. As a prequel for Doom (2016) and Eternal Doom, this story will reveal how the final hope of the kingdom is the worst dream of hell.

Although the typical franchise weapons will still be present, I am captivated by a saw protective demonstration during the developer directly. Both can protect the Slayer enemy shot and bounce off to send projectiles back to them. The jagged edge will also function as a throw weapon to cause damage to the enemy at different distances. Undeniably, this will be painful. This shield will also allow us to cross a collapsed bridge, scale structure, open secret alley, and break the crates filled with property. Talk about multifunctional tools!

Doom: The Dark Ages is scheduled for May 15, 2025, on the Xbox Series X | S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

My favorite is South midnightProduced in Quebec, but Ninja Gaiden 4 promised to be intense.
