Many have suspected that Microsoft would talk about its next Xbox at its E3 event, and that now appears to be virtually guaranteed.
Microsoft has started teasing its next-generation console, codenamed “Scarlet” ahead of the company’s pre-E3 keynote presentation in Los Angeles. First spotted on Twitter, Xbox’s E3 Countdown videos seemingly hints at the launch of the next-generation Xbox console during Microsoft’s E3 2019 presser.
Each of Microsoft’s E3 countdown videos has a secret code written on the left-hand corner. One video shows R255, another video has G 36 and the third video has B O. When we put together, this forms the RGB (255, 36, 0) color code for Scarlet.
Microsoft has already confirmed that the next-generation Xbox console is in the development. The console may come in two variants: a high-end model codenamed Anaconda, and a cloud-based console codenamed Lockhart.
Microsoft is holding its pre-E3 press event on June 9 at 1pm PST (1:30am IST, Monday, June 10). Hopefully, we will learn more about the next-generation console as well as new games including Halo Infinite and Gears 5 at Microsoft’s E3 press conference.
