Greenberg says there is no Xbox event coming soon that would have game announcements etc
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
Stinks, but I appreciate Aaron being upfront about this. Xbox has been fairly good about setting proper expectations and everything.
Yeah early suggestions were a blog post or interview after the bethesda deal closes, that blew up into a march E3 conference over the last week.

This makes sense and would be consistent with reasonable speculation that the Bethesda event will be a roundtable discussion similar to what they had when the acquisition was initially announced.
Feels like companies are getting better at leveling expectations for these things ahead of time, especially when you have a lot of people who tend to let their imaginations run wild and then get angry when those expectations aren't met.
Possible Bandai Namco Event
Honestly, I think it's more likely Bandai Namco holds their own event soon.
They filed a trademark for "Bandai Namco Next" not so long ago, which sounds like an event name to me: https://www3.wipo.int/branddb/en/showData.jsp?ID=EMTM.018365084
They also trademarked this, not sure if related, but just throwing it in here because it looks it could be a new logo or something: https://www3.wipo.int/branddb/en/showData.jsp?ID=EMTM.018355881
They have a lot they haven't shown (Elden Ring, Digimon Survive, Tales of Arise, that one Digimon game they've been working on for 84 years, etc.) and recently acquired Reflector Entertainment, a minority stake in Limbic to develop two new IPs, etc. Also a possible new Sword Art Online game was trademarked recently (Variant Showdown).

It's weird that he considers Elden Ring a "game announcement or World Premiere", considering it was a "world premiere" at their E3 conference 2 years ago
The comments under the tweet really show how very few people have any reading comprehension skills
yeah its easy to generate hype, but when it leads to nowhere it backfires spectacularly
Makes sense. Its always good to temper expectations and be pleasantly surprised as opposed to hyperbolic expectations the assuredly will lead to disappointment. I think any big game announcements will not occur until the summer events.
It isn't that weird when you consider we didn't really see any game.

thanks. Added thread mark.
I really like Aaron Greenberg getting ahead of rumors like these nowadays, not the first time he does it and I appreciate it every time. Helps keep my expectations where they should be, and I end up much happier when something does happen, big or small :)
I feel like the industry as a whole got a lot better at this, too.

the logic in these events is that the first time you show a new trailer it's a world premiere.
Letting hype from rumors go unchecked just leads to disappointment.
Bethesda was always going to be a large-scale news days of blog posts, interviews, maybe a sizzle reel, and Xbox Youtube Videoes.
Anybody expecting a SoP or Direct, in March, were fooling themselves.
The Bethesda Xbox marriage will be a big deal, but not "tune into X day at Y time to see everything" type of things.
Lots of interviews, videos from Phil and Todd, and blog posts.

Insiders presented it with no framing of what the event would be, so people went full pedal to the medal.
Anybody who stepped back from the hype ledge would have seen an event like this with that name and say "Yeah, that's a business thing"
remember when this same guy said that the fable and perfect dark twitter accounts getting reactivated meant nothing but then later on new entries for both games got revealed? lol

Microsoft Says Perfect Dark & Fable Twitter Accounts Aren't For Upcoming Reveals
An Xbox marketing executive denied that two recently discovered Twitter accounts for Perfect Dark & Fable signified any upcoming announcements.

For sure. If anything, such an event MAY have inside looks at new UI enhancements, or prototype features for the Series platform - like the 60FPS boost for titles like Fallout 4. Not content reveals.

đź‘€ Are you talking about the new Story game in development since at least 2018 or is there another Digimon game I'm forgetting?
Yeah the info we got sounded more like a press release for the future of Bethesda and all the other studios.
Then it got called an "event" and everyone started thinking Xbox Direct.

I do believe that the Perfect Dark handle was actually a fan made one though.remember when this same guy said that the fable and perfect dark twitter accounts getting reactivated meant nothing but then a few months later new entries for both games got revealed? lol

Yeah, they let rumors ruin some of their shows that were really solid but people got disappointed because they were expectating too much. So it's good to see them setting the proper expectations.
I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft is holding off until E3, they seem to act like this is really the only place to make game announcements.
Great find Sal. I saw this trademark way back but never cared to post it cause I felt it could be literally anything. Do you have a good idea if 41 is usually whats filed for live events, pre-recorded stuff?Honestly, I think it's more likely Bandai Namco holds their own event soon.

hmm true but then it was a weird mistake for him to make it seem like it was an official account.
Yeah that one. I don't have any inside info about it or anything. I just hope it hasn't been cancelled. It's funny though that Digimon Survive was meant to hold us over until the next Digimon Story, yet here we are nearly three years after its initial announcement and it's still not out.
Ah, no idea, but one of the descriptors is "presentation of live performances," so there's that I guess.
Isn't Digimon Survive that one Digimon game they've been working on for 84 years?
I thought it was weird that big announcements wouldn't have been saved for early June when E3 usually happens. I was Surprised Nintendo didn't hold back Pokemon and Monster Hunter stuff till then as well. I agree some of the press or insiders likes to stir the pot for click and views.
I'll be honest, that sounds a little slight for a media event.
I'd like to believe they're actually a lot closer to completion on that game than people expect but just don't want to steal the spotlight from Survive. That's what my emotions want at least so we'd get it not too far from Survive :(.
Interesting, thanks for this.Honestly, I think it's more likely Bandai Namco holds their own event soon.

Yep. I want them all to do this. But they won't. Except Nintendo.
