We already saw some nifty announcements come out of the latest Xbox Developer_Direct, including a deep dive into Fable's open world and writing, but the event also gave us a look at Beast of Reincarnation, which is an upcoming Souls-like RPG in development at Game Freak and being published by Fictions. The game will be Game Freak's first AAA game other than the Pokémon series, and it is being developed in Unreal Engine 5. According to the announcement and gameplay overview video, Beast of Reincarnation is slated to launch in "summer 2026," suggesting a launch date sometime between June and August.

Beast of Reincarnation is a Souls-like RPG set in a futuristic post-apocalyptic Japan that follows the story of an exiled woman, Emma, and her wolf companion, Koo, as they try to survive and find their place as outcasts in a blight-stricken ruins of human civilization. It is an exclusively single-player experience, and Game Freak says it will be built around "demanding, technical combat," that sees players use both Emma's fast-paced swordplay and Koo's abilities that players can call on in order to fend off monstrous beasts and robotic foes. Game Freak also showed off some of the traversal and the synergy between traversal and Emma's powers, which are rooted in her ability to absorb the blight and lock it away inside her body, also teasing a close relationship between the protagonist and the natural world. Beast of Reincarnation will launch simultaneously on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. The game already has a Steam page where you can wishlist it, but pre-orders are not yet available, and there is no other information to be gleaned from it than has already been revealed in the Developer_Direct.

Introducing the all-new Xbox Wireless Controllers - Fallout Pip-Boy and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 - Fallout Pip-Boy. Vault Dwellers have few options at their disposal to survive against the post nuclear landscape, but thankfully Vault-Tec has provided one S.P.E.C.I.A.L. tool, the Pip-Boy! While the first Fallout designed controllers were focused on Vault Boy and all his different incarnations, we wanted Fallout fans to be able to gear up with the same tech that their characters use. The Xbox controller designs replicate that warm green hue that emits from your own personal Pip-Boy, with instantly recognizable game HUD icons to match.

The Xbox Wireless Controller - Fallout Pip-Boy is available for pre-order, for a limited time, at Microsoft Store. For those looking to create their own unique design, both Xbox Wireless Controller and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 are available now with Xbox Design Lab.

The team at Chaos Manufacturing is thrilled to announce our debut game: Sol Shogunate—what we call a "samurai space opera." So, what does that mean? Sol Shogunate is a single-player third-person action RPG where you play as the ultimate samurai in an alt-future setting that pays homage to the majesty of feudal Japanese tradition. The "space opera" part has two meanings. Space opera is a sci-fi subgenre that speaks to sci-fi universes filled with drama and adventure. But it's also a nod to the strong musical component that is at the core of our game. We're marrying combat, story, and music into an experience that we hope players will remember long after the credits roll.

A Lone Ronin Against the Sol Shogunate
In Sol Shogunate, players step into the role of Yuzuki, the last surviving heir of a once-powerful samurai family. Following her family's massacre, she's on a bloody quest for vengeance. Her story becomes far more than a personal vendetta, however, as she unearths the buried histories and lies underpinning the powerful shogunate that dominates the solar system.

Out today on PC and Xbox, Routine is a sci-fi horror game built around a 1980s vision of the future that takes place on our moon. Routine was made with a particular kind of game experience in mind for players, so we'd love to take this opportunity to talk about a few key elements that form the foundation of its art and design.

Relatable Science Fiction
When we started making Routine, we realised that creating a sci-fi world can sometimes conflict with immersion and horror. That is mainly because it is surprisingly easy to fall into the trap of building fantastical environments that end up losing a sense of relatability. We didn't let that stop us from exploring more creative ideas, but it did force us to think carefully about what actually needed to be redesigned, and what didn't.

French developer and publisher DON'T NOD has presented a new trailer for Aphelion, its upcoming cinematic third-person action-adventure game launching in 2026, at the ID@Xbox Showcase. The trailer reveals Ariane's fellow astronaut Thomas Cross as a playable character, and showcases brand-new stealth sequences, the never-before-seen alien antagonist, new environments, and the in-game spacesuit patch designed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA).

Aphelion is a sci-fi action-adventure on the edge of the solar system. In the shoes of ESA astronauts Ariane and Thomas, players will explore and survey the uncharted planet Persephone and solve the mystery of the crash, all while trying to survive in the terrifying presence of an unknown enemy.

Recently, after ASUS launched the ROG Xbox Ally series and rumors popped up about Xbox potentially abandoning its long line of first-party console designs, Xbox president, Sarah Bond clarified that Microsoft is "100% looking at making things in the future," and commented that next-gen hardware is in development, although her words seem to have been carefully chosen, seemingly to avoid making any concrete proclamations about the next-gen gaming console before everything was finalized. In a recent interview with Famitsu, however, head of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer, confirmed that the next-generation Xbox would be Xbox's in-house design.

In the interview, when asked about what comes after the Xbox Series X|S, Spencer responded that, while the ASUS ROG Ally would be the next Xbox hardware launch, the next first-party hardware launch out of Microsoft would be the next-gen Xbox. Not only does this confirm that the next-gen Xbox will still be an in-house design, but it suggests that there will be no first-party Xbox-branded handheld gaming PCs until at least 2027, when the next-gen Xbox is expected to launch. Conveniently, this doesn't discount any potential successors to the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally before that date. Previous rumors indicated that Microsoft was developing an in-house gaming handheld, only to later offload that engineering effort onto ASUS. While there has been no word on whether Xbox is planning another handheld console to align with the next-gen console launch, Sony looks to be developing both handheld and home console systems, each with its own APU co-developed by AMD.
