@Medic_alert I wonder if they'll pick Kyoto, or even somewhwere like Osaka for the city instead? The Horizon games have never really picked major capitals (sorry Edinburgh, I love you but you're not London), however Tokyo is just so iconic that maybe they will?
@themightyant This sounds more like a bridging book. They SPECIFICALLY name dropped Halo: First Strike in the blog post where they dropped that synopsis. Which was the book that directly followed up Halo CE into Halo 2. You could happily play 2 without reading it, but it was pretty cool.
If this book is like that? Then this is a win. If it's a book that ties off all the plot threads of Infinite so that the next game can ignore them, that's bad.
But following up a game with a book isn't intrinsically bad
Best show of the summer, but... Still a bit disappointed. Giving it a B because what was there was pretty much all great, but there was just SO much they didn't show. Where's Eday? Halo? Everwild, State of Decay 3, Spyro so much more.
I think Grounded 2 (I mean. God damn Obsidian they are utterly exempt from my disappointment the utter maniacs), Keeper and BO7 were the only actual Xbox first party new games announcements.

Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From The Future Games Show 'Summer Showcase' 2025
@TheSimulator That's an ironic comment to make when you're the one out of touch about which showcase is being discussed 🤣
