The Developer Direct 2025's poster has revealed four titles - Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, South of Midnight, and a new unkown game.

Doom: The Dark Ages will take gamers to the medieval period, where they will witness the origin of the Doom Slayer's rage. Players will finally learn the "where and how it began" part.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is set in a Belle Époque-inspired setting and features an innovative turn-based RPG gameplay, which will blend with real-time mechanics.

South of Midnight is an adventure game set in a magical world, where players will deal with occult magic and explore the mythical folklore of the South.

There's one mystery game as well, which isn't revealed yet, but Windows Central suggests it could be a Japanese IP. Nonetheless, we will learn more once the event is underway.
