It is speculated that a new Astro **** game may be announced.

Xbox Games Showcase will reveal details on upcoming games like Treyarch’s Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 and MachineGames’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. While it is already known that there will be no new PS exclusive sequels to existing titles like Ghost of Tsushima or The Last of Us this year, fans still expected to see something new.
