Halo: Infinite, Fable, Psychonauts 2,


Obsidian’s next RPG, more


Teeing up for next-gen. BY BRAD CHACOS

T


he endless fake E3 summer
continued in July with yet another
Xbox games showcase from
Microsoft. Unlike the ho-hum
reveals of May’s Xbox event (go.pcworld.
com/hohm),this show brought the hits, as
Microsoft revealed a slew of first-party
blockbusters destined to land on Windows 10
PCs as well as the forthcoming Xbox Series X
(go.pcworld.com/srsx)—including an
extended demo of Halo: Infinite, which got

itself a Steam page (go.pcworld.com/hlin)
while the 10-minute video played.
We also got our first glimpse at Obsidian’s
next game and—finally!—Double Fine’s
Psychonauts 2 (go.pcworld.com/p2tr),
complete with a serenade from Jack Black.
And we’re getting a new Fable game (go.
pcworld.com/fbtr), though the tantalizingly
brief trailer failed to mention an estimated
release date.
People hoping for an Xbox Series X price
