A new Xbox livestream has been announced specifically focused on this title, marking the world premiere of the series' next entry. Scheduled for Thursday, April 16 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET, fans can tune in via a YouTube Premiere on the official Xbox channel to witness the first look at what is being developed by 4A Games.
The Fourth Mainline Entry in a Beloved Series
This upcoming release represents the fourth mainline entry in the franchise, which has long been celebrated for its immersive storytelling and gritty atmosphere.
