The latest E3 replacement conference is fast approaching and as is tradition I put together a panel to discuss the rumors and or games that are anticipated to be part of this event. It’s always one of the biggest moments in games for the year, when everyone is revealed and it should be fascinating to see what titles do end up getting presented this time around.

With that, I’ve broken down these Xbox Games Showcase 2023 Predictions into three categories. First off is “What to Expect”, these are very likely to happen events or even some confirmed ones for the event. The second selection is “Might See” which are less likely things or generally what I believe may not necessarily be entirely present this time around.

Finally there’s “Won’t See” where I really don’t believe these types of things are happening. There’s also a video breakdown if you would prefer that format option instead, entirely up to you and how you’d like to engage with the content that’s being shown.

Well, that sums up the list for this year’s offering. Hope you found this interesting as being brief details. Most are based on existing years of summary, various industry rumors and some levels of insider knowledge some may note.

It will be interesting to see what does actually happen, or if any of this stuff does come to fruition. Surprises are certainly fun to see as well so hopefully something comes out of nowhere. Definitely one unique time in gaming, that’s for sure. Be sure to check out our review of the next generation Xbox Series X console below or its general hub for further coverage of the platform.
