Microsoft Hints at Fan Event Before 2016 Ends

Phil Spencer says "we'll have things to say this Fall."

Microsoft won’t be holding a conference at this year’s Gamescom like it did in 2015, which means we probably won’t have any high profile reveals like that time. Nonetheless, Xbox boss Phil Spencer isn’t discounting the fact that the company has things to say before the year.

Spencer told a fan on Twitter that, “I’ll miss Gamescom but @aarongreenberg will be there. We will have things to say this Fall, we’ll find the right times.”

This seems to indicate a fan event of sorts, perhaps like Sony’s PlayStation Experience. Spencer also said that, “I want to visit some fans I haven’t visited before and we have some things to say before end of 2016 so we’ll find the times.”

It’s possible that the event takes place after the biggest exclusives drop by October, thus allowing the company to hype up what’s coming next year (like Halo Wars 2 in February 2017). Would you like to see a Microsoft fan event before the year closes out? Let us know in the comments.
