Xbox Backlog: Raw Fury Gets Bigger
We hope you’ve cleared some space in your backlog, because the Xbox is gearing up for an incredible wave of action, mystery, and mayhem. If you’re looking for your next grand adventure, there are titles waiting to redefine what gaming can be, from sprawling dungeon crawls to elaborate monster simulators and chilling historical mysteries.
Get ready to dive into worlds that demand exploration and cunning. One title sets a new standard for immersive exploration with Deep Dish Dungeon, where the goal isn’t just looting, but truly connecting with the ancient, mysterious depths of a dungeon. Forget static maps; players will navigate interconnected realms, gathering resources, crafting gear, and discovering hidden paths in a pure exercise of self-discovery. There are no hand-holding guides here—only the thrill of getting lost and figuring out the secrets for yourself.
For fans of nostalgic fantasy, prepare to rewind with Cassette Beasts 2002, arriving in March 2027. Set in a lush, nostalgic take on 2000s London, this adventure throws players into the role of a beast, allowing them to record, battle, and transform into over 250 unique creatures. The real twist? Players can combine any two monsters, pushing the boundaries of what kind of evolutionary chaos they can create. Keep an eye out for the upcoming Cassette Beasts Showcase in October, which promises even more details about this compelling series.
When the mystery calls, the history of the game becomes the treasure. The Séance of Blake Manor brings chilling supernatural intrigue to the console, PC, and Game Pass on October 27. Stepping into the shoes of investigator Declan Ward in 1897 Ireland, players must explore the remote Blake Manor, interrogate guests, and piece together otherworldly occurrences to uncover a deeply unsettling truth.
The realm of strategy and epic conflict is also expanding with the new entries in the Kingdom franchise. Kingdom III: Rising Realms promises yet another grand adventure across shattered realms, pitting players against the formidable Greed King. This installment introduces new strategic depth, including powerful Elite units and a home base castle, offering diverse ways to conquer and command.
Equally captivating is the ancient adventure of Kingdom Two Crowns: Pharaoh Lands. Beneath a scorching sun, players will reclaim divine lands in an Egypt-inspired campaign set in the Valley of the Kings. New mechanics allow players to recruit new troop types, discover unique mounts, and solve riddles to unravel the chaos consuming the lands. This new adventure launches this December and is available on XBOX Series X|S, XBOX on PC, and Game Pass.
For those who love pure, chaotic simulation, My Cannibal Family invites players to build their own deadly theme park. As a flesh-eating monster, players lure unsuspecting visitors to their abandoned fairground, balancing the fun of building attractions by day with the stealth and cunning of harvesting guests by night. This multiplayer monster simulator will launch next year on XBOX Series X|S and XBOX on PC.
Finally, if you’re ready to jump into some immediate action, there are several fantastic titles available right now. For a fresh take on puzzle-solving, Rivage offers a first-person adventure where players navigate a beautiful, handcrafted space station, solving interconnected puzzles to uncover the fate of a missing crew. Meanwhile, Monsters Are Coming! delivers a thrilling Tower-Survivor rogue-lite experience where players must build and fortify a city on wheels to fend off relentless hordes.
