2019 and 2020 release windows for other games.

Worth a watch.

As for what the Microsoft title could be? We already have Minecraft and Cuphead, and we also have a confirmed release date for New Super Lucky’s Tale. One title is brought to mind, which happens to be a title that has been rumored to come to the Nintendo Switch for quite some time. That game is Ori and the Blind Forest. It makes quite a bit of sense, and has been heavily rumored for quite some time.
