Xbox Developer Direct kicks off 2025 with Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, Clair Obscur, and a "surprise" fourth game

A close-up of the Doom Slayer in the upcoming PC game, Doom: The Dark Ages.

Microsoft has now dated its next Xbox Developer Direct showcase for January 23, where developers themselves will get on camera to give us the rundown on medieval prequel Doom: The Dark Ages, third-person action-platformer South of Midnight, turn-based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and a "surprise" brand new game that's currently under wraps - all launching into Game Pass.

Per the Xbox Wire announcement, the show will be available to stream on YouTube and Twitch on January 23 at 10am PT, 1pm ET, and 6pm for those in the UK. Following the show's usual format, we'll be map-hopping between the different studios to get more gameplay clips, trailers, and dev vlogs. People from the Canada-based We Happy Few makers Compulsion Games, the Texas-based id Software wizards, and the French-located Sandfall Interactive will all be on-camera.
