Xbox, right? They dropped this bomb about new games on Game Pass. Guess what? One’s already here. Just blew my mind.
Okay, so there’s this game, Rain World. Ever heard of it? Videocult whipped it up back in 2017, and now it’s just chilling on Game Pass. Cloud, Console, PC, you name it. You’re this “slugcat” thingy, living life on the edge. It’s got this whole predator-versus-prey vibe. Weird, I know. Little furball with a spear—adorable and deadly. It’s all set in a world falling apart, like they missed garbage day for eons. And those bigger critters? Yeah, they’re not ignoring you. Zero hesitation, snack time for them. Sorry, slugcat.
But wait, there’s more! No joke. More games dropping later this month. Let me haphazardly list ’em because why not?
– Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector? That’s happening August 6th. Console only. Go figure.
– Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, same date. Just seems right.
– MechWarrior 5: Clans, yep, August 6th too. Sensing a theme here.
– Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap on Console, still August 6.
Then bam! Assassin’s Creed: Mirage hits on August 7. Play it anywhere. Nice. Aliens: Fireteam Elite? They drop on the 12th. Loads of fun there. Oh, and who can forget 9 Kings on PC, like some sneak peek thing. That lands on August 14, so mark it—or not.
Next up, Microsoft teased a couple more game previews. Curious? Take Descenders Next for a whirl. Or maybe He Is Coming is more your jam. Whatever floats your boat. Both are ready for dabbling if you’re on the subscription train.
Anyway, hang tight. They usually do this in two shots, so maybe we’ll see more stuff hitting us mid-August. If that’s your thing.
