There's a new threat coming to the world in the form of a mutated alien parasite that's infecting people and wreaking havoc on the planet. Your team is sent to save the day.
This is a 3-player tactical co-op FPS where you'll be teaming up to battle it out against the environment and survive unpredictable missions.
Dying Light 2
- Release date: 4 February 2022
- Xbox One exclusive? No, also on PS5, PS4 and PC
- Publisher: Techland Publishing

The first Dying Light offers an excellent blend of parkour, first-person combat and more than a touch of role-playing. We have even bigger hopes for the sequel, which looks to add a dynamic world to the mix. The characters and circumstances change depending on your actions - a potentially great concept.
The next outing also seemingly promises a world that changes based on your choices, so you'll have much more influence on the world around you. The new trailer also appears to show various factions of humans fighting it out for supremacy, so there'll be more than just brain chompers to worry about.
Elden Ring
- Release date: 25 February 2022
- Xbox One exclusive: No, also on PS5, PS4 and PC
- Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment
- See the official site

Another cracking game reveal at E3 2019 was Elden Ring - a game co-written by Game of Thrones' George RR Martin and developed by FromSoftware. As if that wasn't enough, it's also set to be an action-RPG in the style of Dark Souls. If that's not enough to get your pulse racing, then what is?
Tunic
- Release date: 16 March 2022
- Xbox One exclusive? Yes
- Publisher: ID@Xbox
Looking like a cross between the SNES Zelda games and Monument Valley, Tunic is a cute, isometric adventure game with exploration and puzzles at its heart. Very much an indie game to watch.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
- Release date: Spring 2022
- Xbox One exclusive? No, also on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and PC
- Publisher: WB Games

It seems that a new Lego game is coming at some point soon. This new platformer isn't just a remaster of the previous Lego Star Wars games - it promises hundreds of different characters and different levels throughout. It's being pitched as a brand-new Lego video game unlike any other with fun-filled adventures and plenty of humour too.
Starfield
- Release date: 11 November 2022
- Xbox One exclusive? No, also on Xbox Series X/S and PC
- Publisher: Bethesda

Touted as "Skyrim in Space", Starfield will be the first new intellectual property from Bethesda Softworks in many a year. It's a long, long way off, but still looks like it could be pretty exciting, and will be an Xbox exclusive.
Sonic Frontiers
- Release date: Holiday 2022
- Xbox One exclusive? No, also Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4, Switch and PC
- Publisher: Sega
A new Sonic game is coming to basically every platform it possibly could, and it looks like it's dropping Sonic into an open world with some freedom to tackle things in their own order and way. It looks like it oculd be a great time, and we should find out more soon.
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2
- Release date: TBC
- Xbox One exclusive? No, also on PS4 and PC
- Publisher: Paradox Interactive
squirrel_widget_178107
After a decade and a half, we're finally getting a sequel to Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Similarly a first-person RPG, it'll put you in the shoes of a bloodsucker ready to wreak havoc on mortals and the vampiric alike. We can't wait.
The Elder Scrolls VI
- Release date: TBC
- Xbox One exclusive? No, also on Xbox Series X/S and PC
- Publisher: Bethesda
squirrel_widget_148931
Yep, it's just music and a logo, but doesn't it make the hairs on your arms stand on end like it does ours?
Beyond Good & Evil 2
- Release date: TBC
- Xbox One exclusive? No, also on PS4 and PC
- Publisher: Ubisoft
squirrel_widget_148926
It's been more than 15 years since the original game, so this sequel has us excited more than most. We still haven't seen much of the gameplay yet, but the CGI effects are quite simply jaw-dropping. What's more, you can have some of your music or artwork included in the game. Find out more at hitrecord.org.
Skull & Bones
- Release date: TBC
- Xbox One exclusive? No, also on PS4 and PC
- Publisher: Ubisoft
squirrel_widget_178112
If there's a game to starkly contrast the jovial pirates of the recently released Sea of Thieves then, well, Ubisoft has hit the nail on the head with Skull & Bones. This multiplayer battle game takes you to the seas where you'll need to play co-operatively with others to sink competitors' ships and abscond with the loot.
