Microsoft has confirmed that it will participate in the Gamescom 8 video game exhibition, which is scheduled to be held in Cologne, Germany from August 23 to 27, and emphasized that this year will be a "special year."
As for the emphasis on this year being a "special year", it is unclear whether it is a hint at plans to successfully complete the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, or a hint that Xbox will launch more new games this year, or even announce new hardware news before Sony takes action.
However, Microsoft has not yet disclosed the details of the expected exhibition content, nor has it announced any new game news at that time. This exhibition will be the first time Microsoft has resumed its participation in the Gamescom video game exhibition in a physical form since the epidemic.
In addition to announcing Microsoft's own first-party games, new titles from Bethesda will also be announced. Whether Activision Blizzard will also be revealed will likely depend on how the lawsuit between Microsoft and the Federal Trade Commission is resolved.
In addition to exhibiting during Gamescom 2023, Microsoft will announce new game news through the pre-show event Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 8.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 @Xbox and @bethesda will join us on the showfloor for #gamescom2023! More details soon.
