Xbox is taking the stage at Gamescom later this month, bringing three big presentations for Avowed, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Starfield: Shattered Space. These are all games set to come out in 2024, but none have release dates or have been fully revealed to the public.
While we got the most in-depth look MachineGames’ upcoming Indiana Jones title and its gameplay during the company’s summer showcase, we don’t have a release date or any information about the larger story, besides that it takes place chronologically between Raiders of the Lost Arc and The Last Crusade, involves Nazis, and features a mysterious artifact (so, not too different from a typical Indiana Jones story). We do know that the majority of the gameplay will be in first person and that there will be puzzles, but little else.
Then there’s Avowed, the next game from The Outer Worlds developer Obsidian Entertainment. It’s an open-world fantasy RPG that takes place in the Pillars of Eternity universe. We know a lot about the gameplay here — it’s hub-based instead of a full open world, you’ll have companions, and there will be a lot of choices that can affect the story — but we’re missing key plot details.
Finally, there’s Shattered Space, Starfield‘s first major story DLC. It got a reveal trailer in June that was mostly cinematic but showed off some of the gameplay. It feels more like a horror story, where you have to investigate a cosmic threat. There will also be a new planet and new gear. But again, there’s currently no release date or more details about the additions.
The rest of 2024 isn’t too empty for Xbox. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl was recently delayed again, but only into November, and it’ll be available to demo at the Xbox booth. There’s also Age of Mythology: Retold and Ara: History Untold in September, along with new expansions for Diablo 4 and Fallout 76. Stoic’s side-scroller Towerborne is also set for 2024, but it doesn’t have a release date.
Xbox is also hosting streams beyond the big presentations that’ll go through many of these titles. Here’s the schedule.

Your charging cable might get a workout if you try ‘Charchery’
The concept is as simple as it is destructive: you plug your charger into the phone to nock an arrow, and you physically yank it out to fire. It is undeniably clever, bizarre, and almost certainly a terrible idea for the longevity of your hardware.
Your Fable reboot preview is here, open world Albion looks gloriously chaotic
The hook is familiar, your choices matter, people notice, and consequences linger. The difference is scale. This is a fully open world take, with townsfolk on routines who respond to what you do, even when you think no one’s watching. It’s still chasing that mix of heroics, petty crime, and dry British humor, only with modern action RPG muscle.
Nintendo’s latest product wants to cheer you up with random quips
Nintendo first teased the Talking Flower during a Nintendo Direct showcase last September. The company has now shared more details about the product, and confirmed when it will officially go on sale. Based on the flowers in the Super Mario Bros. Wonder game, the Talking Flower is exactly what its name suggests: a potted flower that speaks around twice per hour, delivering lines like "Sometimes it's nice to space out" or "Bowser and his buds can't get us here, right?"
