Aucklanders will get a chance to preview upcoming Xbox One games and chat with developers at an event taking place later this month.

XONZ will allow the public to go hands-on with games including Halo 5: Guardians, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege, Forza Motorsport 6, Lego Dimensions, Cuphead, Plague Inc., and Wasteland 2: The Director’s Cut.

Attendees will also get hands-on with the new Xbox Elite controller, and the chance to talk with developers from 343 Industries (Halo), Microsoft (Forza) and Crystal Dynamics (Tomb Raider), who are flying in especially for XONZ.

The local Bethesda team will also be on hand to catch up with fans on Fallout 4, and there will be hands-off previews of Quantum Break and The Division.

“XONZ will give 300 of Xbox’s biggest Kiwi fans a rare chance to see and play our greatest line-up of games ahead of their launches in the run-up to Christmas,” said Xbox New Zealand lead Steve Blackburn,.

“Having developers fly in to New Zealand to meet local Xbox fans is an opportunity not to be missed. Not many New Zealanders get to travel to international gaming expos like E3, Gamescom or PAX, so we’re delighted to be able to bring a slice of that to them.”
