Many PS4 and Xbox one games are in development right now and every consoles are to be identifies by their Exclusive titles.
Here are 12 of the most exciting upcoming Xbox One games you won’t find on any other platform.
Another long-running Xbox exclusive series is Fable. While designer Peter Molyneux has a long history of promising more features than he delivers, his Fable games have always been a lot of fun. Typical to the fantasy genre, in these games you start as a nobody and work your way up to being a major celebrity by doing either heroic or villainous things, depending on the choices you make as you play.
Fable Legends is set in the same fantasy world of Albion, but it’s a different sort of game from its predecessors. Instead of a single-player action role-playing game, the developer calls Legends a “multiplayer online quest adventure game.” To cut through the jargon, four players (or AI-controlled characters) will act as heroes in the game, while a fifth player takes the role of the villain. The villain’s job is to set up the quest, deploy the enemies, and trigger traps as the heroes play. It sounds kind of like a dungeon master in a game of Dungeons & Dragons, which could work out very well on Xbox One
If you’re wondering just how ambitious Xbox One developers are, wonder no more. Quantum Break, by the makers of Max Payne and Alan Wake, is a third-person shooter that’s being made alongside a live-action television series. You’ll play a section of the game, then watch an episode of the show, then lather, rinse, and repeat. Some of the scenes in the episodes presented to you, however, will depend on the choices you make in the game.
While this isn’t the first video game to have a TV show tie-in, the way the two interact here sounds very interesting. Don’t expect innumerable branching pathways, because then they’d have to film an ever-expanding set of alternate scenes. But if this multimedia project coalesces into a powerful whole, it could turn out to be a very interesting project. Look for Quantum Break sometime in the middle of next year.
After making four Gears of War titles for Xbox 360, developer Epic Games has moved on from the franchise, leaving Microsoft to do whatever it wants with it. And with a series as well known as Gears of War, you don’t just let it sit around unused. Microsoft has trusted The Coalition (formerly Black Tusk Studios) to make a new Gears installment for Xbox One.
We know very little about the game, but we do know that it’s in development, and that Microsoft considers it one of the premier Xbox franchises. Watch the gameplay video above to get a look at what to expect.
Developed by Platinum Games, the makers of such excellent action games as Bayonetta 2 and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Scalebound looks like a fantasy game of epic proportions. You play as an adventurer who travels to a distant world full of enormous monsters. Luckily for you, you soon befriend a dragon who helps you take on these vicious beasts.
Really, that’s about all we know so far about the game, but the trailer looks suitably grand. If the game is anything like that (or like the excellent titles Platinum has made in the past), it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on.
Here are 12 of the most exciting upcoming Xbox One games you won’t find on any other platform.
1. Halo 5: Guardians
Release Date: October 27, 2015
Coming late next year is the next major episode in what is arguably the most beloved first-person shooter series of all time. The Halo franchise is nearly synonymous with Xbox, so Halo 5: Guardians is a huge deal for Microsoft. Developer 343 Industries is taking its time with the game, not rushing to get it out before it’s ready, or to bolster sales of the Xbox One hardware.
2. Fable Legends
