Perfect Dark, Contraband, and Project 'Latitude'
Then we have Perfect Dark, which is seemingly “shaping up nicely now” and Contraband which faced some issues due to the pandemic and important staff exiting the project. Then we come to the multi-platform agenda that Xbox has been speaking about for some time now. It seems that we might get an idea about whether their pillar franchises will be available on new platforms soon, this plan has been codenamed Latitude. Moreover, it seems that the next game that could be going multi-platform is Doom. Exciting times ahead.
Xbox on Every Screen Details Revealed
In other news, Jez Corden has also provided details about Xbox on Every Screen. Xbox on Every Screen has been the company’s motto for some years and now we have an understanding of what it could mean. Corden stated on the Xbox Two podcast that they have some details on the subject regarding its present state.
According to Corden, it seems that Xbox games will have a custom social UI on every platform. Corden then provided an example stating if players are playing Sea of Thieves on PlayStation, then they will be able to open something like “mini Xbox guides”, something like the Nintendo Miiverse. Corden concludes by stating that the codename for this project is Roseway.
