Every game that comes out of this company is unique in one way or another, be it gameplay or storytelling. That’s why, whenever the company teases something, everyone pays attention, and it appears its Twitter account is teasing something indeed.

Stray was a very special game. Fans were blown away by two things: its visuals and its ability to present players with a protagonist that they instantly cared for. In terms of narrative, it offered players a character in a dilemma and asked them to find a solution. All this turned this beautiful game into an instant success. This quick game, which was equally cute and thought-provoking, really touched people’s hearts.

Stray, a PlayStation console exclusive, was initially launched for PlayStation consoles and PC. The Xbox owners remained oblivious to the excellence of this little game. If a recent tease from Annapurna Interactive is anything to go by, this might change very soon.

Recently, the official account for this developer and publisher sent out a tweet with a screenshot of a YouTube page showing a video that is currently set to private. Usually, it can be anything; Neon White or the new Silent Hill they are working on, but one small detail in this screenshot suggests something else.

Under restrictions, it says none, which means whatever game they are teasing is a family-friendly title. Everything simply points back to Stray. Of course, it’s a family-friendly, third-person narrative adventure.

The common thought here is that this game might be making its way to Microsoft’s Xbox consoles. It might be revealed during the upcoming Starfield showcase. This might even be a possibility; it’s said to be a long showcase revealing a bunch of new titles to the world. It would even reveal launch dates for a number of games people have been waiting for a very long time.
