Phantom Dust
Phantom Dust fans were treated to a surprise at E3 2014 when Microsoft announced a full reboot of the original game. In the years that followed, however, that project hit trouble with the original developer, Darkside Game Studios, closing down. That reboot then eventually turned into the Phantom Dust remaster that released in 2017, but Creative Director at Microsoft Studios, Adam Isgreen, said that if fans showed enough interest in the IP we could still see a reboot happen.
Considering Microsoft is sorely hurting for a lineup of quality Japanese games, especially compared to the PS4, a title like Phantom Dust would be a robust addition to their catalog. The original quickly became a cult classic with an interesting punk-themed post-apocalyptic setting and a surprisingly fun mix of action combat with a digital collectible card game. JRPGs have hit huge popularity again with successful titles like Persona 5, NieR: Automata, and Dragon Quest XI, none of which are planned to release on Xbox One anytime soon. Phantom Dust actually being rebooted would be a way to capitalize on that renewed interest, and bring a fresh take to the genre and the Xbox in general.
