More rumors of an Xbox May event have popped up.
Microsoft is rumored to be hosting a May event, where it will reveal new games and a possible first look at the less expensive, disc-less Xbox Series X dubbed Lockhart.
Today’s rumor comes courtesy of Windows Central, which states Xbox Series X Lockhart is ready for Xbox employees to test at home, similar to how company employees started testing Project xCloud on PC back in March. During this time, it’s said staff will be providing feedback on the console, which indicates to Windows Central it won’t be long before the rumored console is revealed to the public. It is also said in May Microsoft will announce new Surface hardware.
The outlet is quick to point out Lockhart may not be announced in May, but with staff taking the console home for testing, combined with the Surface rumor, an early May reveal could be possible.
If the May event rumors are true, we can at least expect to hear more about Xbox One Series X and new titles being developed by Microsoft Studios, according to the report.
If that’s the case, it’s possible Microsoft could finally announce the long-rumored Fable reboot from Playground Games. Last we heard, the studio went on a hiring spree, recruiting developers whose previous work includes Metal Gear Solid and GTA 5. The studio also hired former BioWare, Rockstead, Ninja Theory, Guerrilla Games, and EA Motive developers.
