Rumors have begun to surface about one of Xbox's many 2025-stamped first-party games getting delayed into 2026. Xbox had a very solid 2024 of first-party titles, led by Ninja Theory's long-awaited Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 and MachineGames' Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The latter, while having missed the 2024 Game Awards cutoff, received very high praise from critics and gamers alike, becoming one of 2024's best games.
Xbox's first-party 2025 picture began forming during its impressive Summer Game Fest showcase in June. The show gave 2025 release windows to Playground Games' Fable reboot, Compulsion Games' South of Midnight, and Bethesda's freshly revealed Doom: The Dark Ages. Also unveiled at the show was Gears of War: E-Day, which, along with inXile's Clockwork Revolution, has entered the 2025 rumor mill as well. In an unexpected turn, Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds sequel, which was first announced in 2021, has just recently been given a 2025 release window when it appeared with a new trailer at The Game Awards 2024.
