Microsoft could be looking to make a whole bunch of potentially huge announcements at E3 2013 next week if a leaked screengrab of the platform-holder's schedule for the show turns out to be kosher.

Spotted by a forumite on NeoGAF, the image is of unknown origin, so could well be fake. But given that some of the listed games are real and have been formerly announced, it could equally be the real deal.

In the image, you'll see Forza Motorsport 5 and Quantum Break, which have previously been announced for Xbox One. There's also Halo: Spartan Assault, which we happen to know is an actual thing. Come back tomorrow for answers on that one.

Banjo-Kazooie, Halo 5, Dead Rising 3 and Fable IV also feature in the image, indicating that if the picture is real, Microsoft could be gearing up for a barnstorming E3 presser. Here's the list of games according to the NeoGAF post:

  • Halo 5
  • Killer Instinct
  • Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty Land
  • Forza Motorsport 5
  • Quantum Break
  • Halo: Spartan Assault
  • Ryse
  • Fable IV
  • Crackdown 3
  • Fortnite
  • Dead Rising 3
  • Call of Duty: Ghosts
  • Battlefield 4
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
  • Dying Light
  • Prey 2
  • Homefront 2
  • Beyond Good & Evil 2
  • Mirror's Edge 2
  • Rainbow 6: Patriots
  • Brother in Arms: Furious Four
  • League of Legends

Of course, as nothing has been confirmed as yet, file this one under 'rumour'. All will be officially revealed at E3 in La La Land next week.

  • Killer Instinct & Crackdown 3...Yes please! Have to familiar myself with some of the other titles before I can comment on those...
  • Beyond Good & Evil 2?!?! Sold!
  • So much wow, wouldn't be surprised if this was true.
  • I'll flip my shit if they announce a new Killer Instinct.
  • That's a whole lot of sequels.
  • I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Rainbow Six: Patriots was no longer being made. I'm not sure I believe this list.
  • Killer Instinct will be a fighter that even casual gamers alike will purchase. A lot of us (born in the 80's, raised in the 90's) can appreciate this. I'm more excited to see how the new blood is inclined to liking it.
  • killer instinct, shut up and take my money!
  • looks like a lot of multiplatform games lol
  • It's fake. Read the rest of the Neogaf postings. Whoever made this screwed up the spelling of Dead Rising 3. It would be spelled D3AD not DE3D. 3 replaces the E in "leet speak", not the A. That Halo 5 logo is also laughable at how fake it looks.
  • It's fake. The thread that had the list got locked already.
  • Some great potential in that list with games we haven't heard much about. Crackdown 3, Rainbow 6: Patriots, Mirrors Edge 2, Fable IV, and Homefront 2.
  • Oh man please let this be true. I can only image how amazing Crackdown 3 would be on the One, loved 1 and 2.
  • I don´t know where I read something about Rare bringing back an old IP and stuff, and I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT KILLER INSTINCT. OMFG, looking forward to that one.
  • Probably fake, Didn't "Brothers in Arms: Furious Four" drop the Brothers in Arms part and become "The Furious Four"?
  • plus prey 2 was just scrapped and restarted so there would be nothing to show besides 75% would be multiplat not the 15 exclusives
  • League of Legends whaaaat?
  • So...am I the only noticing League of freaking Legends on that list? o_o What could they have planned...
  • HOLY SHIT that is a list! if this doesn't swing the naysayers back, I don't know what will
  • Have they stylise Dead Rising 3 as DE3D RISING? They are aware that reads as Deed Rising right? Lol, just read #10. Amateurs. Also Fortnite was announced as PC exclusive so I'd love to see Epic Games explain it coming out on Xbone if it were true.
  • HAHAHA AS IF HOMEFRONT HAD ENOUGH SUCCESS TO PRODUCE A SEQUEL, THAT GAME WAS TERRIBLE
  • If I'm not mistaken, Fortnite (which is spelled "Fortnine" here) was confirmed as a PC only game. So this list is probably fake, as everyone is saying.
