Although we don’t know exactly what to expect from the showcase this year, Microsoft has been pretty clear that the event will feature new games as well as updates on AAA titles. Considering that Xbox has a variety of different major exclusive titles that have been in the works for years, this could mean we may end up seeing the likes of of Obsidian Entertainment’s The Outer Worlds 2 and Rare’s Everwild. There’s also a long list of other surprises Xbox could have in store for us.

The other huge game fans are expecting to see more of is Fable 4. After Xbox posted a video featuring glitter trails, it’s likely that we will be getting a decent update about the game at the show. This would be the first we’ve seen of Fable since 3 years ago when the title was first announced.
