\tAnd it happens on 23 January here in Australia. <\/p>\n

A new Xbox January Developer Direct is scheduled for 23 January here in Australia, and promises looks at\u00a0Fable<\/a>, Forza Horizon 6<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0Beast of Reincarnation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Playground Games will be doing a lot of the direct\u2019s heavy lifting, responsible for both\u00a0Fable\u00a0and\u00a0Forza Horizon 6.\u00a0Pokemon\u2018s Game Freak will also feature of course, as it\u2019s the studio developing\u00a0Beast of Reincarnation.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresented by the game creators themselves, Developer_Direct will once again give you an inside look at not just the games, but the studios working to bring them to life,\u201d Microsoft said of the stream. \u201cFittingly for Xbox\u2019s 25th anniversary year, that includes the return of some of our most legendary franchises, which rub shoulders with a brand new title from one of Japan\u2019s most beloved studios.\u201d<\/p>\n

The stream starts at 5.00 am AEDT on 23 January here in Australia, which corresponds to 10am Pacific, 1pm Eastern, or 6pm GMT the day before, 22 January. You can check your own timezone right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how long the show will last for, but we\u2019ll be reporting on all the news after the event. We\u2019ll have a video embed for you when it\u2019s available. In the meantime, will you be waking up early for this one? Why or why not?<\/p>\n
