For more than 20 years, Microsoft has dreamed of moving from the office to the living room.... With Xbox One, Microsoft's Trojan horse has opened, and its living-room victory is imminent.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
cause everyone wants to watch tv on a console thats probably in their room and not watch ACTUAL tv with their family or on the family big screen in the living room with ACTUAL cable from a cable box. /s
At this point I'm going to say that title seems extremely unlikely.
Gamers will be the main audience of Xbox and atm it seems they strongly prefer PS4. And non gamers who they think want it for the TV features are NEVER going to pay $500 plus a monthly fee.
You can get a Google TV box for $99 that does basically the same thing with no monthly fee. Add to that the fact that even low/mid range TV's are coming with built in Google TV. As well as Blu-ray players that have built in Google TV.
I'd bet against MS on this issue.
No
It depends on what your point of view of ''living room'' is. I think of living room as a way to access your content easily and let others view it with you. Although I really don't buy all of that ''instant'' jazz that the Xbox One has going, it seems like a great option to those who want a cable-box/game-console option, although if the people who are attracted to that sort of thing, they would consider an Apple TV/Ouya combo(which is still cheaper than the Xbox One). That's the reason I game in my entertainment room, because I doubt my family wants to see me get eaten alive by clickers(Im playing the Last of Us).
There should be a 'murica' tag so gamers can filter out all TV/sports/dog stuff.
