“Where the future of Xbox is being developed”
Microsoft is honoring its fiftieth anniversary, and as part of these festivities, “Today” has provided a rare glimpse into what it refers to as a “secret Xbox lab” where the upcoming generation of Xbox is being developed.
Unfortunately, we are unable to embed the video here at the moment since it is not currently available on YouTube or any other social media platforms, so we will need to direct you to the Today website – but trust us, the four-minute video is worth a watch!
In the footage, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer showcases the “secret Xbox lab,” revealing the extensive efforts invested in prototyping how a console feels and sounds. The narrator also alludes to the next Xbox console during this:
“Spencer, guiding us on an exclusive tour of their top secret gaming labs, where the future of Xbox is being crafted right now.”
Later in the video, Spencer’s office is highlighted once more, and he suggests that an item on his shelf has yet to be revealed but is likely coming soon – and it’s related to a specific game. We speculate it’s a DOOM: The Dark Ages custom controller that looks remarkably cool, and we hope it won’t just be another social media giveaway upon its release.
The Xbox handheld is also mentioned, with Phil Spencer revealing to Today that it’s something the company is considering, and a glimpse of a handheld does appear in the video quite briefly – though it’s hard to determine exactly what it is.
Anyway, go ahead and watch it for yourself – we’ll wait here for you! Then, come back and let us know what you saw in the comments.
