Yesterday, Aaron Greenberg, head of marketing at Xbox, announced that Microsoft is not making the disclosure.

Elden Ring was announced at E3 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

A new teaser of the upcoming Airship map for Among Us has been posted online.

The upcoming map for Among Us was already revealed at The Game Awards late last year. In the new teaser, the emphasis is on a moving platform, which, as shown in the video below, can cause serious problems for players.
