Xbox could be revealing that it has acquired at least 3 s🌱tudios, according to new rumors.

More Xbox acquisitions could be on the way, according to Jeff Grubb, who said that he's heard rumors of at least three new studios that have been brought into the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft ecosystem. While there's no indi꧂cation th🐈at these could be revealed at E3, Grubb does specify that the studios he's heard mentioned are Hitman developer IO interactive, Crytek, and Avalanche Studios, the team behind the Just Cause games.

Yesterday, it was revealed that Xbox is ac🥂tively pursuing more developer acquisitions after it 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:purchased Bethesda parent company ZeniMax Media last year. With the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase taking place on June 13, it's certainly the perfect time to reveal an acquisition and capitalize on that E3 2021 hype.

The studios that are rumored are certainly interesting. IO Interactive has only recently released Hitman 3 and is has since announced that it's currently working on a new James Bond-themed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Project 007 as well as an unannounced title. Avalanche is a studio well-known for its open-world games such as Rage 2 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Just Cause 4 that have made use of the Apex game engine to introduce devastating weather effects. The studio teased a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new project last year.

As for Crytek, the studio was behind the original Far Cry title and the Crysis titles. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Crysis Remastered Trilogy is already on the way this year for PC and consoles, but the studio is also known to be working on a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new AAA project that is said to be an open-world game.

Since Xbox and Bethesda joined forces, 𒐪excl💞usivity for some future titles has been confirmed. Elsewhere, Bethesda is also working on a number of projects, and there's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 6 and new IP 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield that we expect to see at the showcase, with multiple sources discussing a potential release date. Dishonored developer Arkane, also included in the acquisition, is working on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Deathloop - slated for launch later this year - and a rumored project Omen.

Xbox is certainly building up to an exciting E3, so why not check out all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X games confirmed so far, and while you're at it, why not have a look at out roundup of the best 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Prime Day TV deals.

I'm partial to an action adventure RPG such as Skyrim and Cyberpunk 2077. I enjoy the occasion♍al open-world driving games and even those skateboarding titles. But really, if any game I'🥂m playing has a photo mode, I'll likely be found snapping pictures of anything and everything.
