X019, a celebration of all things Xbox, is set to run from the 14th until the 16th of November. The event kicked off with a special episode of Inside Xbox that had all manner of announcements, from game reveals to xCloud details, and we’ve gathered all the news you need below.

For more information on certain entries, you can click on the title to be taken to our relevant article. Enjoy!

Everwild is the latest game from Rare and a completely new IP. Not much is currently known about Everwild, aside from it being a “unique and unforgettable experience” set in a “natural and magical world.”

You can watch the announcement for Everwild above. Be warned: the trailer features an absolutely adorable flowery-eared-deer-type-creature that may make you cry with how adorable it is. Totally not speaking from experience here.

Grounded is a jam-packed survival RPG set in a garden. The catch? You and some of your friends have been shrunk down to the size of an ant and everything is apparently out to get you.

You can watch the announcement trailer for Grounded above. Grounded will be out on Xbox One and PC in Spring 2020.

In West of Dead, you play as the dead cowboy William Mason (voiced by Ron Perlman) as he travels around the gritty world of Purgatory. The game is a fast-paced twin-stick shooter set in procedurally generated hunting grounds. This town isn’t big enough for the both of us, partner.

West of Dead is currently in open beta on Xbox One and players can test it out until November 25th.

Jurassic World Evolution is getting a new DLC featuring the voices of the original film’s cast

Jurassic World Evolution is going back to Jurassic Park in the aptly named Return To Jurassic Park DLC. Packed to the brim with nostalgia and Jeff Goldbum, the new DLC sees you reclaiming the park from the dinosaurs, rebuilding iconic locations, and overcoming brand new challenges guided by none other than Dr. Alan Grant, Dr. Ellie Sattler, and the mesmerising Dr. Ian Malcolm themselves.

The original film’s voice cast have also returned to voice their respective roles! The DLC also features Jurassic Park-inspired attractions, new dinosaurs including the Pteranodon and Compsognathus, legacy skin variants, and a 1993-inspired overlay and inventory. Life finds a way.

Everyone’s favourite theme park simulation game that isn’t RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 or 2 is officially coming to the Xbox One family of consoles in summer 2020.

In Planet Coaster, you build and maintain your very own theme park. The game has three modes: Career, Sandbox, and Challenge. That means that you can either stick to the rules and play along with a scenario, go completely wild and do whatever your heart desires, or do the latter but with the added difficulty of having to keep an eye on your funds. Wheeee!

KartRider is coming to Xbox

KartRider is getting an Xbox port called KartRider: Drift. To quote the official YouTube video description:

KartRider: Drift is the only free-to-play kart racer where arcade thrills, the fastest skilled competition, & deep kart + character customization awaits you on the track. No Limits. All Drift.

KartRider: Drift is also heading to PC. If you want to take part in a closed beta, you can head over to the official KartRider website and get yourself all signed up.

Tell Me Why is a brand new game from Dontnod that’s set to release in full on Xbox One in summer 2020. Twins Tyler and Alyson must use their special-twin-bond to navigate their memories of their loving, albeit troubled, childhood.

The game is set to deal with mature themes and gripping choices. One of the twins, Tyler, is a transgender man, and game director Florent Guillaume thanked Microsoft for its “full support, openness, and help regarding Tyler’s identity and character as a transgender man.”

Last Stop is coming to PC and console in 2020

Last Stop is a brand new game from Variable State, who also created the award-winning Virginia, and published by Annapurna Interactive.

The game is an anthology that compiles three stories into one – kind of like Pulp Fiction or Amores Perros. Three separate characters find their worlds colliding together during a supernatural event and the game revolves around secret lives, the ties that bind, and how magic can be found in the mundane.

Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2 will be available in Xbox Game Pass in 2020. This announcement caused our gaming editor to almost faint with excitement, so we hope you’re even as half as excited as he is.

For more information on each Yakuza game, we recommend checking out our article here. I, personally, am just excited to see Nugget get the Xbox fame he deserves.

Drake Hollow was officially announced and is coming in 2020

Drake Hollow, the next game from The Molasses Flood, is set to release on Xbox One and Windows 10 in 2020.

To quote the game’s official announcement trailer:

Explore a blighted world with your friends. Gather supplies, battle savage creatures, and build villages to protect the local innocent vegetable folks known as Drakes.

According to the game’s just-launched official website, the game is set to be an action village builder set in a spooky-looking world.

It’s been an entire 14 years since Age of Empires III, so we’re sort of overdue the next instalment in the series. While we didn’t receive a release date for Age of Empires IV, we did receive some other news: the studio behind the game is officially known as World’s Edge.

Bleeding Edge will officially release early next year
