Xbox Teases Unannounced Games That Will Launch This Year
Microsoft already let the cat out of the bag on many Xbox titles coming in 2021, so fans thought they knew exactly what to expect this year. As it turns out, there's still more to come. In a recent interview, an Xbox employee teased that some 2021 Xbox games have yet to be announced. He didn't provide too many details, of course, but this tiny teaser was enough to spark excitement in the Xbox community.
Microsoft released its new Xbox Series X|S consoles alongside Sony's PlayStation 5 in November. The high-tech system boasted impressive specs, such as 4K video capabilities, and backwards compatibility with older Xbox titles, but launch day came and went with a serious lack in new Xbox exclusive games. However, Microsoft did make it clear that it had plenty of titles up its sleeve for 2021, including the highly-anticipated Halo Infinite. There's also a pretty decent roster of indie titles coming exclusively to Xbox this year. According to this latest tease, gamers still don't have the full picture of Xbox games in store for 2021.
The tease came from none other than Xbox's Director of Program Management, Jason Ronald. During an appearance on the most recent Iron Lords podcast, Ronald was asked which Xbox 2021 title he was most excited for. In response, he said, "Not all games that are releasing this year have been announced yet." The details ended there, but this certainly seems to imply that Microsoft has even more exciting stuff planned. Unfortunately, we may not hear anything from Xbox this month, as the gaming giant already shut down rumors of any March Xbox showcases.
As WCCFTech reported, fans have already started guessing what these unannounced Xbox titles could be, and most of the guesses are pretty major. For one thing, people are hoping for another installment in the Wolfenstein franchise from Bethesda. The last game in the series arrived in 2019. Another potential unannounced title is Forza Horizon 5. Although there have been no official leaks related to the racing game, GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb alleged back in November that Playground Games is close to a Forza Horizon 5 release.
We're only three months into 2021, so there's no telling when we'll hear about these mysterious unannounced titles. However, the fact that Ronald teased the upcoming games seems to be a good sign. The announcements and game releases could come at any time, so fans should keep their eyes out. In the meantime, there's plenty of known Xbox game releases to look forward to in 2021.
