One of Microsoft's top bosses, Aaron Greenberg, has had a busy morning on social media today. From London on the eve of Xbox's X019 event tomorrow, the General Manager of Xbox Games Marketing confirmed the live show will not feature any news on Project Scarlett and is instead "all about the games," as he told one curious fan on Twitter.
Greenberg said 2020 will be all about Scarlett, so for fans tuning in tomorrow, you can expect a slew of game news and gameplay reveals, but nothing yet on Microsoft's fourth-generation console, which is set to hit stores roughly one year from now in the holiday 2020 window.
Greenberg also shared a teaser regarding the beloved PC series, Age of Empires, and presumably its much-anticipated sequel, Age of Empires 4 which has remained quiet since its announcement two years ago.
X019 is the second consecutive year for Microsoft's "global celebration of all things Xbox." At last year's show, the company revealed 16 more Xbox Game Pass titles, two studio acquisitions in famed RPG makers Obsidian and inXile, and debuted new content updates for first-party titles like Sea of Thieves and more.
This year's show is expected to follow a similar format, albeit with more chatter surrounding Project xCloud, the company's foray into game streaming on devices beyond just the home console. One usually reliable industry insider has also tweeted this morning to expect new IP reveals from Rare and Obsidian, as well as 2020 release dates for three other Xbox Game Studios projects: Bleeding Edge, Wasteland 3, and Minecraft Dungeons.
X019 kicks off tomorrow at 12 pm Pacific, and Microsoft has three days of livestreams planned through Saturday to keep players engaged with all the news that comes out of the show.
