It’s a new year, so new games.
Microsoft and Bethesda started the year off with a Developer Direct yesterday to discuss their upcoming games for 2024, with specific looks at Hellblade II, Avowed, Indiana Jones, and more.
Obsidian Entertainment started the Direct off with a look at Avowed, their foray into first-person fantasy action-adventure. Obsidian is best known for their work on the hit Fallout: New Vegas, and their work on The Outer Worlds. The devs showed off gameplay and their combat system, along with a look at one of the side-quests you can encounter to illustrate how choice works in the game. The game launches this fall.

It then moved on to cover Hellblade II by Ninja Theory to discuss more about the story that Senua will journey on in the sequel. They worked closely with a Cambridge professor to get the psychological components of the game right, since Senua suffers from psychosis.
The Direct moved on to cover a game from Square-Enix, called Visions of Mana, as well as Oxide Games to discuss their 4X grand strategy game, Ara: History Untold.
Finally, the Direct moved on to Machinegames’ Indiana Jones. Todd Howard, head of Bethesda Games, has a direct role in the game’s development and introduced the game's first look. It starts with Indy buried up to his head in sand, and of course, he’s facing off against Nazis. The trailer demonstrates gameplay, which seems to be a mix of first-person and third-person, elements of puzzle-solving, combat, and exploration where his iconic whip plays an important role, and of course, plenty of Nazi punching. They reveal that the game takes place between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, and it starts with the theft of a relic that takes Indy on a globe-trotting adventure that unravels an even greater mystery, and he’ll be joined by a woman named Gina. The name of this next Indy adventure was revealed to be Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and will be released later this year.
