Windows Central editor Jez Corden first reported on it being a 4X strategy title akin to Civilization which could release for cloud platforms along with PC and Xbox.

As discovered by IdleSloth84, the studio is currently hiring for a Platform Networking Engineer for “a new IP AAA game with a first party publisher” and that “Xbox Live SDK/GDK development experience” would be a bonus. This lends further credence to the title’s existence and in response, Corden tweeted about how it’s been in development “for a few years.”

Furthermore, he feels that “this is one game I expect we *could* see at Microsoft’s ‘E3’ Xbox/Bethesda show.” He also heard that it’s a “fairly large game” and though unsure, it’s possible that it may release for Xbox One. With the ability to stream select Xbox Series X/S titles to the Xbox One, and the title’s rumored cloud integration, it’s not impossible.

The Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase is currently slated for June 12th. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

Jez Corden on Windows Central pointed to two from Xbox Game Studios – Project Indus and Project Cobalt. He first learned about the former back in Spring 2021 and the leak seems to indicate that it’s actually going ahead.

This is essentially a 4X strategy title from Ashes of the Singularity developer Oxide Games. Elements like city-building, diplomacy, warfare, espionage and so on, much like in Civilization, appear to be included. Corden believes that it’s being designed for cloud platforms and smaller screens since Civilization’s turn-based gameplay also works well with in the same environments. It’s reportedly in development for PC (Microsoft Store and Steam) along with Xbox.

Project Cobalt is inXile Entertainment’s next project, which was previously noted to be an FPS/RPG. Reportedly inspired by technology from the Industrial Revolution, it apparently includes Victorian-era streets, retro-futuristic robots, steam engines and zeppelins. Concept artist Aleksander Danilovac shared the above via ArtStation, and Corden believes this to be indicative of the environments that can be expected. Not much is known other than Unreal Engine 5 being the engine and the fact that it won’t be revealed anytime soon.

Take things with a grain of salt though as plans can, and often do, change for projects which are such a long ways off. Nevertheless, it should be interesting to see how they develop over time. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