  • Lot of these are obvious anyway. New Halo, Battlefield, Witcher 3, Mirrors Edge 2. Little disappointed heard nothing about Dark Souls 2 on the next gen consoles. Maybe it is just for current gen, but might be surprised on the 10th.
  • Rainbow 6, Banjo, Crackdown, and Killer. HOT DAMN!
  • If this is true, then wow. They will make a lot of gamers happy. I will be super pissed if that Banjo game is a mini game Kinect game though.
  • Doubt that's real, but if it is holy shit Microsoft redeemed themselves real fast
  • Yeah cant say I trust that list. Im buying the one regardless. I'm sure they will make at least a couple of games worth getting at launch.
  • Of course. I mean, we NEED another fucking Halo game...
  • If this is legit. My pants will be extremely tight during E3.
  • New dead rising? YESSSS.
  • I dont trust the list either, a lot of them are multiplat and dont add up to the 15 exclusives that are just for xbox. so it's somewhat fake.
  • If only MS would let RARE make a game again :,)
  • If that's real, it's what I'd call trying to win this console war with a frigging Blitzkrieg. But that's almost too much good news to be true. It looks more like a bored kids wish list.
  • The Witcher 3 - PC Prey 2 - PC Not sure if Beyond Good And Evil 2 will come to PC, but maybe. That's pretty much the only games i want on that list.
  • #21: Crytek own the rights and are working on a sequel. This isn't a joke or a rumour. The original sold millions. When asked for a release date Crytek said "Before Fuse 2" which I just made up right now.
  • As a graphic artist I can say that the list looks fake and something anyone could mock up in about half an hour. The first thing that stood out to me was the wording "Grunty Land" is created using an Electrox font - a free font face. I could be wrong but my gut instinct says this just looks fake.
  • Killer Instinct.. please be true! Omg!!!!
  • oh shit! i heard mirror's edge 2 and dragon age 3 are xbox one exclusive games
  • Is it just me or is that list not that great? I mean some of the games on that list are already confirmed as multiplat, (COD, BF4, Dying Light, Witcher 3, etc.) So if I take the "likely exclusives", thats Banjo Kazooie, Halo's, Fable IV, Crackdown 3, etc. I loved Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, so its good to bring it back. I've always loved Halo, but since Halo 4, I'm convinced online will only keep getting worse, considering Halo 4's "lazy, cheap approach", to switching playlists every week to avoid having them all on at once. Fable 3 + Fable Move hasnt done well for the image. Crackdown I cant really comment on as I've never been interested it. The only real games that have me interested in XBone game wise are Halo's, Banjo Kazooie, Quantum Break, Beyond Good and Evil 2 and maybe Ryse (depending what its about). I just dont think its applies much to me as a gamer, could be a good thing for others, but so far for me, I think I'll only be looking into owning PS4 and if it gets an exclusive FF, (Which is perhaps FF XIII VS?), the deal is pretty much sealed for me.
  • They can keep fable 4, lionhead will not see another cent from me after their refusal to patch and fix major issues in the previous games :(
  • @36 Just because it's a free font doesn't mean it's fake. I was working at a mobile game company last year that would only let us use Google Fonts because they were free. If Mirror's Edge 2 and Killer Instinct are Xbox One exclusives, they just sold a lot of Xbox Ones.
  • Give Conker a chance.
  • @41 I understand your reply to my comment but without sounding like a cock, RARE designers can't come up with their own fonts? Look at any of your 360 game covers and just name one AAA company that has used a free-to-use font or design?
  • This list is horrible. It's full of shooters, multiplatform titles and the only 2 new ips are quantum break (not a launch title) and ryse, which we don't know anything about. I only hope killer instinct and banjo really make an appearance.
  • Same games for the past 3 years at e3. Just the number next to the game has gone up one.
  • Even if this list is fake, a lot of the games on this list were already confirmed, and some rumored at. I'll be watching E3 and crossing my fingers. Me personally, I'm excited for a new Fable and Banjo-Kazooie.
