We know that Microsoft have been working on some radically different avatar designs, but we haven't actually seen them in action for well over a year now.

From the teases that we've seen over the years, the new avatars look full of expression and much more cartoony than they've ever looked before. One thing that Microsoft could do to make their E3 more memorable is by having the avatar update release as the conference ends.

A leaked dashboard video this year showed several of the avatar designs off and they seem wildly more exciting and expressive, as well as being pretty revolutionary by allowing those with disabilities.

Although releasing the new avatars may not seem like a big deal when you consider everything else that Microsoft have to reveal, the avatars are actually one of the few areas that Xbox has always had over the competition.

Even against Nintendo's Miis, Xbox's Avatars have always been a bit more exciting and involved. It's time they make an upgraded return.
