Following yesterday's announcement of the Xbox Developer Direct on January 22, 2026—kicking off the company's 25th anniversary year—a gaming insider claims a surprise fourth title will join confirmed showcases for Fable, Forza Horizon 6, and Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation.
Xbox's Developer Direct, set for January 22 at 10am PT as detailed in the initial announcement, will offer extended gameplay reveals for the Fable reboot by Playground Games, Forza Horizon 6 (an open-world racer set in Japan, also from Playground), and Beast of Reincarnation—a post-apocalyptic RPG from Pokémon developer Game Freak featuring a girl and her dog.
Building excitement, industry insider VGC's sources reported on social media that a 'secret fourth game' is slated for reveal, though Xbox has not confirmed this. The event continues the format of prior Developer Directs with developer deep dives, no hardware news expected.
This stream highlights Xbox's upcoming exclusives and partnerships amid 25-year anniversary celebrations. Broadcast details are pending.
