Hold onto your hats, set your sundials (I actually don’t know if that’s possible), and book in that time off work…a new Xbox Partner Preview event is coming THIS WEEK!

That’s right, Microsoft have officially announced that the March Xbox Partner Preview event will be coming Wednesday 6 March, at 10am Pacific Time (PT), 1pm Eastern Time (ET), and 6pm UK time (GMT).

You will be able to watch it across all Xbox’s channels on YouTube and Twitch. Microsoft has promised that it will feature updates on a variety of Xbox and Windows games that are coming soon.

They didn’t give us a full running order (keep some secrets obviously!) but they did tell us we can expect updates from Capcom, Nexon and EA over the course of the 30 minute event. Games mentioned include:

• Tales of Kenzera: Zau – learn more about combat and traversal, with a video narrated by Abubakar Salim (the actor behind Bayek in Assassin’s Creed Origins, and lead for Tales of Kenzera). Check out the reveal trailer below:

• Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess – featuring new gameplay. For a reminder, check out the reveal trailer below:

• The First Berseker: Khazan – a closer look following the original reveal at last year’s Game Awards. Refresh yourself with the reveal trailer.

For full details about accessibility options, head over to the Xbox Wire post about the event.

How we feeling about this? Following Xbox’s excellent Developer Direct in January, I’m keen to see what else is coming to Xbox. Is there anything you’d like to see updates from in particular.

Of course, we must temper our expectations but are there any surprises you’re expecting too?
