Revealed today as a part of today's ID@Xbox announcements but, as a huge fan of cinematic platformers, I wanted to highlight this specific title.
Official Site: https://skyboxlabs.com/games/stela/
Stela is a cinematic, atmospheric platformer about a young woman witnessing the final days of a mysterious ancient world.
Overcome daunting challenges, treacherous terrain, and gargantuan beasts while traversing a decaying land. Manipulate the environment to solve elaborate puzzles and creep past dangerous creatures under cover of muted landscapes, all set to an original soundtrack. Survive sweeping environments including mysterious towns, haunting forests, and massive subterranean ruins brought to life in an atmospheric experience.

What exactly is a cinematic platformer? A platformer with narrative? Like Fe or Ori?
Ichtyander put it best on the old site.
Cinematic platformers are action adventure platformers with a strong emphasis on realism, cinematic presentation, detailed character animations, trial and error gameplay and a minimalistic approach to storytelling.
No news on other platforms or (if any) exclusivity details.
