Microsoft has revealed its second 2024 gaming showcase, which will focus entirely on concepts from its third-party partners. March 6 at 1 PM ET is when the second Partner Preview stream is scheduled to take place. With over a dozen new trailers from publishers like Capcom, Nexon, and EA, it will run for about thirty minutes.
For the showcase, three games have been confirmed. Next month, EA will release Tales of Kenzera: Zau, a 2D Metroidvania game. In it, we’ll learn more about combat and traversal. The game’s creative lead, Abubakar Salim, is also the voice of Bayek in Assassin’s Creed Origins. He will also be narrating the Partner Preview trailer.
In addition, we’ll see gameplay from Capcom’s strategy-action game Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess and The First Berserker: Khazan, an action RPG from Nexon. Microsoft is also promising details on more titles that are bound for Xbox, PC and Game Pass. This is a common refrain every time one of these streams takes place, but since we know it’s coming to Game Pass on its release day, perhaps this will finally be when we learn more about Hollow Knight: Silksong.
You’ll be able to watch the stream on Xbox channels on YouTube and Twitch (YouTube streams will be available in 4K, but Twitch is limited to 1080p). Microsoft says it will make the showcase available in more than 40 languages, including American Sign Language, British Sign Language and English Audio Descriptions. For the first time, Microsoft will offer versions of an Xbox stream in Bengali, Māori, Punjabi (Gurmukhi), Swahili, Tamil, Urdu and Zulu.
