Microsoft teases new Xbox hardware ahead of Gamescom

Update: Microsoft has clarified that the new hardware relates to "new Xbox bundles and accessories".

Original: Gamescom is fast approaching and here at Gamereactor we are very much looking forward to once again visiting the world's biggest gaming event. When the time comes, apparently Microsoft is planning on showing us some brand new Xbox hardware which of course makes the wait until the doors open at Gamescom 2018 even more unbearable. In the official Xbox blog, Microsofts writes the following:

"This year at Gamescom, we will be hosting a special episode of Inside Xbox, broadcast live from our Xbox booth in the Koelnmesse. Tune in on Tuesday, August 21, at 4:30 p.m. CEST (7:30 a.m. PDT) for lots of news, all-new Xbox hardware and accessories, and features on upcoming titles that we can't wait to tell you more about and perhaps even a few surprises!"

Could this be a brand new Elite controller based on the peripheral that was announced at Gamescom 2015? Or something else perhaps? We'll find out next month.
