The second game is Echo Weaverwhich is a knowledge-based Metroidvania in which you must “master an unraveling time loop”. Its day one Xbox Game Pass release will be on October 8, although there’s already a free demo of Echo Weaver on the Xbox Store if you fancy checking it out ahead of time.
And finally, the third game confirmed for the next few days is Neon Abyss 2which will be launched again on October 8. It’s a roguelite run ‘n’ gun shooter featuring beautiful pixel art and online co-op for up to four players, and its early access period on PC received a “very positive” rating on Steam. Next week will mark its 1.0 release on all platforms.
We’ll leave you with more details on each of these games below, but definitely don’t be surprised if Microsoft adds more to the list on Tuesday – we’ll keep an eye out and let you know if that happens.
