FULL STORY ======================================================================
Microsoft has revealed the latest slate of games heading to Xbox Game Pass, including a new life-sim that casts you away to a Disneyfied version of Pelican Town.
Headlining this months Xbox Game Pass releases is Disney Dreamlight Valley. A cross between Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and virtually every popular Disney IP, it's a light RPG sim that has you explore a magical land and help out the cheery characters who call it home. Youll be meeting your neighbors, crafting items, and completing quests.
Dreamlight Valley might wear its influences on its sleeve, but it looks to take the genre in a few new directions. It places a big focus on narrative, challenging you to complete heaps of main adventures and optional tasks, all given to you by classic Disney and Pixar characters. It's also available to stream through Xbox Cloud Gaming if you're an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber.
On the opposite end of the tonal spectrum is Metal: Hellsinger. Also hitting Game Pass this month, the demonic FPS is a mash-up of classic rhythm games
and Doom. Youll get to rip and tear your way through hordes of horned
monsters to the beat of an original heavy metal soundtrack. It features a whole bunch of acclaimed, pro musicians, including Serj Tankian of System of
a Down, Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, and Matt Heafy of Trivium. Take up command (Image credit: Funcom)
Microsoft also announced that sci-fi strategy game Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation will be coming to Game Pass. A massive-scale RTS, it apes the colorfully bombastic warfare of Supreme Commander, handing you vast armies of robots and frigates to smash together.
Its joined by well-received mechanical puzzler Opus Magnum, locomotive simulator Train Sim World 3, tongue-in-cheek driving game You Suck at
Parking, and tactical rogue-like Despots Game. Childrens shooter DC League of Super-Pets: The Adventures of Krypto and Ace is also coming.
