As we near the summer showcase season rumours are beginning to swirl around what we might see presented as part of the upcoming releases.
For Microsoft and Xbox, one industryinsider has notedthat fans of Xbox 360-era RPGs will have something to look forward to, causing lots of speculation as to which title we might see announced.

Oddly enough, this news lines up with a random message posted on 4Chan that was reportedly a leak for theXboxshowcase, on which the classic RPGLost Odysseywas listed for a remaster.

This also seems to be the consensuson Redditwhere they discussed the original tweet from Shpeshal Nick.
Users over there are debating whether it could be aLost Odysseyremaster, or perhaps something to do withBlue Dragon, the RPG on which Akira Toriyama worked many years ago. Either would be a bold move for Xbox and a boon to RPG fans as the 360-era RPGs were brilliant.
Personally, I’d love to see a remaster ofEternal Sonata, but I’d happily take either of these too. This was from a time when Microsoft was trying its hardest to crack Japan as a market and they pushed into RPGs in a big way.

A remaster of this would be a great step for Xbox fulfilling the wishes of their old-school audience, but we’ll have to wait until Summer Games Fest to know whether this rumour pans out. My fingers are crossed, that’s for sure.
