1:33 PM – Well, thanks for watching then, and thanks for reading along! Some ups and downs here — I’m not sure why you would even bother to announce 007 First Light‘s presence with nothing more than a car reveal — but a ton of new titles appeared today. Dave the Diver and CloverPit dropping on Xbox today also makes for a nice surprise. See you next showcase!
1:31 PM – We’re getting an overview of everything shown, and – that appears to be it, actually. A Thanks for Watching screen. No “One more thing.“
1:29 PM – Raji: Kaliyuga is a follow-up to Raji: An Ancient Epic, with a totally new art style and scope.
1:27 PM – No new release date or window for Tides of Annihilation, unfortunately.
1:26 PM – Pretty thorough look at the boss fight here. Lots of stylish moments, which is typically the case for AAA Chinese action games. Hopefully it’s fun to play as it is cool to witness.
1:23 PM – I believe we’re looking at Tides of Annihilation now. A Chinese game based on Arthurian legend with some clear Final Fantasy inspiration, starring Jennifer English of Shadowheart fame.
1:23 PM – It’s a new Hitman target mission – Eminem vs Slim Shady.
1:22 PM – Video game Eminem is in Hitman. As in, fully Eminem. Eminem model, sounds like he’s voiced by Eminem.

CloverPit is available on Xbox today.
1:19 PM – Thank goodness the rabbit has now been joined by his allies. I was getting worried for him. The game is Zoopunk, but I didn’t see a release window.
1:18 PM – I’m now watching an anthropomorphic rabbit fight for his life in a bleak landscape. A high-budget Overgrowth, basically.
1:17 PM – Interesting, voxel-based Western called Erosion coming next year. I’ll definitely be keeping tabs on this one, which looks like it has real ambition in its story and gameplay.
UPDATE: 2025/11/20 13:15 EST
Reanimal is coming on February 13, 2026.
1:14 PM – Creepy vibes continue with Reanimal, the new game from the Little Nightmares creator. It may very well be a better follow-up than Little Nightmares 3 was.
1:13 PM – The horror game is Total Chaos, available today.
1:12 PM – Xbox is showing off a horror game now, with lots of shotgun blasts alongside more makeshift weapons.
1:10 PM – 007 First Light has shown off the Aston Martin Valhalla for the game. I’m hoping that isn’t all we get of Bond today.
UPDATE: 2025/11/20 13:09 EST
Vampire Crawlers Revealed
First-person Vampire Survivors spin-off Vampire Crawlers is coming in 2026.
1:07 PM – Xbox is keeping up the pace with a lot of quick trailers in short succession. Crowsworn and Echo Generation 2 are the latest. The former is a side-scroller with a bit of a Hollow Knight style, while the latter is a sequel to a 2021 turn-based adventure game.
UPDATE: 2025/11/20 13:06 EST
Dave the Diver Revealed for Xbox
Dave the Diver is out today on Xbox.
1:04 PM – Following Armatus, we’ve got looks at The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu and Dave the Diver. Dave the Diver is already a hit on other platforms, and it’s out on Xbox today, with more content coming next year.
1:03 PM – The showcase kicked off with Armatus, a new action game. It doesn’t look like anything too transformative, but it looks very refined.
UPDATE: 2025/11/20 13:02 EST
A new action game called Armatus has been revealed for 2026.
1:00 PM – The showcase is starting! Right on time.
12:50 PM, Ben – The newest Xbox Partner Preview showcase is starting in 10 minutes, and this one sounds like it could be pretty exciting. Xbox has already confirmed the appearance of 007 First Light, along with games like Tides of Annihilation and Reanimal, the latter of which is coming from the creator of Little Nightmares. I’m not expecting any incredible revelations here — this wouldn’t be Valve’s venue of choice for a Half-Life 3 announcement — but there should be plenty to see. I’ll be live-blogging all the game reveals and news here, and you can follow along with the livestream below.
