A strong focus on “perhaps”
- by Ben Kerry
We are now less than a week away from the Xbox Developer Direct 2025, and with yesterday’s Switch 2 announcement now behind us, all attention is on Microsoft and its upcoming major presentation. The question is, how many surprises might be included in this year’s show?
We already have information on one surprise, confirmed by Team Xbox, and now Windows Central reporter Jez Corden is hinting that there might be more in store. It’s a vague statement, we admit, with a strong focus on the “perhaps”, but Corden proposes that Dev Direct ’25 could potentially feature “more than one surprise” next week.
What could a possible second surprise be? Who knows. The same outlet has already claimed to know that one secret will likely be revealed as the return of a “legendary Japanese IP”, and now Corden is speculating on additional potential surprises. Here at Pure Xbox, we recently entertained the idea of another ‘shadow drop’ from Xbox next week, so perhaps a second surprise could take that form? We won’t have to wait long to find out!
As usual with these types of posts, we should note that this remains merely a rumor for now – until the big show next week, at least. Xbox Developer Direct 2025 takes place on January 23rd, and for all event timings, check out our related information post below.
