During its press conference, Microsoft showed off a slew of new games, including many exclusives.
Halo Xbox One – working title (343 Industries, Microsoft Studios). The award-winning franchise continues on Xbox One, beginning in 2014.
Killer Instinct (Double Helix, Microsoft Studios). After nearly a decade, the popular fighting franchise returns to Xbox One with the Killer Instinct characters and combos that revolutionized fighting games. Killer Instinct is enabled with robust progression and rewards, dynamic challenges customized to player behavior, and predictive matchmaking for seamless competitive fights.
Kinect Sports Rivals (Rare, Microsoft Studios). Launching in November, Kinect Sports Rivals is the next generation of the best-selling Kinect franchise, Kinect Sports, that brings your favorite sports back in re-imagined ways, and delivers new sports, made possible only with Xbox One’s all-new re-engineered Kinect. Kinect Sports Rivals puts you in the game like never before, tracks your movements and expressions with incredible accuracy, and offers never-ending competition with your friends and competitors.
LocoCycle (Twisted Pixel, Microsoft Studios). LocoCycle takes you on an action-packed adventure only seen on Xbox One with a sentient motorcycle named I.R.I.S and her mechanic, Pablo (who, against his will, is literally being dragged along for the ride). Together, I.R.I.S and Pablo fight for their freedom while facing the Big Arms agents and their secret sentient motorcycle weapon, Spike.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (Kojima Productions, Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.). The concept of this title is Realistic Espionage Action in an Open World Environment. Environmental elements like weather and wildlife, and enemies that adapt their strategy to the player’s actions, let players experience a more realistic world. The vast open world environment enhances the thrill and freedom of stealth. Aside from numerous optional missions, there are a variety of gameplay elements that encourage exploration and item-collection outside the main missions.
Minecraft: Xbox One Edition (4J/Mojang, Microsoft Studios). Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will deliver the Minecraft experience to Xbox One. Building off the hugely successful Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, the edition on Xbox One will include larger maps for more complex structures, expanded multiplayer features and enhanced gameplay powered by the Xbox One platform. Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will be available within the Xbox One launch window.
