If you thought Microsoft's Xbox Series X event this week was going to be a proper showcase of "Halo Infinite" game footage, prepare to be disappointed Microsoft is expected to show off only next-generation games from third-party developers on May 7

Following a tweet from the official Xbox account, Aaron Greenberg, Microsoft's general manager of Xbox game marketing, announced that an Xbox Series X game reveal event will be held this week, where "partners" will show off their next-generation console's He tweeted that they will be showing off their gameplay Microsoft plans to hold its own showcase later in the summer

This is not to say that "Halo Infinite" will not be an Xbox Series X launch title It just means that we won't get to see the game in person on May 7 This will be a bit of a disappointment for Halo fans, as next-generation Halo gameplay was one of the things they were hoping to see at the first Xbox Series X game showcase

"This show is intended as a typical pre-E3 beat and first look at Xbox Series X gameplay from our partners," Greenberg further explained on Twitter

"We'll have plenty to share this summer and into the holidays

So it looks like Microsoft is staggering the release of the next generation of games somewhat This is probably because developers were working to announce their games at E3 2020 in June before the Coronavirus outbreak caused E3 2020 to be canceled Some developers may have game footage to unveil around June, but the May event may have been too early

Which games will we see: the Xbox Series X's Assasin's Creed Valhalla Valhalla) will be shown at the May 7 event, and we can expect to see how bloodthirsty Viking warriors mix with the clandestine nature of a secret guild of assassins

We would also love to see game footage of "Cyberpunk 2077" coming to the Xbox Series X as well as the Xbox One We hope that Microsoft will show us how the Xbox Series X's ray tracing capabilities can be applied to CD Projekt Red's next big RPG

More footage of "Watch Dogs Legion" and "Rainbox Six Seige" for the Xbox Series X could be in the works, and if EA decides to attend Microsoft's next-gen event, we may even get a glimpse of what's next for the "Battlefield" series We may be able to get a glimpse of what's next for the "Battlefield" series
