With just under two months until the main event, Microsoft has begun teasing what fans can expect from the publisher during its showing at E3 2015 in June. Specifically, that early buzz is being generated by Head of Xbox Phil Spencer, who took to Twitter to answer a handful of fan questions about all things Microsoft. It was there that the executive revealed that the company has an all-new, exclusive IP waiting in the wings.
Here’s what Spencer had to share through his official feed:
@Masih3KA We should have new exclusive IP at E3. I’m trying to make this E3 more about 1st party than past E3s.

@thekeenpaladin This is going to be a fun year. I think it might be our best 1st party content year ever.

While it’s hardly surprising that Microsoft has a brand new property to showcase at what is ostensibly the biggest event on the industry’s calendar, it’s still a tantalizing tease from the Xbox boss. Interestingly, it appears as though Microsoft’s E3 presentation will double down on projects coming from first-party studios, and Spencer even went so far as to say that 2015 could be the best year for the company to date.
So, what does that mean for Xbox fans? All signs point to a Gears of War reveal finally becoming a reality, now that Black Tusk has picked up the torch from Epic Games. Of course, given that Spencer alludes to an all-new IP, it seems safe to assume that these two announcements will be rubbing shoulders with one and another on the company’s running order. But what do you think Microsoft‘s new title could possibly be?
Stay tuned to We Got This Covered over the coming weeks when we’ll have all the build-up to E3 2015 and news from the event itself, which is poised to kickoff on June 16.
