X018: page for direct, timetable and what to expect
The event will also provide an opportunity for announcements, revelations and new looks at games and content already announced: this part of the event will take place during the new episode of Inside Xbox, from 22:00 to 24:00 of 10 November (Italian time) where Phil Spencer himself, accompanied by the usual transmission conductors (Graeme Boyd, "Larry" Major Nelson "AceyBongos" Hryb and others), will reveal all the news with the participation of several special guests.
Obviously MondoXbox will keep you updated in real time on all ads and movies shown, but if you want to follow the event with us you can visit on our Live page where you can watch the show and comment on time real in our channel Discord .
But what can we expect from the event? First, it is clear that, although it is a major event for Xbox, This is not E3 . Don't expect then a conference with mountains of ads: the format will be that of Inside Xbox , then a live in studio with videos, trailer and interviews with developers, and although we expect at least a couple of announcements major will not be clearly an event of "level E3", where they are usually dropped the real bombs.
Having said that, let us see what are the contents confirmed, such as the likely and which are already excluded by the parties concerned.

- Expansion Force Horizon 4 -chances are that Microsoft and PlayGround decide to exploit this opportunity to reveal the next major update of Horizon Force 4, which will alter the game experience with new locations and new cars
- Project Ninja Theory -between all new studies recently acquired by Microsoft, Ninja Theory is probably what will put out a game first, since I'm working on a new game from summer 2017. It is therefore possible that the X018 is where the title will finally be revealed.
- Acquiring new studies --some rumor about this at least a couple of new studies acquired by Microsoft, whose announcement could take place on this occasion. One such rumor would speak even the acquisition of Obsidian Entertainment , the software house specializing in RPG and responsible for many excellent titles from the past.
- Revelation Battletoads -at E3 we learned developing a new Battletoads by Dlala Studios. It is possible that on this occasion there is shown for the first time.
ADS DENIED OFFICIALLY:
- Next game Playground Games (Fable) -studio creative director Ralph Fulton has stated that it will still take "a long time" before they begin to talk about the game. So you probably won't see him here.
