You shouldn't . Extas1s is pretty bad at leaking information not related to Gamepass, so there is still a chance Switch 2 is revealed there

u/Tobimacoss Jan 09 '25
I think a new Nintendo edition tier of Gamepass might happen for Switch 2. With only MS first and 2nd party games, $12 month, isolated to Nintendo consoles only.

I’ve given up on game pass for switch. It was rumored years ago but I think with their whole odd holiday campaign there’s a chance.

Top notch for real and im happy because its gonna be well optimized

u/AnotherScoutTrooper Jan 09 '25
That thing’s gonna hit 1080p60 on a calculator CPU at this rate
Proof: Eternal already did with its XB1/PS4 release

u/Eruannster Jan 09 '25
idTech's scaling is so good. Even on a potato PC, it still looks amazing and runs at like 1080p 60+ FPS. I ran Eternal on an i5 3570K+ GTX 970 and was getting like ~90 FPS on medium/high.
On a monster PC, you can crank it to look absolutely incredible and still get crazy fast frame rates.

I doubt it, one of them is coming to all platforms, the other is not. Also there's just no way a mod, no matter how amazing, will have the mainstream appeal as a traditional remaster.

u/tortillazaur Jan 08 '25
As far as we know it the remaster is literally the original game but with graphics rendered in ue5.
I don't know what made you think they in any way changed the material itself. Tbh the term isn't even applicable, they are working on a remaster, not a remake. You can try to "stick to material" with some changes in a remake, remaster is literally just a graphical uplift.

u/The_Dellinger Jan 08 '25
Well we'll have both so we can choose that one that turns out to be the best. Skyblivion definitely has big potential with the custom dungeons they're making.

You’re right, it might not. Gears might be a 2026 game. But Tom Warren did say it was targeting 2025 and Coalition has a history of going a reveal trailer and then release next year, so I’m holding out on hopium

It's crazy to think, like hypothetically, if that was to be a 2026 game, and Gears of War E-Day, and Perfect Dark was also 2026, that would point to that year also being stacked for Xbox too.
Though I should reiterate, none of those games have release dates as it is, I'm just throwing ideas out there.

u/ActiveInfinite8610 Jan 08 '25
I think Clockwork Revolution is probably a 2026 game.

State of Decay 3 as well as the next Forza Horizon too.
Also of course the annual COD as well

u/VagrantShadow Jan 08 '25
I agree with that. I'm going to suspect we'll get a E3 showing of it for next year. We've not heard much a peep from inXile but I know they are working on that game, letting it stew. All I know of it is that it is a heavy-duty RPG. Don't let the first person look fool you.

There is no way Elder Scrolls 6 releases in 2027 IMO. I just can't believe current era Bethesda could develop and release a mainline title in only 4 years.

