The past month of June was full of video game conferences that began with the famous Summer Game Fest. Shortly after, other different conferences were taking place, among which the presentation of Xbox and Bethesda. Considering the huge number of titles that were shown at said event, it would be strange to think that Microsoft still has material to show at the next Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022. However, a recent leak invites us to think that those from Redmond have indeed saved a little surprise for this day.
Gamescon Opening Live will take over from Summer Game Fest
After organizing the Summer Game Fest, the journalist Geoff Keighley has a new appointment to show the world the latest news from the world of videogames. The event will take place in Germany between Monday 22 and Sunday 28 August. However, the strong part of the appointment will be the Opening Live 2022, which will take place on July 23 and that promises to be a conference of a couple of hours in which we will see even more news.
We know absolutely nothing about which video games could be presented that day - and we assume that the organization will work to prevent something like the leaking of video games from happening again. The Last of Us a few minutes from the event a couple of months ago. However, on the hardware side, it is possible that Microsoft something has escaped.
A new Xbox controller at Gamescon?
Microsoft has a good track record of leaks of its controls for consoles before the official announcements. If we go back a bit, the white Xbox Series X controller appeared on Internet forums long before the company announced it. The exact same thing happened with the Xbox Adaptive Controller. The peripheral for people with reduced mobility appeared on the Internet shortly before being officially announced.
Well, something like that has happened again with him. xbox elite 2. Although they have kept it completely secret, a mysterious user has appeared on YouTube who has in his possession a box with a white knob with black grips. The user has made a unboxing in the video, and it doesn't appear to be a montage. The video comes after an all-white Xbox Elite 2 handheld turned up in a US store earlier this year.
Taking into account the proximity between these events and Gamescon, it is possible that Microsoft takes advantage of this event to present this new variant of Xbox Elite Wireless Controller 2. In fact, the idea of thinking about Gamescon to make this announcement is not by chance. The original white Xbox Elite controller was presented by the company right during this event in 2018. Microsoft has already confirmed that it will attend this new edition, so it seems obvious that this controller will be presented to all players there. Of course, everything indicates that Geoff is going to have to get used to being ruined by surprises.