  • @43 I get what you're saying and I agree with your point that any decent designer should be able to come up with a more exciting font. It could also come down to numbers of other things though...publisher decision to do something on a stupid deadline, a lazy designer, it's temporary, tried a mockup with a free font and they liked it so why bother changing it?...many scenarios, I'm just pointing out just because they used a free font doesn't make it fake. Being a designer I'm sure you are well aware of the pickiness of art directors and managers who know nothing about art, which is all too common in the gaming industry.
  • @47 Yeah that's true, I guess my cynicism comes from the fact that all the logos are lazy looking y'know? Nothing new or fresh, they're all something that could have been easily replicated with any graphics editing software.
  • JUST TELL ME THE FUCKING PRICE!!!!
  • Homefront 2 !? YES ! The storyline was great and could've made a good movie but it all ended so quickly and it just didn't feel complete.
  • @41 well if killer instinctis ever released it would be on a ms system as they own the ips @44 if they said lol was a xbox 1 exlusive that is a new ip and it would move quite a few units
  • A list of reruns and most are not exclusives .nothing to brag about.already have a DVR cable box...
  • These would be good : Halo 5 Halo: Spartan Assault [depends what it is] These better be true: Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty Land [please be closer to 1 and 2 not 3] Crackdown 3 Dead Rising 3 Beyond Good & Evil 2
  • I actually take back #50 because although the story line could've made a great movie the gameplay was shit and I won't even talk about the multi-player.
  • League of Legends.
  • Fable 4, why are they even bother the fable game went down hill sense 2 came out.
  • @54 It was a movie, it was called Red Dawn. And I think the list is fake, mostly because LoL is PC only.
  • hows that for games you whiny assholes who didnt trust microsoft was still dedicated to its gaming community
  • @53 There is an image from the Xbox One reveal with the giant screen behind the presenter that showed a Crackdown Agility Orb, pretty much confirms it. Bottom Left corner of the monitor: http://s787.photobucket.com/user/IOnEIFalcon/media/rare_zps6adbed5a.png.html
  • League of Legends on Xbox Live? Finally, the two worst online communities meet!
  • Killer Instinct YES !!!!! it's about time.
  • @58 even if this list is correct 17 out of the 22 are sequels or prequels. Such originality for a new console where games will be £50 minium up till Xmas. New console same recycled yearly games just will look better than current console.
  • The dead rising 3 logo is spelt de3d, therefore this is fake.
  • Anybody know if they will dual release this with 360? Cause I am not buying One.
  • I'll admit, Crackdown 3 and Killer Instinct felt me. But surely Dead Rising 3 and Rainbow Six aren't exclusive?
  • seriously though how many games there aren't sequels? and how many are sequels PAST their 2nd iteration?
  • Witcher 3, Crackdown 3, Beyond Good and Evil 2, Fable 4, And Banjo Koozie. I hope this is true !
  • Yeah, it has to be fake. When people go for shitty lame "numbers in the word" thing, they don't replace a's with 3. 4's replace A, 3's replace E. "D3AD RISING", not "DE3D RISING". Both are fucking stupid though, so let's hope for a good ol' fashioned Dead Rising 3... That's also coming to PS4 so I don't have to buy an Xbone to play it. =D
  • Even though I think it is fake for all saying about dead rising 3 being de3d what about fe3r
  • Bit soon for Halo 5 I think Killer Instinct will be awesome but I dont think it'll sell that well.
  • @68 Maybe it's De3d Rising because you play a real estate agent?
  • It's the way you move, it's the way you move, it's the way you move, to the KILLER GROOVE!
  • Sweet jesus let there be another Killer Instinct
  • it was F3AR......
  • PLEASE GOD BE RIGHT!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW KILLER INSTINCT
  • @ 28 yes we NEED another halo game but i feel that it should come out in 2014 dont want a yearly halo if you dont like it then dont buy it! day one buy for me though
  • So whats Black Tusks next halo-sized franchise? Killer instinct and Banjo are both rare games btw, so I doubt they will show 2. They wouldn't show battlefield 4 and cod on the same stage. And hasn't every single game been rumoured or confirmed on this list? The creators didn't make anything.
