Still advances on Xbox One: update, white console games being released

The new "deep throat" by NeoGAF seems not to want to stop: after tonight's information on Halo and Crackdown and one on Xbox One Titanfall Edition , ntkrnl continued to release information about the future of Microsoft revealing details on the next update, on a future Special Edition console and on some of the games being released. Let's see what it revealed.

We speak first of the console next update: according to insider will come in March (probably before the release of Titanfall) and it will solve many problems related to Xbox Live users have complained about, such as the management of group chat, as well as improving the overall usability of the interface. The update also settle other troubles of the operating system.

Ntkrnl reveals that Microsoft plans to release, probably in October, an Xbox One limited edition all-white, similar to that produced at launch to employees, to sell bundled with Sunset Overdrive . And it seems that the production of "special" console won't stop here: apparently Microsoft will produce an edition of the console with 1 TB hard drive, and it even seems that you are considering the possibility of a second version of the console with no optical drive, and then only to digital content for sale at reduced price.

Let's see what game told us: we list the information in a quick reading list.

  • Halo : beyond what revealed tonight, you added the information that Halo 2 Anniversary will be sold in a Special Edition "War Collection", which will also include the port of Halo 3 and 4 for Xbox One. In this case it should be direct ported into HD, without the whole process of redesign that will be done on the Anniversary. H2 Anniversary has also multiplayer, it is not clear however if the original.
  • Horizon Force : coming to the end of the year, probably September. The game will show a spectacular dynamic climate system and many social features and co/op to run with friends. All at 1080 p.
  • Quantum Break : coming up at the end of the year, probably in November.
  • Sunset Overdrive : coming up at the end of the year.
  • Black Tusk : the project cancelled Canadian study, now working on GoW, was called "Shangheist" (a pun between Shanghai and Heist, robbery).
  • Fable Legends : will arrive in the summer of 2015.
  • Gears of War : the development will last probably 2 years and a half, so we could see it in 2016
  • Titanfall : the first DLC coming 45 days after the release of the game, then we get another after four months from launching.
  • Crackdown 3 : probably this year there will be no official announcements related to the game.
  • Platinum Games : Bayonetta authors and MGS Revengeance are at work on an Xbox Title One, code-named "Project Nagano", scheduled for March 2016.

In addition to this, ntkrnl also revealed the timing of release of Xbox One in those countries that have not yet been received: there will be two different launches, one in April and one in October. In this post are listed all the countries covered by the two launches, among which are not mentioned our cousins. But it is likely to be included in the launch in April.

For now: we will update if there will be other news and a reminder that this is still unconfirmed rumor: seem extremely plausible but there's always the chance that some of these things do not come true.
