Xbox Has 'Quite A Few' Games Still To Announce For 2021, Says DICE Dev

Forza Horizon 5 is touted and likely.
I'm just hoping that come the spring there'll be enough Series X models out there that I can finally get my hands on one. Hard for me to get excited about games until I can finally get the console to play them on.

These articles crack me up. "We are here to bring you the news that there will be more news in 2021." 😋

That is a good point had Halo dropped 2020 then what was for 2021 fall.
I guess S sacrifice and Forza if they can release those with Halo 2021 should be a good end of year.

Hell yeah, This has me excited. I thought 2021 was pretty much already drawn up.. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us this year..

Project Diva coming to xbox. Now that would be a very welcome surprise!

@Nic-Noc20th-C there's already lots of diva's on all platforms, don't know if we really need more! Jokes aside what is this game about?

I hope to hear what's coming as even though I don't own a PS5 at the moment I've got a rough idea what's coming and same for my Switch but for Xbox part from Halo and console version of Flight Sim what's coming?

I don't like surprises, tell me now please. My wallet isn't able to buy all games. I need to know which games I'll be getting. Halo Infinite is number 1.

@masofdas No offense, but there's been plenty of articles (even just recently) saying what's coming over the course of the year. At least planned releases since obviously there could be delays. The Medium at the end of this month, Scorn, The Ascent, Psychonauts 2, Hitman 3 next week, Stalker 2, and Bright Memory Infinite are just some that come to mind without looking. Not a ton of what you would call "heavy hitters", but still a solid group.

@KilloWertz

Am excited for The Medium I should have said I knew about that one but

I've not seen much mate beyond that, and I do frequent here and the two sister sites Push Square and Nintendo Life again that's how I know along with other places Returnal is March for PS5 and Pokémon Snap is April for Switch.

@pip_muzz isn’t forza motorsport 8 already announced? Would assume that is next.
Even with COVID delays you have to think MS have something up there sleeve after a lot of accusations of no big first party games.

@elpardo1984 Forza 8 was announced yes, but rumours are the game will slip into 2022 and that Playground Games have an unannounced Horizon 5 ahead of it.
Annoying, as I absolutely love Horizon but really wanted a new Motorsport game in the franchise.

@pip_muzz hadn’t seen that. I’d prefer a motorsport as I’m a recent return to Xbox so still have Horizon 4 to play.

@pip_muzz I figured if any of the no release year games in the July event were 2021 they'd have said 2021 instead of no release year. So Motorsport 2022, Horizon 2023 seemed most likely. Maybe fill in the 2021 gaps with stuff like a Marcus Fenix collection given Xbox 360 seems to be on its way out?

Forza Horizon 5 & Starfield would be my guesses.

Mech warrior, with destructible mechs and environment
MDK remake
Destruction derby
ESPN nfl2k
Project Gotham racing
😆😆😆😆
C'mon, any other nonsense?

I think I'd read somewhere that MW5 is being brought forward to console. Unsure of any other details, but as someone who enjoyed MW2 when it originally came out, this would be great!!!

@JGRockford yes mech warrior 5 is hitting xbox excluslivy (no idea if timed or not due to how the license works) I think this spring

Ah cool cool
Exciting!

I'm sure there will be some surprises. I don't know if many will be 1st party and AAA, but with all the new Zenimax studio's, its possible they have some unannounced games that could release in 2021. As we saw with Ninja Theory and Obsidian, there could be another Bleeding Edge or Grounded type release from a studio we know to be working on something 'bigger'.

There could be 3rd party games that MS has 'acquired' exclusivity for too and I would think that the Developer maybe more aware of other developers/studio's that have secured a publishing deal with Microsoft.

FFVIIremake
FFXIV gamepass

Forza Horizon 5

Zenimax and its subsidiaries like to announce games not too long before they're set to release, so it's possible Wolfenstein III could be announced for a late 2021 release.

On the "it'll never happen" side of things: Microsoft, bring back Midtown Madness.
