- Today, I am excited to show you the world premiere
of Forza Horizon 4, set in beautiful, historic Britain.
Forza Horizon 4 is a shared opened world
when you play with the entire community.
And that means the other drivers you'll meet in the game
will be real people with all the variety,
spontaneity, and fun that real people bring.
In Horizon 4, every season changes the world around you
with each bringing it's own unique beauty
and unique game play.
Seasons, time of day, and weather conditions are dynamic,
but they are synchronized for every player,
so the entire community will experience
them at the same time.
One of the great things about this shared world
is that it's easy to interact with the people you meet.
It's great to play solo,
but it's better to play with others.
Horizon 4 lets you seamlessly enter corp
from within the game world.
Forza Horizon 4 is coming to Xbox One
and Windows 10 on October 2nd.
And I am thrilled to announce that it will be included
in Xbox Game Pass on the same day.
(cheering and clapping) Thank you so much!
- By joining us in Microsoft Studios,
these five new teams will have the resources,
the platform and creative independence take bigger risks,
creative even bolder worlds for you.
So, please help me in welcoming all of our new studios.

- [Computer] Merry Christmas.
Kit, we gotta get you leveled up.
- [Kit] I know, please help, I've been busy.
- [Man Over Radio] Toxic chemical residue detected.
- [Kid] Oh crap, Mav, watch out!
Mav, look out!
Oh, I'm stuck. (gunfire)
- [Kid] Need a little help?
To take the capital back?
- [Girl] I think we're ready.
Three, two, one, go, go, go, go!
- Too often we are forced to chose
one amazing game over another.
What if you didn't have to chose?
What if you could play them all?
The answer, Xbox Game Pass.
So, for the last year, we've been working on
how to give you faster access to all those games,
and invented a way to start your games twice as fast.
And naturally, we're calling it Fast Start.
Ultimately, it all comes down to the games.
We'll continue to deliver iconic favorites
like Halo the Master Chief collection.
We also plan to release all new exclusive games
from Microsoft Studios including Forza Horizon 4,
Crackdown 3, and more into the the Xbox Game Pass
catalog on the same day as their global release.
Games like Ashen, Warhammer Vermintide 2,
Afterparty, and Phoenix Point.
All available on Xbox Game Pass
the same day as their global release.
So, that's what's next,
but let's talk about what's happening today.
Tom Clancy's, The Division...
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited,
and Fallout 4 all enhanced for Xbox One X in Gorgeous 4k,
and all of them playable today in Xbox Game Pass.
(cheering and clapping)
Thanks everyone. (cheering and clapping)
- [Voiceover] I thought I knew why I came here.
I saw it, the end.
(upbeat pop music)
- The DMC is back!
- It's been 10 years since Devil May Cry 4 was released,
and fans have been asking for a true sequel ever since.
Now, while visuals are really important,
the controls need to remain type responsive as well.
So, we gathered the best minds at CavCom to ensure
that we can still deliver that amazing gameplay
that Devil May Cry is known for.
And we think that we made something that feels better
than any action game we've ever created.
(cheering and clapping) - Have a great evening!
(upbeat pop music)
- For the rest of our briefing,
everything we show you will be world premiere games
no one has seen before.
Starting off with something entirely new
from our friends at Bandai Namco.
(mid-tempo urban music)
- The Dying Light 2 is everything you'd expect
from a bold sequel the first game.
Dying Light 2 will be the first of a genre
where your choices have genuine consequences
in the game itself.
Everything in the game world can change
based on your decisions.
Each players game experience will be unique.
And by the way, this is just what happens in the day.
At night, well things tend to get a lot darker.
(growling)
(mid-tempo urban music)
(rumbling)
- Uh-oh!
- I'm excited to also announce
the true Gears of War PC experience
in a completely different genre, Gears Tactics.
You create a whole new squad 12 years before
Gears of War 1, as they hunt the locust monster maker
responsible for destroying whole cities.
It's our take on the classic turn base strategy genre,
with a character driven story,
faster, more aggressive game play,
a customizable squad and equipment.
And of course, it wouldn't be a Gears game
without a massive boss strattle.
But it's not just about going to new places,
it's also about having new experiences.
And the amazing team at the coalition
is working hard to bring you our most ambitious
Gears Award title yet, Gears 5.
(cheering and clapping)
As Kait, you'll journey across the biggest
and most beautiful we've ever created,
where the war for humanity escalates on two fronts.
Outside the capital city,
and within Kait herself.

- [Voiceover] In 2077, they voted my city
the worst place to live in America.
Main issues: sky high rate of violence,
and more people living below the poverty line
than anywhere else.
It's a city of dreams, and I'm a big dreamer.
- [Girl] This key blade...
- Is that...
- Mickey...
You're too late.
