SEGA confirms this new content at the event dedicated to video games in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Xbox Games Showcase 2020 is here. The event organized by Microsoft has not focused on hardware, but has set its sights on the products to come, on video games. During the broadcast, the North American giant has announced an expansion of Phantasy Star Online 2, which will be released in the Xbox ecosystem. This is New Genesis, a content extension that will take the player to an open world.

Accompanying the announcement they have presented a first trailer, which you can see on these lines, in the headline of the news. As they have announced it will be published throughout 2021, still without a specific date. At least in the Japanese market, the title will be released on other platforms, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Therefore, it is unknown if the SEGA title will be a temporary exclusive on consoles or if it will appear on other systems.

Fable is back

Microsoft had announced with hype and cymbals this Xbox Game Showcase 2020, an event intended to present some of the most important productions of its internal studies. Those of Redmond have lived up to their promise and have not limited themselves to showing Halo Infinite. Among the great novelties is undoubtedly the Fable of Playground, a long-rumored project that finally becomes official. The creators of Forza Horizon 4 had prepared a small teaser trailer for what will be the return of a mythical saga. The project, formerly in the hands of the late Peter Molyneux studio (Lionhead Studios), will go on sale on Xbox Series X and PC.

Although there has been extensive information on video games, this is not the end of the road: there will be more events with more Xbox Game Studios game announcements in the near future, as announced by Microsoft at the conference itself.
