While those responsible at Microsoft continue to strive for the takeover of Activision Blizzard, the merger with Bethesda has been dry for some time. It also means that the majority of upcoming titles will be exclusive to Xbox and PC. These include, for example, Starfield and Redfall, which are currently planned for 2023. However, a document now reveals that Bethesda and Microsoft will provide some more games with exclusivity.
Which titles are they?
At the moment, however, the companies are still keeping a secret about the next games. In the statement from Microsoft, which was last shared as part of the FTC process for the acquisition of Activision, the titles have been blacked out. A total of three games will be made unrecognizable for the time being. So far, one can only speculate as to which projects could be behind it. But there are already candidates.

What is Bethesda working on right now?
Microsoft only provides a single hint in the document. The secret titles will mainly be playable alone or in co-op. We currently know that Bethesda is busy with highlights like The Elder Scrolls 6. The makers of MachineGames (known for Wolfenstein) have already confirmed their next project with Indiana Jones. Of course, it is also possible that the three titles are still completely unknown games that are yet to be unveiled.
When is there news from Microsoft?
After numerous studios used the Game Awards stage to give a glimpse of the upcoming games, Microsoft was not represented at the ceremony. Apparently, there is no reason for fans to worry. According to insiders, the Xbox company seems to be busy planning its own event. There is no date yet, but we can supposedly expect it as early as the beginning of 2023.
