This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Xbox’s surprise Partner Preview for November just gave us new looks at 007 First Light, Reanimal, and Tides of Annihilation, as well as a good few surprises like Erosion, Zoopunk, and more.

As if we’re not just about to get a ton of gaming news from The Game Awards in less than a month, Xbox surprised us all when it announced a sudden Partner Preview focusing on third-party games. Going in, we knew a few of the highlights, including 007 First Light, Reanimal, and Tides of Annihilation, but there was a lot more there as well.

007 First Light Looks Awesome, But I’m Already Wishing It Was Like Hitman

There’s nothing quite like Hitman… not even IO Interactive’s next game.

Some of the announcements were leaked before the show (as is the case before literally every event), but there was still plenty from the Partner Preview that we didn’t know about. Let’s dive into everything that was announced.

Everything Revealed At Xbox’s November Showcase

Armatus Revealed

The first game of the show was a brand-new reveal for a game called Armatus that looks eerily similar to Returnal, but mixed with Dante’s Inferno. It’s coming at some point in 2026, and it looks pretty cool!

The Mound Revealed

Another surprise reveal, The Mound: Omen of Cthulu was the next game of the show. It’s coming Summer 2026.

Dave The Diver Is Coming To Xbox Today

Dave the Diver, one of the best indie surprises of 2023, is coming to Xbox later today. It even has the delisted Godzilla DLC.

Crowsworn Looks Like Hollow Knight With A Gun

If Silksong wasn’t quite enough 2D goodness for you, then Crowsworn might be the game for you. There’s no date on it just yet, though.

Echo Generation 2 Revealed

One of the creepier games of the showcase was Echo Generation 2, a turn-based game with a trailer that seemed to be narrated by Alan Wake’s voice actor. Don’t quote me on that, though.

Vampire Crawlers Announced, And I Say Goodbye To My Free Time

I hope you weren’t fooled by a fake realistic trailer that actually seemed pretty cool, as Vampire Crawlers is a spin-off of the beloved Vampire Survivors. I’m already in.

007 First Light

We’ve seen a good deal of 007 First Light already thanks to the State of Play, but it turns out that PlayStation isn’t the only one showcasing it. The quick trailer just focused on the game’s Aston Martin, though, so a little disappointing unless you’re a car aficionado.

Roadside Research Is Coming Early 2026

It wouldn’t be a showcase without a patently weird game, and that’s exactly what Roadside Research is. It’s coming early 2026.

Total Chaos Shadowdropped, Looks Like Creepy Doom

If you wanted Amnesia vibes, then the incredibly creepy and Doom-esque Total Chaos is the game for you. Literally, since it’s out on consoles later today!

Reanimal Gets A Release Date And A Playable Demo

After strangely having its collector’s edition revealed instead of a release date at THQ Nordic’s Summer show, the Partner Preview gave us a new look at Reanimal and a release date of February 13, 2026. That sadly leaked before the show, but still nice to get confirmation.

Erosion Lets You Use A Chicken As A Weapon, So I’m Sold

I wasn’t sure what to make of Erosion at first, but it looks like a great dungeon crawler-esque game. It’s coming next year.

Zoopunk Revealed, Has One Of The Best Game Names Ever

Without a doubt, one of the stranger reveals of the show, Zoopunk has you playing as a badass bunny bounty hunter. The combat looks a little slow so far, but the world has me hooked.

Clover Pit Is Coming To Consoles Today

One of this year’s biggest indie surprises, Clover Pit, is coming to consoles later today. Hell of a shadowdrop, and it’s even getting DLC.

Eminem Is Becoming A Target In Hitman: World Of Assassination

As if being playable in Fortnite wasn’t enough, Slim Shady is about to become an Elusive Target in Hitman: World of Assassination. Will the real… yeah, you get it.

Tides of Annihilation was quite a nice surprise when it was revealed earlier this year and, even though it’s a ways off, we just got a new look at it. The boss fight we saw was very hectic, so it’s definitely one to watch.

Raji: Kaliyuga Revealed To End The Show

One of the longer trailers of the whole showcase was Raji: Kaliyuga, a follow-up to the original game. It was also the final announcement of a fairly decent show!