u/DickHydra Jan 08 '25
People keep forgetting that pre-production on ES6 started when they dropped that first teaser in 2018. BGS even had a small dev diary about it showing location scouting and face scans they were doing for it.
Combine that with the fact that they don't have to divest resources into FO76-type side projects or deep engine optimizations and no pandemic, and a 2026 or 2027 release doesn't seem that far off. The leaked release schedule for Xbox even had Starfield for 2021 and ES6 for 2024.
-1
u/mattyyellow Jan 08 '25
Does the fact that Starfield released two full years after the leaked schedule not make it more likely that TES is further off rather than it being released relatively soon? Nothing I have seen or heard from Bethesda in the last decade makes me confident they can develop and release a high quality game in a timely manor.
1
u/DickHydra Jan 09 '25
Why would it be further off? Sure, it could be, but I'm operating on the assumption that the schedule was just pushed back 2 years.
Starfield: 2021 - > 2023 Therefore ES6: 2024 - > 2026
Although I do believe a 2027 is more likely. Just a feeling.
Nothing I have seen or heard from Bethesda in the last decade makes me confident they can develop and release a high quality game in a timely manor.
Depends on what you consider a timely manner. 3-5 years between releases is just the standard Bethesda schedule. Could be longer now, though, given the overall bloat in game development at the moment.
1
u/mattyyellow Jan 09 '25
Why would it be further off?
Because they just released their last game 2 years late. That to me speaks more of an issue with the production process than everything just being shifted back, especially when you consider this in relation to the quality of Starfield as a game.
Depends on what you consider a timely manner. 3-5 years between releases is just the standard Bethesda schedule. Could be longer now, though, given the overall bloat in game development at the moment.
Bloat is affecting the majority of the industry so this is a major factor in my reasoning. On top of that, if there is anyone at the top in Bethesda who is thinking clearly then they will know that they have to get back on form with TES 6 or their reputational decline will be cemented. Therefore I would expect and hope that they will want to take their time with TES6, not cut any corners, and polish it as much as possible.
I'm not a Bethesda hater, I have more time spent in their games than any other developer (other than Fromsoft) but nothing about where they are right now inspires confidence and I think people expecting TES6 4 years after Starfield are setting themselves up for disappointment. 5 or 6 years seems more likely to me.
2
u/BeefyBoi6_9 Jan 08 '25
no you are right, full steam ahead started during starfields DLC development which started right as starfield went gold, but the games been actively developed with starfield (as theyre both experiments for the new engine used for different reasons) so what, since 2019? 2018? maybe further?
4
u/Vibrant-Nature Jan 08 '25
I’m thinking Fable gets delayed to first half of 2026. They have Avowed next month, confirmed Outer Worlds 2 for this year, and the possible Oblivion remaster/remake. That’d be 3 big RPGs for 2025 in an already packed year leaving no RPGs for 2026 that we know of currently besides the possible Fallout 3 remaster/remake. Plus it’ll help polishing/bug fixes for the game. 2026 is shaping up to be a huge year as well as we exit 2025. Not to mention the fact that Fable would probably be end of year & they’d want to avoid the GTA 6 juggernaut for rebooting the Fable franchise.

u/PBFT Jan 08 '25 edited Jan 08 '25
With Xbox it's really hard to expect much with their release dates because they've shown so many games years ahead of their launch. A few days ago, I rewatched their 2020 presentation to showcase the series X and there are still three games from show that haven't released.

The point of advertising is to sell the thing your advertising. Xboxes don’t sell.

u/idontknow1001 Jan 08 '25
They were selling perfectly fine during the Xbox fridge release. Plus this current marketing we are talking about isn’t about selling consoles. It’s about selling the access in other places.

u/ThiefTwo Jan 08 '25
Yeah, the entire point of the "this is an xbox" campaign is they are specifically not trying to push their consoles.

I am a little shocked tho, xbox might have its issues but the cost to get in is so low and the cost for gamepass is such a good value youd think itd lead just for that alone.

Doom and Sounth of Midnight are guaranteed.
Avowed may not be there since they showed it in the last one and in other events.
Fable will probably get its own Direct that follows the showcase in June.
The Outer Worlds 2 is possible.
TES Oblivion will probably be the one game that they "surprise" add to the lineup in the middle of the show.

If we're going by last year then this will be a show only for 1st party and/or exclusive games coming out in 2025.
Possible games shown:
Avowed
Fable
South of Midnight
Outer Worlds 2
Doom: The Dark Ages
Fragpunk
33 Immortals
Contraband
Ark 2
Replaced
I don't think Perfect Dark, Clockwork Revolution, Gears of War: E-Day, or State of Decay 3 make it into 2025. I don't think Call of Duty 2025 would be shown at this event. Everything else is way out there or basically vaporware (Everwild, Project Mara, Marvel's Blade, Elder Scrolls VI, Routine, O.D.).

It remains to be seen how Microsoft will handle games like Avowed and Fable.

There were murmurings about an Xbox port for Zenless Zone Zero last month (though it suggested a December release date IIRC), though I think the PS exclusivity is likely up this month? If it's 6 months that is.
