The Doom Slayer ventures through a medieval world, armed with a double-barreled shotgun, shield and flail to smite demons.
Following on from a feature we ran some six years ago, here’s another round of fails Microsoft has made – mostly in this current console generation.
Ahead of the June 9th showcase, Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb reports, "At least a handful of those are games we haven't heard of before."
A road worth journeying?
"Special episodes" of the Official Xbox Podcast will offer updates and deep dives starting June 10th till the end of the week.
That's up from 17 million players as of December, with the game having enjoyed a significant boost thanks to the Amazon Prime show's success.
The open world co-op shooter has received its final update, with developer Arkane Austin having recently closed its doors.
Fallout 76 also jumped from 159th place in March to eighth in April, with both titles ranking in the top five most-played Steam titles.
A prominent leaker has claimed that the rumoured new DOOM game will be announced at the Xbox Games Showcase as a fully multiplatform title.
Developed for almost four years under the placeholder name "DOOM Year Zero," it allegedly occurs in a "medieval-inspired Doom world."
The sci-fi RPG's recent update was a significant one, adding plenty of long-requested new features and fixes.
Details are scarce, but Epic Games has confirmed that the battle royale title is getting a Fallout crossover.
Game Update 4 will also revamp the Nest system and add pausing during single-player with additional details coming "soon."
It adds improved surface maps, new display settings for Xbox Series X players, additional gameplay options, ship decoration and more.
This comes shortly after Microsoft's FTC court case documents revealed a project named DOOM Year Zero being in the works at id Software.
The update allows for choosing 30, 40 or 60 FPS and prioritizing either visuals or performance. It also re-enables Auto HDR on Xbox Series X/S.
The update also includes "further fixes and improvements", potentially addressing issues introduced with the Next-Gen Update.
In addition to Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and Fallout: New Vegas also saw similar spikes in sales thanks to the recent release of Fallout's TV adaptation.
Fallout 76's upcoming Skyline Valley update is adding new areas, quests, and weapons to the live service release - and it will be releasing sometime in June.
Wolfenstein: The New Order is almost 10 years old at this point, but it continues to remain an exhilarating ride through and through.
