Xbox One Launch Launch Countdown Airs Thursday Night
Posted on June 6, 2014 at 8:12 am
Last Thursday night, Sony held an hour-long countdown event in Ny for the launch of the PlayStation 4. The development was jam-packed with developer interviews, previews, or even just a few announcements, comparable to the exclusive PlayStation mission for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, the discharge date for Infamous: Second Son, and the reveal that a brand new Uncharted game is in development. The hype even seems to were justified, as Sony announced this weekend that it sold over a million PlayStation 4 consoles on launch day within the U.S. and Canada.
This week it’s Microsoft’s turn. The corporate announced today that it’ll also hold a televised, hour-long Xbox One launch countdown special starting at 11 pm EST on Thursday, November 21.
Titled the “Xbox One Countdown To Launch,” the show can be broadcast on Spike TV. The show may also be streaming online on the GameTrailers website, Xbox.com, and thru Xbox Survive the Xbox 360.
Unlike Sony, Microsoft has not teased that its countdown broadcast would be the source of any new Xbox One announcements. Instead, the show will feature live interviews and previews from Microsoft’s big Xbox One launch parties in Ny and L.A. It is going to also include musical performances from Deadmau5 and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, in addition to some performance art with Dead Rising 3-style zombies invading Times Square.
Along with the countdown announcement, Microsoft has released three short teasers for the show. Each is themed around an Xbox One-exclusive launch title, with Ryse: Son of Rome, Forza 5, and Dead Rising 3 all represented:
