The event will take place on November 15 Xbox Anniversary Celebration, in which Microsoft will celebrate 20 years of the debut of the first Xbox. And as those responsible have said, “we will not see announcements of new games during the presentation.” But that does not mean that there are no surprises …
Technically it could be advertised the return of backward compatibility to Xbox, on standby For two long years, since they would not be “announcements of new games”, but of classic Xbox and Xbox 360 games. And the truth is that each week that passes this is taking more shape due to the latest leaks, now with the proof of the card of the ill-fated The First Templar from 2011.
As you have collected WalkingCat from Twitter, a common for this class of leaks, and with subsequent User Nick capture Before his file disappeared, we can clearly see the file of the aforementioned Haemimont Games game to make it clear that it can be play from Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S thanks to backward compatibility. Plus with the sleek new Microsoft Store design.
It is not the only one, since a few days ago the aforementioned leaker showed the token from another game (considerably less popular and of poorer quality), based on a TV show: Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader. And here it should be remembered that at the beginning of October the first leaks by means of the aforementioned Nick (from the XboxEra medium) when he found data from several games of the first Xbox before his tokens were withdrawn from the store. The titles in this case were these:
- Advent Rising
- Chicken little
- Dead or Alive 3
- Dead or Alive Ultimate
- Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers
- Gladius
- Gunvalkyrie
Microsoft already said that it stopped backward compatibility in mid-2019 to focus fully on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, apart from later features like FPS Boost. He never said it was a permanent stop And that the 20th anniversary of Xbox is just around the corner sounds like the perfect excuse to return to backward compatibility, without a doubt.
And hopefully all these Xbox 360 classics are included …
