Recent rumors indicate that an upcoming Xbox Developers Direct event could also contain a game that is being prepared to shadowdrop either during or after the show, similar to what Microsoft did with Hi-Fi Rush. Companies looking to make waves with upcoming releases have resorted to the shadowdrop, a process involving announcing and immediately releasing a game like the remastered version of Quake 2. Not only does this help publicity and marketing efforts, but it generates excitement from fans who may want to check out a new experience.
