Xbox’s Fall partner showcase 2024: All the news, trailers, and previews

Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.

Unknown World’s spooky-ass ocean game is getting a direct sequel. Subnautica 2 debuted during today’s Xbox partner preview. Judging by the announcement trailer, the game is, once again, making a strong case for why we don’t belong in the ocean. Not ours, and especially not an alien planet’s.

“FBC: Firebreak is its own, fully formed thing.”

That’s director Mike Kayatta describing the just-revealed Control spinoff that’s being billed as Remedy’s first multiplayer game. We know the studio has big plans for the franchise, and the new game is a three-player co-op FPS that’s due out in 2025.

During the trailer, one moment features individual kitted out in astronaut gear, exploring a dilapidated house overrun by monsters.

Wake up, new Alan Wake trailer dropped.

Here’s another look at the Lake House expansion for Alan Wake 2which drops on October 22nd. It looks delightfully creepy — and perfect for Halloween.
