Microsoft is hosting an Xbox Partner Preview event showing off a number of new games from different studios.

Xbox has already said there will be a first look at gameplay from Alan Wake 2's next expansion called The Lake House, a new trailer for Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and a look at multiple bosses in dark-fantasy action game Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.

There will also be a number of "world premieres" and other titles that will be available through Xbox consoles, PC and Game Pass.

Remedy Entertainment, Sega and 505 Games are among the studios that will be showing off what they've been working on.

Xbox says there will be over a dozen new trailers and the broadcast is expected to last around 25 minutes with "no fluff" and "all games".

It starts at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST on October 17.

A first-person multiplayer shooter showing interesting ways to kill hordes of enemies has dropped.

That's out next year.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

505 Games is showing what they've been working on with a trailer for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.

It opens with a number of people seemingly having been hung before showing what seems to be a female samurai battling enemies with superpowers and traditional weapons.

The combat is fast paced and looks good.

It has a Souls-like element to it too.

It's out next year.

The Legend of Baboo

A fantasy game showing a kid kicking butt and navigating an intriguing world has been shown.

Edens Zero

An anime action game is up next showing huge, over-the-top battles set in space.

It's out next year.

Animal Well

2D platformer Animal Well with pixel graphics is up next.

It's a dark world with minimal light and evil "shadows".

I've lost count of the number of times shadows was mentioned...

It's out now.

Subnautica 2

Subnautica 2 is up next.

It shows a diver trying being rescued in the depths of the ocean before a huge water monster is shown after a discovery doesn't seem to go to plan.

It's out in 2025.

Mouse: PI for Hire

A first-person detective game, which also acts as a shooter, set in what looks like the 1950s has been shown.

It shows black-and-white cartoon graphics from that era.

It's out in 2025.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

A charismatic trailer for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is up next.

It shows Japanese pirates fighting against each other's boats with characters storming the decks of rivals ships to take down different crews.

There are fantasy elements to it too.

It's out on February 21 2025.

Blindfire

A first-person multiplayer shooter set with no light and certain objects lit up in neon has been shown.

It's now in early access.

Chronos: The New Dawn

A creepy trailer for Chronos: The New Dawn has shown.

Part of it showed a character in a space suit fighting off zombies in a dark world with objects suspended in midair while the same character plays chess with an older woman.

It then moved on to gameplay and it felt like something straight out of Dead Space.

It's out in 2025.

Alan Wake DLC

Alan Wake DLC is up first! Gameplay from The Lake House is being shown with a "darker tone and horror elements".

It's out on October 22.

Here we go... What have you got for us, Xbox?

Countdown is on

The live stream is up and running and there's a timer ticking down to when the broadcast will properly start.

More than 3,000 have already tuned in on YouTube alone and those that have are guessing in the comments what games they want to see.

We can hope, right?
