The Xbox Developer Direct featured significant updates on upcoming titles like Doom: The Dark Ages and South of Midnight. A surprise highlight was the reveal of Ninja Gaiden 4, developed by Koei-Tecmo's Team Ninja and PlatinumGames. This iteration introduces a new protagonist, Yakumo, and promises returning players' favorites like Ryu Hayabusa. Meanwhile, South of Midnight showcases a unique stop-motion art style and follows protagonist Hazel, who embarks on a quest influenced by Southern gothic folklore to rescue her mother. The event highlighted not only gameplay but also narratives that resonate with cultural themes.
The showcase was anchored by deep dives into the biggest games coming down the green pipe like Doom: The Dark Ages and Compulsion Games' South of Midnight.
