On January 25, Xbox will conduct a Developer Direct showcase. It will highlight Arkane’s upcoming game Redfall, as well as other offerings such as Minecraft Legends, Forza Motorsport, and projects from ZeniMax Online Studios. The biggest mystery, however, is regarding Starfield’s omission from the list. And the simple reason for that is because it will not be featured during the showcase.

Starfield fans shouldn’t be worried, despite its absence in the upcoming event. Because Microsoft hasn’t forgotten about their most ambitious project. Instead, they want to treat it like their primary project. And that’s why it will receive an individual showcase event which will happen soon after the Developer Direct later this month.

This event could provide a lot more information about the anticipated open-world RPG. It could show more gameplay and features, but it could also announce the release date as well. Fans have been impatient to get an update on its arrival for a long time now. This special event will undoubtedly be something to look forward to.
