For instance, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, Remedy Entertainment, and Studio Wildcard will feature their games with more than 20 minutes of trailer and gameplay in the upcoming Xbox Partner Preview. Therefore, players can catch glimpses of Alan Wake 2, the long-awaited sequel to the psychological horror classic, the first gameplay footage of Ark: Survival Ascended and many more. Today, our article will bring you up to speed on what to expect and the time of the upcoming Xbox Partner Preview.

Xbox Partner Preview Is the Opposite of Microsoft’s Annual Xbox Showcase Events

As mentioned above, the upcoming Xbox Partner Preview will solely focus on third-party partners with Microsoft rather than the first-party games in the annual Xbox Showcase events. Therefore, there will be no news regarding games such as Starfield, Forza Motorsport and Avowed. Instead, the games spearheading the event are Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Studio Wildcard’s ARK: Survival Ascended and many more.

Undoubtedly, Alan Wake 2 will garner the most attention in the Xbox Partner Preview as Remedy Entertainment will finally release a launch trailer ahead of its official launch on October 27th. It is a long time coming for the psychological horror classic that gained fame 13 years ago for its chilly depiction of the genre. For more information about Alan Wake 2, you can read about it here. 

While Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and ARK: Survival Ascended may not exceed the fame of Alan Wake 2, they are not pushovers. For instance, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth prequel Yakuza: Like a Dragon is one of the highest-rated turn-based RPG role-playing games on Steam with a 10/10 rating. Moreover, the latter is a remake of the well-received ARK: Survival Evolved, released in 2015 and is poised for release soon.
