Microsoft Flaunts Exclusive Indie Support at E3 2015

Microsoft has showcased the growing level of indie developer support for the Xbox One, with an E3 2015 presentation that outlined a quartet of indie titles coming first to the console.

In a move that echoed Sony's famous "indie 8" demonstration during E3 2013, Microsoft sent out Chris Charla, head of the ID@Xbox initiative, to introduce four key independent titles coming to the system.

First, Steve Gaynor of the acclaimed Gone Home developer Fullbright, revealed the studio's next project--Tacoma--will be a timed Xbox One exclusive.

Then Derek Bradley, of Aurora44, showed off Ashen, which appears to be a exploration survival adventure game. Following this was Sherida Halatoe, of Tiger & Squid, who revealed Beyond Eyes, which appears to resemble a watercolour version of The Unfinished Swan.

Finally, Chad and Jared Moldenhauer, of Canadian studio MDHR, revealed their idiosyncratic Xbox One exclusive Cuphead, which is set for release in 2016.

Charla said these four titles were emblematic of "the breadth of experiences coming to Xbox One today."

Other games shown during the ID@Xbox showcase include Shine, Mean Greens, Flame in Blood, Phantasmal, The Solus, Project, Westerado, Sword Coast Legends, Outward, Behemoth's Game 4, Below, Ark, Recruits, and SuperHot.
