Mark your calendars, gaming enthusiasts! The month of June is always brimming with expectation as the gaming world sets its eyes on the annual exhibitions and showcases to take place. This year is no different, as we look forward to the Xbox Showcase scheduled for June 11, 2023, along with a handful of other exciting events that have got fans on the edge of their seats.
The Xbox Showcase 2023 is not just an ordinary event in the gaming community's calendar, it is a beacon of anticipation that shines brightly for fans across the globe. Scheduled for 10 a.m. PT (which is 6 p.m. in the UK), it promises to be an event filled with thrill, excitement, and the promise of a brilliant gaming future. A not-to-be-missed segment of the showcase is a Starfield direct that will follow the main event. Xbox has made an assertive promise that none of the trailers featured during the showcase will be fully CG, meaning that all games will present in-engine gameplay. A promise that certainly adds a touch of reality to the anticipation of the event.
The Xbox Showcase, traditionally, has always been a platform for the launch and presentation of new games, updates, and hardware. However, this year, with Xbox's statement about in-engine gameplay, the anticipation level has reached new heights. Gamers around the globe will be eager to get a real feel of the gameplay of their much-awaited titles. So, are you ready to embark on the virtual journey that Xbox Showcase 2023 promises?
Another exhilarating piece of news that is creating a buzz in the gaming community is the details that have emerged about Phantom Blade 0. Originally revealed during the PlayStation Showcase 2023, this game has piqued the interest of many gamers. Promising a Ninja Gaiden style combat along with souls like mechanics, Phantom Blade 0 is one game that appears to be bracing itself for a grand entry into the gaming arena.
But what makes Phantom Blade 0 more fascinating is its firm stand on microtransactions - the game will include none. This is a move that has been warmly welcomed by gamers worldwide, as they often express their distaste for microtransactions disrupting the natural game flow. In a world where microtransactions are becoming a norm in the gaming industry, this move by the developers of Phantom Blade 0 certainly sets them apart. This might be the game that changes the tide and sets a new trend. So, are you planning on engaging in the thrill that Phantom Blade 0 has to offer?
