Microsoft won’t be appearing at Gamescom this year which is major disappointment for German fans. Last time we saw Microsoft we attending E3 2016. According to Phil Spencer will have something to say before the year is out.
His statement indicates that Microsoft may host a PlayStation Experience like event.
@BeastFireTimdog I’ll miss Gamescom but @aarongreenberg will be there. We will have things to say this Fall, we’ll find the right times.

@ScorpioP3 I want to visit some fans I haven’t visited before and we have some things to say before end of 2016 so we’ll find the times.

@PIxelGamerUK Yes, we use to do this with the X0 events, like X09 etc in Europe, I like those.

It seems the trend of attending third party events is slowly dying. Companies now prefer hosting their own event and speaking directly to their own fan base. Sony is also skipping this year’s Gamescom so we’ll be seeing Sony at PlayStation Experience in December.
Microsoft didn’t outright confirm its own event but these tweets are a very good indication. Even if there isn’t a “Xbox Experience” this Fall, at least we know that Microsoft will be sharing more about its games future plans before the end of 2016.
Which games would like Microsoft to discuss this Fall? Do you think the return of Alan Wake is possible? Share what you think in the comment below.
