"Today, January 22, Xbox held another one of its Developer Direct showcases. These streams show off a handful of games, usually from Xbox's first-party studios or partners, and this time we got our first look at Fable, a deep dive into the next game in the Forza Horizon series, and a big reveal of the new project from Game Freak, the studio behind the mainline Pokémon RPGs. If you missed the stream, you can catch the VOD below, but if you just want the highlights, read on."
"First up, Playground Games and Turn 10 showed off Forza Horizon 6, the next entry in the open-world racing series. This game will take place in Japan, with players working their way up a racing tournament, starting as a tourist racer and eventually going pro. The game will let you drive around Japanese cities and through the mountains and roads of the countryside, and will include 550 cars at launch."
"Next up, we saw Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation, and it is still jarring to see that company's logo in an Xbox showcase, but here we are. The action RPG does have some of the Pokémon developer's trademark human and animal companionship, though, as the game stars both a samurai heroine named Emma and her wolf companion Koo who fights alongside her. Beast of Reincarnation takes place in a post-apocalyptic Japan that sports a combination of fantasy and sci-fi aesthetics. Emma hunts corrupted monsters alongside Koo in what looks like a pretty fast-paced hack-and-slash action game with some strategic elements, which come through in the commands you issue to your wolf friend to have him use his own abilities in battle. The game will launch in the summer."
Xbox showcased several upcoming games and previews. Forza Horizon 6 is set in Japan and centers on progressing through a racing tournament from tourist racer to professional. The open world spans cities, mountains, and countryside roads and will include 550 cars at launch. Players can build bases that other users can visit, meet up to show cars, and engage in impromptu races. Forza Horizon 6 launches May 19 on PC and Xbox, with a PS5 version arriving later in the year. Game Freak’s Beast of Reincarnation stars samurai heroine Emma and her wolf Koo in a post-apocalyptic Japan, blending fantasy and sci-fi aesthetics with hack-and-slash combat and strategic companion commands; it releases in summer. A first look at Fable was also shown.
