Tonight at 7pm (French time), Microsoft is kicking off its 2025 year with its first conference, a new episode of the Xbox Developers Direct that the American firm has been organizing every year in January since 2023.
As always, Xbox will highlight several of its studios with their various games in preparation and coming this year. Generally, each year, we are treated to a big surprise announcement. In 2023, this announcement was for Hi-Fi Rush, and last year for Visions of Mana. What will be the surprise game of 2025? For the moment, two theories and rumors that seem the most credible mention the announcement of a Remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, or the announcement of the return of a very big cult Japanese license.

As always, the Xbox Developers Direct will be broadcast on Xbox's official channels and networks. Follow the event on Twitch or YouTube.
Games already confirmed for Xbox Developers Direct 2025:
As always, a large part of the program is already known. The idea of Xbox Developers Direct is not to reveal games in preview but to provide updates on the progress of development. Microsoft thus reveals the program in advance to avoid any false hopes!
