Kicking of gamescom 2017 in Cologne, Germany, Microsoft showed us a bevy of new trailers for upcoming games including an impressive CGI trailer for Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed instalment, Assassin’s Creed Origins and the world exclusive reveal of Jurassic World: Evolution.
They also announced the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition which has the famous codename for the console emblazoned on the controller and the console itself. It also has a “dynamic graphic pattern” on the shell of the console and the box it comes is designed to give a subtle nod to the original Xbox’s design.
The limited edition console is available for pre-order right now.
The amount of games which are going to be enhanced for the Xbox One X has now also grown to over 100 titles which Larry Hryb has published over on his site here.
The Xbox One X is launching November 7th for €499.
There was a Minecraft Xbox One S Limited Edition console announced during the show as well for all you Minecraft fans out there which also comes bundled with some nice Minecraft DLC. You can pro-order the bundle right now and the custom console will be available on October 3rd.
