The June 2025 Xbox event held several big surprises. Three highly anticipated games revealed new information. Between release dates, new game modes, and original universes, the revelations largely fueled players' expectations.
Every year, major video game conferences are an opportunity to discover the titles that will mark the coming months. The Xbox Games Showcase 2025 was no exception. New trailers and strategic announcements punctuated this presentation, intended to lay the groundwork for the end of the year and beyond. A new portable console, the ROG Xbox Ally, was also unveiled, but it was the games that really caught the eye.
Three games in particular caught the eye: The Outer Worlds 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and Beast of Reincarnation. All three showed new footage and shared key details, including release dates, gameplay, and narrative ambitions. Here's what to remember about each.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 returns with a futuristic storyline and co-op mode
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 continues the saga with an even darker installment. Set in 2035, the story features David Mason facing a global psychological war. The game combines a single-player and cooperative campaign, new multiplayer maps, and a Zombies mode. Developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, it will be released on consoles and PC, with no date announced yet. It will also be available as part of Game Pass upon release.
First revealed in 2021, The Outer Worlds 2 is gearing up for an official release date of October 29, 2025. During the Xbox Showcase, a new trailer highlighted the satirical humor of the universe, where space capitalism reigns supreme.
Finally, Beast of Reincarnation, developed by Game Freak, takes place in a post-apocalyptic Japan. The main character, Emma, faces gigantic creatures in a world that blends lore and science fiction. The gameplay alternates between third-person combat and exploration. Both games will be coming to Xbox Series, PS5, and PC, with Game Pass availability confirmed.
