Early this morning, Xbox took to the stage at E3 2019 to reveal a tonne of Xbox news, showing off game trailers, new accessories and – you guessed it – their next generation of console.

Microsoft finally unveiled a release date for Ori and the Will of the Wisps, detailing that it’s set for release early next year on February 11, 2020.
Minecraft Dungeons
Microsoft has owned the Minecraft property for a little while now, but haven’t done an awful lot with it.

Spiritfarer
The game “is a cozy management game about dying.” You play as a “ferrymaster to the deceased, build a boat to explore the world, care for your spirit friends, and guide them across mystical seas to finally release them into the afterlife.” It’s coming 2020 to all platforms.
Battletoads
Battletoads was announced last year but it was this year that we finally got a chance to see how the game will look and play. Utilising a highly stylised art direction that calls back to the original games but still seems to be it’s own, the game will support up to three player couch co-op as well as some pretty gnarly boss battles.
The Legend of Wright
It’s coming in 2020 and is an RPG inspired by tabletop games.
ID @ Xbox
A tonne of indie games coming to Game Pass were shown off in a snappy trailer.

Batman Arkham Knight, Metro Exodus, Hollow Knight and the Borderlands Handsome Collection is coming to the Xbox as well.
Microsoft Flight Simulator
Flight Simulator is one of those games that people have always kind of wanted but never really made a splash this generation as much as it did in previous ones. Microsoft today have revealed a brand new Flight Simulator, which will run in 4K and is powered by both real map data and Microsoft’s Azure infrastructure.
Double Fine Productions Is Now An Xbox Studio
Last year, Microsoft expanded their Xbox Game Studios stocks by gobbling up a number of high-profile studios which, based on what we’ve seen so far, has certainly appeared to bear fruit. During their E3 2019 conference, it was announced that Double Fine Productions has become the newest acquisition of Xbox Game Studios.

Halo Infinite
It got a trailer and was confirmed to be a launch title for Xbox Scarlett. Despite the trailer giving off ‘soft reboot’ vibes because it does feel like a breath of fresh air for the series, 343 Industries has been pretty firm about it being a sequel to Halo 5: Guardians which wasn’t received well by fans or critics.
