Microsoft has released its first-party game lineup. Although most of them do not have specific release dates, Microsoft has concentrated a large number of games in the second half of 2024, after all, there is still a Christmas holiday in Europe and the United States. However, Obsidian Entertainment's new RPG "The Oath", which was originally scheduled to be launched this year, has been officially postponed to February 18, 2025. The reason is naturally to give players who are facing a large number of games to start in the second half of the year a little buffer time.



In the second half of this year, Microsoft released new games including "Indiana Jones: The Ancient Circle", "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6", "ARA: The Untold History", "Age of Mythology: The Retelling", "Towerborne", "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024", and "World of Warcraft", "Diablo 4" and "Starfield" follow-up updates. It seems that Microsoft already has a lot of first-party games. "The Oath", which was originally scheduled to be released in the fall of this year, has also been scheduled by Microsoft to February next year. Perhaps for Microsoft, February next year is relatively "quiet", and "The Oath" is needed to hold the scene. New works such as "Fable", "South of Midnight" and "Doom: Dark Age" may not debut at the beginning of the year.





However, the delay also gave "The Oath" more development time. Previously, Jez Corden of Windows Central revealed that Obsidian Entertainment is getting support from Microsoft's Xbox technical team and The Coalition to transfer the game project to Unreal Engine 5.3. Perhaps "The Oath" we see next year will be a little different.
