‚Tis the week of showcases, it seems, and following Nintendo and Sony’s efforts last night, Microsoft has taken its own turn today with another one of its predominantly indie-focused ID@Xbox digital showcase events. And if you missed its typically meandering reveals, you can check out everything that put in an appearance, considerably more succinctly, below.
Eville
Eville is a multiplayer social deduction game from developer VestGames that’s coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Game Pass on 11th October. It sees up to 13 players working together – or otherwise – in order to unmask Conspirators hiding in a village beset by murders. Those cast as Villagers must weed out the suspects by day, while those in the role of Conspirators can decide who should be bumped off next by night.
Born of Bread
Developer WildArts‘ light-hearted adventure Born of Bread serves up a blend of Paper-Mario-like exploration and turn-based combat in which players – in the role of a flour golem – must travel the world, from the mysterious ruins of the Forest of Roots to the bustling metropolis of South Munch City, in order to save it from chaos. It all looks very adorable and will be coming to Xbox and PC at some currently unspecified future date.
Homestead Arcana
Homestead Arcana is yet another entry in the increasingly overloaded farming sim genre, but this one – from developer Serenity Forge – is aiming to shake things up by giving proceedings a more magical twist. Players take on the role of a farming witch who pioneers, cultivates, and crafts spells in order to restore a corrupted realm besieged by a force known as Miasma. It’s coming Xbox and PC – as well as Game Pass on Day 1 – sometime next year.
And more from Skybound…
Homestead Arcana is one of four games from publisher Skybound confirmed to be coming to Game Pass, with 90s-inspired adventure Big Con, puzzle-platformer Rainbow Billy, and Telltale Games‘ The Walking Dead: The Final Season all joining the service „this year“.
Song of Iron 2
Song of Iron 2 is the second instalment in developer Resting Relic’s Nordic-set action-adventure series, and promises plenty of „visceral, merciless, run-and-gun melee combat“ as players navigate a dark-fantasy landscape in order to unite the region’s clans and prepare for the coming war. There’s no release date for this one just yet, but expect more details in due course.