  • Anybody notice that's not 15 exclusive games, nor are there 7 new IPs? That was what M$ said at the conference. Curious to see how it develops
  • Killer Instinct? Sold. Fable IV? Definitely. HALO 4? I'm still a fan. Dead Rising 3? Still need to play #2 but "Yay! More zombies!" Prey 2? I'll get excited when I see it.
  • Please let this list be true!
  • No diablo 3 :( :( :( Guess I have to get a ps4 also......
  • @78 No one ever said they would all be announced at E3
  • Too early for Halo 5, dammit!
  • Fuck me, League Of Legends on Xbox! I would love that, my all time favourite game. It could be great I was thinking to myself for a good while about how they could make LoL for Xbox and it could work when you look at GoME.
  • http://foxune.tumblr.com/post/52075683635/theres-the-picture-they-used-unfinished-they Truth found here
  • The reason this industry is getting worse is easily explained by reading these comments.
  • God I hope not ... sequel, sequel, sequel, sequel, some shit that'll probably flop because it's not a sequel, sequel.
  • Lots of sequels, kind of expected. That's not to say I'm not looking forward to some of them, but it'd be cool to see some new IP's.
  • I'll preorder an xb1 for killer instinct alone...hoping the rumours are true...
  • Would love to See The Witcher 3 on stage
  • Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty Land... 'Nuff Said
  • I can't even remember the last bit of legitimate news I read on here
  • Please Rare, please! Microsoft and you need to make Banjo - Kazooie 3! For science's sake, make a true sequel to Banjo - Toooie! :( I'll be so pissed if Grunty Land is some gimmicky POS.
  • PREY 2 The first was awesome. Didn't get enough attention (the single player, the multiplayer was bad)
  • Because of the recent LOTR MOBA, which is like League of Legends, it could be possible that LOL could come to X1, hopefully if it does its has cross platform gameplay (overall probably not true, but we can hope, for a week at least)
  • Killer friggin instinct!!!
  • List is bound to be a fake but it has me excited for E3 anyway. Forza and Quantum Break are the two which I'm most interested for at the moment though.
  • @96...Halo, Fable, Forza, and Crackdown are all MS exclusives and would probably remain so.
  • @28 And we need another CoD game?
  • an awesome list, lets hope its legit.
  • If you play League with a controller, you will play like a Cardboard V scrub obviously.
  • I can't see this being real. Some are on as we know them, some I do not see. For one, I thought Crackdown 2 bombed, I would be extremely surprised to see a 3.
  • XBone is going to have to come with a bar or two of gold to make me buy one. Really wanted to stay xbox loyal but too many bad things are coming in the next few weeks. Even if this list is real i won't be changing my mind.
  • All the Rare games and Deadrising 3 caught my eyes,Maybe i wont get a PS4.
  • Dead Rising 3? ok they got me sold already.
  • Halo every year, oh joy....
  • Killer Instinct???? holy cow. hope it's the first KI arcade hd verison. after 17 long years...it's finally happening. i hope this is true.
  • oh yeah....bring back Battletoads too.
  • New Banjo-kazooie :D only problem is , its on xbox one :(
  • Calling bullshit just because Beyond Good & Evil 2 would be unveiled at the Ubisoft conference and EA would talk about Battlefield 4 and Mirror's Edge 2 at their press conference. This leads me to doubt the entire list.
  • @57 while this is total bullshit LoL isnt exclusive, its actually available in beta on OsX right now
  • @111 alot of 3rd party noj exlusive games are shown at ms and sony press confrences,
  • I care more about Dead Rising 3, its probably one of the only good Zombie games out there, Dead Island is shit, and CoD is just... garbage.
  • @114 I disagree, Its the opposite for me. Dead rising is fake and shit alot less real then dead island would be.
  • Yawning.....getting bored.......
  • The whole world will be shaking if the list is true. Can't wait!!
