Yeah I thought about that but still decided to write what I posted but yeah if it's a game launching in 2021 it would have been announced and shown in the July showcase but you never know. I guess that's my hope/wish coming through my post lol.

Xbox Game Studios Publishing is working on "an exciting new AAA open-world title yet to be announced"
- Thread starter bing
- Start date
- Rumor
The only games that might possibly launch in 2021 that haven't been announced by Xbox already would be Wolfenstein 3 and Starfield. And I think Starfield will launch in 2021.

Ah gotcha. I'm really pumped to find out what this is because publishing projects have this exciting mystery to them since you don't know who's working on it and don't have much expectation. I think for next year Xbox needs to get Halo right and things should fall in place. I'm optimistic.
Well, as the post above yours said, if Wolfenstein 3 and Starfield are launching in 2021 then we could be looking at Halo, Wolf3, Starfield, and maybe Forza Motorsport. Add in smaller games/port like Flight Sim and Psychonaunt 2 and it could be a really good year for Xbox.

I imagine at this point Xbox Game Studios on working on everything more or less across different descriptions. When they arrive is what I want to know.
Dead Rising 3&4 were MS published originally, not sure if they count though.
Rush: A Disney*Pixar Adventure
Disneyland Adventures
Gears of War before MS bought the IP from Epic and created their own studio The Coalition to create more.
'
I can list more if you want.
I wonder if it supports what Dead Rising usually features. Thousands of zombies on screen, open worlds...
You joke but I actually liked CD3 and think there's tons of room to build upon it
Publishing means 2nd party which makes it interesting as there aren't many independent studios capable of making ambitious AAA games. People Can Fly and Techland have both added 2nd teams and Microsoft did visit Poland last year so those are my guesses. Initially people thought Microsoft was over there for aquisitions but since Techland has made it clear they're staying independent while PCF have offered an IPO, more likely were there for partnerships.
It wasn't even fully a joke. I really enjoyed my time with CD3, even though it isn't a masterpiece of a game. And the multiplayer was completely hampered by the cloud tech. If performance and QOL of the multiplayer would've been better, I would have enjoyed it a lot more.
Just, lock on shooting mechanics don't make for a very long lasting multiplayer experience on PC.
Meanwhile the campaign was a fun open world that just lacked some interaction and depth to it. The jumping around felt great.
Wake me up when it's "Xbox Game Studios Publishing is working on an exciting new 2D fighter that may or may not involve things that have an Instinct to Kill".
Seriously, the only thing i want from the publishing side of things is a new Killer Instinct. Throw money at people. Make it happen Phil. Or buy Netherrealm/Iron Galaxy and get them on the case as a first party.

Feels a bit redundant given they are buying a publisher that has some of the largest AAA WRPGs going. It isn't a genre I would have thought they'd need more investment in.
And they take 4 to 5 years now to be developed. It's unlikely they will saturate the market with them.
