Xbox is taking 2026 very seriously. It looks like Asha Sharma is off to a good start by bringing Xbox Fanfest back. Gears of War E Day surprises me by not only being revealed and having a deep dive this summer but is also slated for a release this year! State of Decay 3 is also not dead with alpha playthroughs available next month! There is all sorts going on at the moment including Halo Studios leadership coming under fire for mismanagement. Is Halo doomed again?!
