Project Belfry is one of many code names used to identify various projects in development at Xbox Game Studios and collaborators. Behind this name lies the new game by Stoic Studio, author of the excellent series The Banner Saga. In these hours, however, we may have discovered what the official title could be.According to reports from Jez Corden of Windows Central, always very close to the Xbox environments, this mysterious game should be called The Wandering Tower, even if there is clearly no certainty on the matter.
The Banner Saga is characterized by a 2D style that could be taken up in the new game Jez Corden reported it in the well-known podcast The Xbox Two, which was staged in the past few hours.
According to reports from Corden, The Wandering Tower should be the definitive name of Stoic's game and should be a 2D side-scrolling title with a fantastic setting, probably close to the style already adopted for The Banner Saga.
The fact that the project has an official name still says little about its state of development, considering that absolutely nothing has emerged from this project yet, but we may be closer to an official presentation in some form. Among the next possible appointments there are obviously The Game Awards 2022, set for December 8, 2022, so we will possibly keep an eye on the issue.
In fact, last May again from Jez Corden it had emerged that Project Belfry would be revealed shortly, but there have been no further updates on the matter since then.

Using a VPN on Xbox is Easy: Here's the Fastest Way
Using a virtual private network to protect your privacy on Xbox is easy, even if your VPN doesn't have an Xbox-specific app. Whether you use your Xbox console for gaming, streaming Hulu and Netflix, its onboard browser or all of the above -- more people are turning to their gaming devices as a full-service, big-screen entertainment hub. And that means a VPN offers greater privacy for a wider number of uses in your home.

Investing in a VPN to protect your Xbox's privacy opens up a whole host of benefits: You can more easily join games on servers around the world, circumvent geoblocking restrictions on YouTube and Netflix content and dodge any shady data-throttling practices your internet service provider tries to pull.
Best of all, setting it up a VPN on Xbox is easier than you might think. Here's how to do it.
What you'll needVPN service: If you've already got a VPN service, that's one less thing. If you don't, here are three VPNs that work well with Xbox. Your VPN service is going to give you the information you'll need to enter when you connect to your router: IP address, subnet mask and VPN login information.
Router access: You'll need to log in to your home Wi-Fi router. If you've never done it, it's fairly simple and just requires getting the login information -- a username and password -- for the make and model of your router, as provided in the product's documentation. If your router was provided by your ISP, this information should be in the documentation that came with it. If that paperwork is long gone, a Google search can help you find it.

Connect the router to the VPN1. Log in to your router according to its documentation instructions. Usually, this will mean opening a web browser and typing your router's IP address into the URL bar to get to the router's login screen. This is where you'll need the username and password mentioned above.
2. Once you're logged in, look for a tab or screen that says Control Panel. If you don't see one, look for a network settings tab. These are usually labelled Network or Basic, but may also be called Settings or Network/WAN Setup. While all routers' interfaces are going to be a little different, pretty much all of them have one clearly labeled section where you can tell your router how to talk to the rest of the world's internet.
You'll know you're in the right place when you see text entry fields under a heading that says DHCP. The text fields will be labeled IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address.
3. Once you're in your router's network settings, you're going to tell your router to talk to your VPN. This is where you'll need that information from your VPN service that I mentioned above. Every Xbox-capable VPN has its own preferred setup method here, so contact your VPN company for specific steps as needed.
4. Don't forget to save the changes you made to the router's connection information before exiting.
Connect the Xbox to the routerThe most reliable way to connect the Xbox to the router at this point is via ethernet cable, of course, but jumping back onto your now-VPN-protected wireless network is simple.
1. Power up the Xbox, then press the Xbox button and go to Settings.
2. Under the settings, select Network.
3. Choose Set up wireless network.
4. When prompted by the Xbox, select your home wireless network from a list of those it can detect. Then hop onto your Wi-Fi with your normal password.
Voila. And just like that, to all outside eyes, your Xbox should now appear to be located in another country courtesy of your VPN and a smidgen of elbow grease.
