Xbox Games Showcase — 2025
A leaner Xbox showing, but a curious one. Clockwork Revolution, Grounded 2 and Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation led, with Super Meat Boy going 3D and A Plague Tale spinning off into Resonance. Here's what stood out.
Lineup
There are No Ghosts at the Grand
There are No Ghosts at the Grand turned heads at the Xbox Showcase with its storybook art, talking cats, and creative FPS twists. Launching in 2026 - looks neat.
Clockwork Revolution
Clockwork Revolution reemerged with a deeper look at its steampunk city, Avalon. InXile’s ambitious RPG still has no release date, but the new footage offers plenty to unpack for now.
Grounded 2
Grounded 2 was revealed, with Obsidian bringing back its shrunk-down survival in a bigger world, new threats, and buggy rides. Hits Game Preview next month.
Beast of Reincarnation
Game Freak (!) stunned at the Xbox Showcase with Beast of Reincarnation, a dark, post-apocalyptic action RPG set in a ruined Japan. Play as Emma, a cursed outcast, and her dog Koo as they battle beasts, forge strange powers, and "uncover what it means to be human". Coming 2026. Intrigued to see what Game Freak can do that... isn't Pokémon!
Super Meat Boy 3D
Super Meat Boy lives on, now in 3D! Expect the same brutal, gory obstacle courses, now with depth. Launching 2026.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy
A Plague Tale returns with Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, a 2026 prequel set 15 years before Innocence. Play as young Sophia exploring mythic Minotaur’s Island in a shifting world of traps, puzzles, and danger. Cool.
