Microsoft has confirmed that it’s working on a new handheld console that it plans to release soon. Details have emerged regarding the console codenamed “Project Kennan“, which will be developed in collaboration with Asus.

The cryptic video “Run Omni_Upgrades.exe” featured a short clip showing the Asus Rog Ally and an Xbox controller combined to form an entirely new device. Momentarily, before the video ended, the new device also featured the Xbox controller layout.

With Asus already kicking off the marketing for Project Kennan, a possible reveal could be right around the corner. A proper reveal could happen at the 2025 Xbox Summer Showcase, which will take place in the next few months.
