While we've been treated to drip-feeds of information around a few of these new games – Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga being the standout, with Ninja Theory being fairly open about its development journey – most remain shrouded in secrecy. The thing is, it's easy to forget that there are over 10 upcoming Xbox Series X games confirmed to be in development from the Xbox Games Studios division, and that first-party developers like The Coalition, Compulsion Games, id Software, inXile Entertainment, and Roundhouse Studios are yet to reveal what they have cooking behind the scenes. It's easy to understand why this story has taken hold in the public consciousness – it emerged during a tumultuous time for the Xbox One, and has continued to circulate into the Xbox Series X era thanks to some surprisingly dry release windows (I'm looking at you, 2022). If there's one narrative that Microsoft Gaming is unable to shake, it's that the Xbox platform has no games.
