The Xbox Game Pass games list seems pretty sparse as we head towards 2024. However, there are some many anticipated games hitting the service that may catch your eye. Let’s take a look.
Thirsty Suitors(November 2)
In just a few days, we’ll be playingThirsty Suitors,an energy-driven Annapurna Games title. It has turn-based battles, skateboarding, cooking, and a whole lot of style.
Similar toScott Pilgrim,you’ll play as the character Jala, who must fight herexes in boss battles. She’s mending relationships in time for her sister’s wedding, you see. The skateboarding looks radical, and the cooking seems surprisingly action-packed.
Football Manager 2024(November 6)
Football Manager 2024is a simulation title that lets you form the ultimate team, figure out the transfer market, and level up your players. There are also new ball physics and lighting that have been added to the 2024 version of this series.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name(November 9)
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Namemarks the return of Kazuma Kiryu, who has been in hiding after he faked his own death. However, a mysterious figure has made him emerge from the shadows and take on the alias “Joryu.”
You’ll be switching between the Yakuza style and the Agent style in combat. The first is what you’d expect from Kiryu’s past movesets. The Agent style, however, includes electrified bind wires and other gadgets. Sega says on the game’sSteampage we’ll “strategically adapt to the situation and leverage both styles to dominate and destroy hordes of enemies.”
Persona 5 Tactica (November 17)
The Phantom Thieves are back, and this time they’ll be tackling a strategy RPG battlefield. There’sa new storylinethat has the group traveling to a dangerous alternate world. You’ll be taking out a group called the Legionnaires alongside a new character called Erina, shown in the above picture.
There are so manyPersona 5spinoffs to keep up with, but regardless, this looks like a Game Pass title you won’t want to miss.
SteamWorld Build(December 1)
Love building towns and managing them?SteamWorld Buildmight be the game for you. You’ll build a civilization from the ground up by collecting resources, keeping your city safe from monsters, and making sure your citizens are happy. The Western twist to this genre should make this different enough from others of its ilk.
The classic JRPGPersona 3returns with gorgeous visuals and a snazzy user interface.Persona 3 Releadalso adds new scenes with expanded voice work from a new cast.New and arranged musicwill be heading to the game too.
If you haven’t playedPersona 3before, this seems to be the best way to check it out. I’m a big fan ofPersona 4 GoldenandPersona 5, so I can’t wait to play it.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes(April 23)
JRPG fans can look forward to another anticipated title in April.Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroesis packed with over 100 playable characters and a stunning art style. The characters look like they’re from the 2D sprite era but in 3D form.
Suikodenfans will hopefully be in for a treat, asEiyuden Chronicleis written, produced, and directed by Suikoden series’ creator Yoshitaka Murayama.
