Renowned leaker Nate the Hate, also known as NateDrake on Resetera, has shared updates on three highly anticipated Xbox titles: the speculated new Banjo-Kazooie installment, the upcoming project from id Software, and the much-awaited Fable reboot. Recent leaks have stirred discussions within the Xbox community, hinting at possible changes in the platform's game release strategy.
The influx of multi-platform rumors prompted Xbox executives to conduct a special Business Update event to clarify their stance. During the event, Xbox assured fans that while some games would expand to other platforms, they would remain selective in this approach, focusing on titles that have maximized their potential on Xbox. While four games are slated for multi-platform release, their specific identities remain undisclosed. Speculations suggest that these titles could include Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, Grounded, and Hi-Fi Rush.
Despite the expansion to other platforms, Xbox continues to nurture its collection of exclusive titles. NateDrake recently shed light on the progress of some of these exclusives. The rumored Banjo-Kazooie project is undergoing a significant overhaul from its original concept, while there are strong indications that id Software's new game might be unveiled later this year. Additionally, the Fable reboot has been tentatively earmarked for a 2025 release date.
