"Even Halo - and I was there at the original Xbox - we didn't know was Halo," Spencer said. Spencer said gamers will decide what Xbox One's killer app is, using history to guide his prediction. Microsoft's Xbox One launch lineup is large - at least compared to previous console launches - but some have questioned whether it lacks a killer app in the vein of Halo: Combat Evolved on the original Xbox. There's just nothing to announce right now." Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer Mistwalker's 2007 JRPG Lost Odyssey was published by Microsoft I know you will see those games come to our platform. "You're asking about the more traditional RPG. "I know Dead Rising 3 isn't an RPG and is being developed in Vancouver, Canada, but I'll just say the relationship with the publishers and developers in Japan is something we'll continue to invest in as important." We're not announcing anything, but I can say both RPGs and specifically the Japanese developers are really important to our ecosystem. "We're having great conversations with people. "Specifically about the Japanese market - and I'll be at Tokyo Game Show in a month - the Japanese development community remains incredibly important to us, and we're continuing to invest there," Spencer said. Square Enix's Final Fantasy 15 is due out on next-gen consoles, but Microsoft's Xbox sales struggle in Japan is well documented, and the Xbox One will not launch there until 2014.Īmid concern about Xbox in Japan, Spencer reiterated Microsoft's commitment to the Japanese market and said JRPGs will launch on Xbox One eventually.

"RPGs for me personally, that's the genre I grew up playing, starting with the old Ultima series," Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer told Eurogamer at Gamescom. So, what's the deal? Has Microsoft lost faith in the RPG genre? The Fable series - Microsoft's RPG franchise - is heading in a different direction on Xbox One with the multiplayer-focused Fable Legends, and developer Lionhead has confirmed it has no intention of making a fully-fledged Fable 4. It's the one genre lacking from the launch lineup, which includes a number of shooters, action games, casual games, driving games and even a fighting game. Xbox One has a mammoth 23 games confirmed for release on day one in November, more than many expected - but there's a distinct lack of role-playing games available to play.
