Microsoft's keynote at the Tokyo Game Show has just ended, and with it came several announcements, including at least two major ones:
- Tekken 6 will be released on the Xbox 360. This will be the first time that a Tekken game has arrived on a non-Sony platform (not counting arcade). Release is set for fall 2009.
- The speculation is over regarding Bungie's next Halo project. Halo 3: Recon has been confirmed as a Halo 3 campaign expansion, (a "standalone-expansion" according to xbox.com), where the player plays as an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper and will also include new multiplayer maps. Release is set for fall 2009. Check out the new trailer at Bungie's website here.
Other highlights of the Microsoft keynote:
- Last Remnant will premier exclusively on Xbox 360 on Nov 20, 2008.
- Star Ocean: The Last Hope will arrive on Xbox 360 February 19, 2009 in Japan and March 3, 2009 in North America.
- Ninety Nine Nights 2 was announced exclusively for Xbox 360.
- Space Invaders: Extreme, Arkanoid: Live, King of Fighters Ultimate 98, Metal Slug 7 and R-Type all were announced for Xbox Live.
- The "New Xbox Live Experience," (NXE) will launch November 19 2008 globally, (that's the new blades system and avatars, etc.)
- The Flood have been announced as a race in Halo Wars, which is set for an "early 2009" release.
