Xbox and Bethesda – Developer Direct Livestream Announced

If you wouldn’t mind knowing what Xbox and Bethesda have in store for us, you might want to tune in to the upcoming Developer_Direct livestream scheduled for January 25, 2023. Starting at 12pm PT/3pm ET/8pm GMT, the livestream will be taking place on the official Xbox and Bethesda YouTube and Twitch channels.

The livestream will feature presenters from a number of studios, including Arkane Austin and ZeniMax Online Studios, and offer extended gameplay showcases and feature highlights for a number of promising titles. This general livestream will then be followed by a global reveal event for The Elder Scrolls Online where we’ll get an early look at ESO’s next big adventure.

It’s also worth noting that Bethesda’s upcoming sci-fi RPG Starfield will be skipping this event in favor of a standalone show further down the line. Beyond that, it’s not clear if we’ll be getting any new info on the upcoming Obsidian and inXile Entertainment projects or Playground Games’ Fable reboot. I guess, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Here’s what we know for sure at this point:

Xbox and Bethesda will present a Developer_Direct on Wednesday, January 25, providing fans with an inside look at some of the games coming to Xbox, PC and Game Pass over the next few months.

Presented by the game creators themselves from studios including Arkane Austin, Mojang Studios, Turn 10 Studios, and ZeniMax Online Studios, the Developer_Direct will focus on big features, extended gameplay showcases, and the latest info for Xbox games launching in the next few months, including The Elder Scrolls Online, Forza Motorsport, Minecraft Legends, and Redfall.

To dedicate the proper amount of time for a deep dive into Bethesda Game Studios’ Starfield, a standalone show is in the works.