  • If you remember back when the BBC iPlayer was voided because BBC didn't want to charge and Microsoft would only offer it to Gold (paying) members .. LoL is a F2P game, so I'm calling BS as you'd have to Pay-2-Play and a F2P game. Might be wrong, time will tell.. LoL on console? FML like the LoL community wasn't bad enough already.
  • New Banjo? Sold. As long as its like 1 and 2.
  • Banjo, Rainbow patriots, mirrors edge 2, fable 4 if it's like 2, witcher 3, dead rising 3 and crackdown 3 for me
  • Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Halo 5 Killer Instinct Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty Land Forza Motorsport 5 Quantum Break Ryse Fable IV Crackdown 3 Fortnite Dead Rising 3 Call of Duty: Ghosts Battlefield 4 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Dying Light Prey 2 Homefront 2 Beyond Good & Evil 2 Mirror's Edge 2 Rainbow 6: Patriots Brother in Arms: Furious Four For me!!! :D
  • Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty Land, Killer Instinct, Prey 2, Raindow Six: Patriots, Mirror's Edge 2, Beyond Good & Evil 2, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Quantum Break is most important Xbox One games I look forward to. :):):)
  • Rest of other games I mention for me!! So I look forward and exciting to get them. But 2nd comment I mention is most important games to watch for me. :D
  • BANJO KAZOOIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Great List if true but, where the hell is Allan Wake 2..?
  • i want dance central 4 T-T
  • BANJOOOOOOOO KAZOOOOIEEE , and FABLE IV.. Done. I'm buying The One
  • @118 Microsoft always free to play for gold member games now, happy wars for a example and excension the rpg is another one coming that's f2p
  • Oh man, if the Banjo game rumor is true, then I am buying an Xbox One at launch. Simple as. The only thing that would make me doubt this list is Beyond Good and Evil 2, and Mirror's Edge 2; aka two games that always come up every time E3 comes around.
  • @125: Sadly, it was confirmed by the devs about 2 weeks back that AW2 is not happening. As for this list, I pray that it's real. Xbox One day one purchase if they're true. I just hope a new Banjo Kazooie game is more like the first two on N64
  • All in for some Crackdown!
  • If Diablo3 would be on xboxone I would be so happy.
  • Dead Rising 3 ^.^
  • Even though this is a great list & I repeat...a GREAT list, I'll still wait for E3 for confirmation before I get my hopes up.
  • Crossing my fingers, but that would be a surprise if they announced Borderlands 3!
  • The list is fake, however, the games aren't at least most of them are already confirmed or rumored... so relax, i mean, probably all but one of these games ARE coming soon. Thing is none of the xbox exclusives do anything for me... which is all the more reason to buy the system that allows me to buy these game from gamestop/ebay for less a year down the road... All the good games on this list are multiplat anyways. Also might as well add Dark Souls 2 to the list.. its coming March 2014, so being on the One and PS4 is almost a given... IS Halo, Fable and Forza still relevant? Alot of ppl are gonna hate me saying this, but Halo has always been an average shooter at best... 4 did get a sweet graphics update, i will admit. The reason why Halo is so popular is theres like this entire generation that lost their fps virginity to Halo 2. You know, that first time you played a fps, and the style blew you away, and were glued til the end, and couldn't wait to play the next one.. and thats why it became so popular... I mean , i'm older, so i played a ton of fps, and lost my fps virginity to the likes of Quake, Half Life 1, and Quake 2. Back in the day, my buddy would always tell me how his xbox and his Halo 2 were the shit.. and I would go over and play it, and kinda wished I was home playing Timesplitters 2 to be honest...
  • Rare is positively dropping something big they've mentioned to keep an eye out at E3 I was thinking Killer Instinct because that was teased in Banjo Nuts and Bolts, but it could very well be another Banjo or hell another Perfect Dark to launch like 360 did. Fable 4 would be a great thing, or so I hope, just like I hoped with 2 and 3 but those still couldn't compare to Lost Chapters. Crackdown wouldn't be a surprise it has potential still didn't like 2 but 3 could make a come back. Still gotta say fake just hoping that the fake could be accurate predictions for some of those.
  • Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty Land Are you f..cking me what the hell , bringing kids titles to the next Gen Ugh here we go again That game so sucks !!!
  • A real shame as so many of the readers of this site are abandoning the platform over their own little jumped-up sense of entitlement from Xbox and Microsoft. They'll miss out on some of these title. *Sheds a tear*.
  • D3ad Rising and Crackdown 3? Take my money!!!
  • Banjo-Kazooie? Please, please be like 1 and 2 and not Nuts and Bolts. Then I may actually need an Xbox One. If that's the case, I'll buy the PS4 along with it. Other than BK, nothing here interests me much, and I doubt Beyond Good and Evil 2 will be exclusive. Maybe it will be, but I doubt it.
  • I just want Killer Instinct, please. Now.
  • Ok Killer Instinct Dead Rising 3 and Crackdown 3, *Hands over wallet* take what you want please and give me NOW!
  • Did Microsoft say at the reveal that the One will have 15 games released in its first year with 8 new exclusives? Doesn't that alone make this list invalid?
  • League of Legends coming to X1? o_0 I wonder how that will work out!
  • Shame there's no left 4 dead 3
  • My favorite part of watching this unfold is how many people didn't look at the NeoGAF thread or read any of the comments here. The list is fake. 1. Dead Rising's logo starts "DE3", that implies it's called DEED RISING. The correct thing would be D3AD, not DE3D. 2. That Halo 5 logo. 3. The Banjo-Kazooie logo is from 2012, so I mean, if you want to tell me it leaked back then, by all means: http://banjo-comet.com/news/37-banjo-et-kazooie-4-gruntyland.php 4. The same guy who posted this on GAF claims Capcom's going all out on all 3 platforms having exclusives. DR3 for XBO, Dragon's Dogma 2 for PS4 and Darkstalkers (a new one) for Wii U. @#138 - You're an idiot. What does "next gen" have to do with kid's games? And the only people who play Banjo-Kazooie are people who played it when they themselves were kids. You realize video games are toys, right? Or do you honestly think Xbox is an adults-only brand and cling to that whole "I'm mature because I have an Xbox" mindset from early 2000s?
  • @144 they said 15 exclusives, 8 new IP.
  • Im sold at Halo and Beyond good and evil.
  • These are the games I'm excited for: Halo 5 (Wish that Spartan Ops in Halo 4 wasn't for gold members only) Fable IV (Hope they fix the issues for fable 3) Call of Duty: Ghosts (wish the DLC for Call of Duty games would go down) Battlefield 4(hopefully they won't have a activation code for online) Homefront 2 Brother in Arms: Furious Four (loved Brother in Arms: Hell's Highway) Hopefully they will have the games available for the xbox 360 because I will probably not get the xbox one until it goes down in price alot.
  • I think this is fake given that Spartan assault has been revealed as a phone game. Or does it???
  • Since the franchise was purchased years ago, Killer Instinct has been rumored. I would die if this is finally the year! Bring on Killer Instinct!!
  • Just give us Half-Life 3 and I'll be happy...
  • I pray that this is real and not some trick. Beyond Good and Evil 2, I've been waiting for years. and Dead Rising 3!! Crackdown 3!! although I did hear somewhere that the team that makes Crackdown was closed, and there wouldn't be another one, after everyone though the 2nd was a disappointment although I thought it was better than the first in every way. And De3d Rising 3 does look weird. And I'm not really into Halo, but that logo does look very dumb. Like I said, I hope this is real, but I won't hope too much.
  • Omg. Yes. Fable IV
  • So fake, my grandmother could make a more convincing Photoshop image.
  • A most informative thread… So, graphic artists don't use free fonts, and R6 Patriots isn't being made even though it's slated to release three months from now… Anyway, we'll know for sure in less than a week, so let's all calm down…
  • i guess most games were shown indeed :)
