Previously announced titles like Contra: Operation Galuga and Penny’s Big Breakaway are still yet to receive an official release date, Ubisoft assured fans there would be āmore newsā for the Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition at the start of this year too, following an accidental reveal of the game in November 2023 and thereās always the chance Hollow Knight: Silksong might put in an appearance after it was delayed from the first half of 2023 to a new undisclosed launch window.
Fans might also get a first look at the rumoured Switch version of Hi-Fi Rush.
Previously exclusive to Xbox consoles and PC, it was confirmed earlier this month that Microsoft was looking to bring a handful of games to ārivalā consoles as an experiment. Those games include Pentiment, Sea of Thieves and Grounded but thereās no word on when the roll-out will begin or which consoles will be targeted.
Talking about his reasoning, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said: āIām going to learn about our partnership with other platforms. Iām going to learn about what happens with our players. I think it will benefit the games that weāre putting there [but] if the net result is that other things are punitive to the Xbox platform and try to limit our growth, then weāll have to think more carefully about how we support those other platforms.ā
In other news, a PokĆ©mon Direct has been announced for February 27 with the promise of āexciting newsā in store.
