The timing may be either 12am local time, or 12am in that specific region, but we'll undoubtedly get confirmation during the Xbox Partner Preview showcase.
Xbox fans will also be treated to a new Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii trailer, as well as a look at a handful of bosses from the fantasy action title, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
