The official announcement of the date and the three confirmed games for the Xbox Developer Direct 2026 has generated quite a buzz on social media and forums. However, it seems that Microsoft might have another surprise up its sleeve for the event, in the form of a fourth, yet-to-be-announced video game.
The information comes from Shinobi602, who has dropped a hint on the ResetEra forums that there will be a fourth “secret” game at the Developer Direct. According to their words, it would be an announcement that Microsoft is keeping under wraps until the event itself.
A possible hidden announcement for the Xbox Developer Direct 2026
The Xbox Developer Direct 2026 is set to take place on Thursday, January 22nd at 7:00 PM (Spanish mainland time), and so far, it has three already-announced titles confirmed. However, Shinobi602 claims that there will be something more, although they haven’t given any concrete hints about the game in question.
- That being said, the insider has added an interesting nuance: the surprise title doesn’t quite fit their personal tastes, which are known to lean towards RPGs and action-adventure games. This opens the door to speculation about different genres, although for now, there’s no information to go beyond that.
The idea of an unexpected announcement isn’t far-fetched. In previous editions of the Developer Direct, the Xbox Game Studios team has already surprised us with unpredictable moves, including immediate releases and off-script announcements.
With several projects in development within Microsoft Gaming, everything suggests that the January 22nd event could bring some additional news beyond what’s already been announced. For now, we’ll have to wait and see if that fourth secret game is real… or just a well-founded rumor.
