Xbox Game Studios has already revealed that the likes of Double Fine's Psychonauts 2 and 343 Industries' Halo Infinite are on the way in 2021, but apparently there are more "surprises" on the way as well.
According to Jerret West, CVP of Microsoft Gaming, Xbox's first-party division has yet to announce its entire slate for 2021, and various current Xbox Game Studios titles will be getting new content next year too.
"From Xbox Game Studios, 2021 will see the Master Chief’s return in Halo Infinite, a new brain-bending odyssey in Psychonauts 2, and some surprises we haven’t announced yet.
Your favorite games will also continue to grow with you, with 30 pieces of new content coming to several of our franchises next half, including Forza, Sea of Thieves, Grounded and much more. Looking further ahead, you will also hear more from teams across Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda."
It remains to be seen what these games are, but it's been speculated that Microsoft might unveil one-or-two of them at The Game Awards this week, so hopefully it won't be too long until we find out some more details.
Any guesses as to what these unannounced surprises might be? Give us your thoughts down below.

Well yes, with the amount of studios now under the MS umbrella (and I'm not counting the Bethesda studios) I'd like to think there are more than 2 games being published in a calendar year.
New Battletoads DLC and online co-op!! Seriously I'd like to play it online co-op...just shadow drop it though vs. game awards announcement
Hell yeah, can't wait to hear what they're working on..
@Only1PJA I remember reading somewhere that there goal was one a quarter. Not sure how soon that would be though.
Hhmm wonder if this is the rumoured studio acquisiton with the game reveal set for the Vgas
A new Timesplitters, Turok or Shadowman game, for the love of God man just do it...
I would hope so. Great that they're confirming it, though.

I know its not going to be for awhile yet but come on fable
I just want to know what The Initiative is working on.

You have no reason to turn on your XSX? Really? 🙄
Edit - spelling.
One of these has got to be Microsoft Flight Simulator for console. Surely!
Didn't they unveil the design of the Series X last year at the game awards? So yeah i can see them releasing and showing some news and game footage.
To be fair there are some inklings for next year and some things people seem to have forgotten about. We know the big focus now will be The Medium, which Blooper Team has a pretty good track record on the horror department. Flight Sim for Console hasn’t been dated, but I feel like thats a pretty big announcement. The dark horse title “The Gunk” is slated for September (Steamworld Devs are hardly “unknowns”), and Halo is the big holiday game. I think if they had one big summer game and a few second tier games that would balance it out.
@mousieone
I could see a Forza Horizon 5 announcement too. But with Halo Infinite getting pushed back to the fall of 2021......not so sure anymore.
@FraserG
I agree! They need to announce it for console soon to take advantage of all of the positive press & reviews of the PC version.
Plus if there is ever a game to show off the power of the console......well here ya go. 👍🏻
All I want is a new Forza, that would be a real system seller for me on the Series X.
Honestly if they have "surprises they haven't announced yet" that launch in 2021 they should announce some of them. We're in console launch window and promise of exclusives DOES matter to some people.
