Xbox Games Showcase is 2 Hours Long, Microsoft Exec Says Not to “Overhype Too Much”

The Xbox Games Showcase is less than half an hour away and will see Microsoft outlining upcoming titles from its first-party studios and third-party partners. It will also feature a dedicated Direct for Obsidian Entertainment’s The Outer Worlds 2.

Thanks to Aaron Greenberg, VP for Games Marketing at Microsoft, we now know that the show will last for two hours, similar to last year. There are plenty of rumors about which games could appear, but while responding to a Twitter user excited about the show, Greenberg said, “Looking forward to the show, just don’t overhype it too much. We sort of burned the house down last year!”

This doesn’t necessarily mean that it won’t be a worthwhile showcase, especially with titles like Persona 4 Remake, Everwild, State of Decay 3, and more rumored to appear. And, of course, there’s the ever-present hope of a Hollow Knight: Silksong announcement.

The Xbox Games Showcase and The Outer Worlds 2 Direct go live at 10 AM PDT. Obsidian’s sci-fi RPG is rumored to receive a release date during the Direct alongside new gameplay so stay tuned for details.
