The iconic stealth action franchise, Hitman: World of Assassination, will be one of the main features of the showcase. While IOI hasn’t revealed exact details, fans are expecting a new expansion, possibly featuring multiple new missions and locations. Cosmetic items like new suits and gear could also be part of the drop.

IO Interactive’s most anticipated upcoming project is 007 First Light, a brand-new James Bond game. This showcase will feature the first look at the game. While details about the title are still under wraps, it's confirmed that it will be a completely new origin story for James Bond.

Another big highlight of the upcoming showcase is MindsEye, a narrative third-person thriller set to release on June 10, 2025. It’s directed by Leslie Benzies, the former president of Rockstar North, which is known for GTA V and Red Dead Redemption. With a background like that, the expectations around this game are understandably high. The showcase will likely give us a deeper look at the game’s story, key characters, and gameplay.
