In a recent interview, Xbox's president of game content and studios hinted at a Dev Direct scheduled for January 2026. Matt Booty revealed that Xbox has an exciting lineup, stating they have more content than can be showcased in a single event. This suggests updates could be on the way for much-anticipated titles like the upcoming Fable game and the Forza Horizon series. Despite a quiet presence at The Game Awards, where Xbox's strategy seemed overshadowed by PlayStation's announcements, the upcoming Dev Direct may aim to rejuvenate interest in the Xbox brand amidst recent challenges including a call for boycotts related to broader issues.

Fans can look forward to updates on major titles such as Fable and Forza Horizon, along with potential announcements from other Xbox Game Studios games. The event aims to highlight a significant amount of upcoming content for the year ahead.

The Fable series is a beloved action role-playing game franchise that first debuted on the original Xbox in 2004. Known for its whimsical world and player choice, fans have been eagerly awaiting the next title in the series, which is being developed by Playground Games, renowned for their work on the Forza Horizon series. With the recent challenges facing Xbox, there is an increased focus on how they will engage their community in the coming months.
