We already have a comprehensive list of all themajor game events happening in 2021, where we expect to see announcements, reveals, and updates from all kinds of companies and on all manner of video games.
Now, we may have reason to believe that Xbox Game Studios, the first-party collection of studios directly under Xbox, hasn’t revealed everything that’s being released in 2021.
In arecent interview on the Ion Lords Podcast(you can watch the exact part above), Xbox’s Director of Program ManagementJason Ronaldwas asked what game coming this year has him the most hyped. In response, Ronald says, “Not all games that are being released this year have been announced.”
While this response doesn’t explicitly mention upcoming projects from Xbox Game Studios, or even that these games will be Xbox exclusives, it’s still telling when the information comes from an Xbox team lead. Nothing is set in stone yet, but Ronald’s comment has unsurprisingly set alight the fires of speculation once more. Will there be more releases from Xbox Game Studios in 2021 than we already know of?
