Xbox’s half-hour trailer blitz revealed Blindfire, FBC: Firebreak, Mouse: P.I. For Hire, the second Alan Wake II expansion and more.
Microsoft had a bevy of trailers for games from partner studios, including first reveals of long-teased games. Here’s everything seen at the Xbox Partner Preview in October.
Not all of the games and expansions are new, but all are either available now or coming soon. For instance, indie darling Animal Well released back in May, and is finally available on Xbox, while newly-revealed neon shooter BlindFire is available now in early access. You’ll have to wait for other games shown today, most of which are set to release in 2025.
More info for every game shown in the showcase is available on Xbox Wire, and here are all the trailers from the October Xbox Partner Preview.Alan Wake II DLC: The Lake House
The second (and as far as we know, final) DLC to the lauded Alan Wake II got another trailer. While the first one shown at Gamescom was just a tease, now we’re seeing gameplay of the expansion, confirming that the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) agent in the base game, Kiran Estevez, will be a playable character in this DLC. Cronos: The New Dawn
This reveal trailer was more vibes than gameplay for Cronos: The New Dawn, a new game by Polish studio Bloober Team (The Medium). The creepy trailer juxtaposed a chess game between an old lady and someone in a sealed black suit (like a SCUBA diver in space) and scenes of the latter splattering malformed humanoid creatures. The game comes out in 2025 for Xbox Series X/S and PC.BlindFire
The neon punk shooter BlindFire from studio Double Eleven got a reveal trailer, showing demonstrative gameplay for the game’s vibes. It’s all about managing light: despite starting a round in darkness, thermal scans, explosions, spotlights and blacklights tip the player off to opponents running around a map decorated like a laser tag arena.
