When are we expecting news?

[Sonofjafar]

I assume it's all public domain characters. Although I saw Frosty with his design from that one special that I doubt is old enough to be PD.

Yeah but it’s clearly edited animation cycles from other sources. This can’t possible reach the standard of quality nessicary to make consoles

Translation:
> WinC on the "surprise" game from the Xbox Developer Direct: "There's a mysterious 4th game, our sources indicate that it's a new entry in a legendary Japanese IP that has decades of history, and it will make many happy."

It’s probably not KH4 since Kingdom Hearts only has two decades of history. Maybe Dragon Quest 12?

apparently it's unannounced game so it rules out games like KH4 and DQXII

I wonder if it's a new IP or a sequel/remake/reboot of another old one like Parasite Eve for example.

Edit: Nevermind I'm kinda slow . I just realized this is the Xbox Direct and not the rumored Square Enix showcase.

Banjo Threeie?!

Banjo Threeie?!

Heck of a stretch to describe B-K as a Japanese franchise. The creators are British & they're currently owned by the American Microsoft. Plus, if Rare's not the ones making a Banjo game, the next most likely candidates would be Playtonic & after that a handful of mostly western indie devs that have done their own 3D platformers who might take on such a project.

Ninja Gaiden seems to be the popular opinion. A new 3D entry to go alongside the recently announced 2D revival. & the series always had an affiliation with the XBox brand. Personally, I'm holding out fleeting hope for KH Warriors.

I forgot about the Japanese developer part.

Switch 2 finally officially announced





Direct on April 2nd so I could see KH stuff showing up here.... hopefully.

 

[olu]

lol fat chance

fingers crossed tho

 

[Darkspawn]

There’s a hands on experience tour that seems to go thru early June, with a couple TBD dates. So guessing it won’t launch until June at the earliest.

Since they didn’t give a release date, I guess third party companies still can’t reveal when their games are releasing if they are launching on this platform…

 

[xenosaga]

At least companies should start officially announcing Switch 2 games. They can just put 2025 date since that is officially out lol.

 

[olu]

true. it'll be nice seeing the NS2 logo beside the PS5 and XBSX ones

 

[Megavoltage]

I’m glad they finally showed it. Not just because I’m interested in buying, but because the constant ‘leaker’ drama was obnoxious and tired. We can move on!

The reason Kingdom Hearts has been so silent recently is because they were waiting for the Switch 2 since they’re planning to release its games on it, right? And now that it’s finally been revealed, can we get some Kingdom Hearts news? Please?!

 

[Darkspawn]

Yeah given their recent marketing trends, the timing lines up that SE could start announcing more of their games coming Q3/4 this year in the next month or so. Then do release date reveals between April-June after the console launch date is confirmed.

Nate the Hate is also saying there will be a State of Play in February. Which tracks as we had one late January this year. Maybe we’ll get something from SE there if they aren’t doing their own show.

So how long until we get more KH4 and Missing Link News?

 

[Chaser]

Just waiting for the news that Square Enix had wasted the last four years developing a live service Kingdom Hearts game that’s been cancelled.

I’m just in shock Sony tried to make Bluepoint do that to God of War. What an absolutely stupid decision.

Oh you heard about the UX live service remake too, didn’t you?

 

[xenosaga]

They just need good liveservice games and I will be 100% on board.
I would only dream of KH gacha games in the quality of Hoyoverse stuff or recent high production gachga games like WuWa, etc.

New system, Xbox direct next week, state of play in Feb...
