Those who followed the memorable Xbox Games Showcase 2024 with us will already know that Microsoft’s summer event showed some interesting titles, in addition obviously to the new chapters of the most representative IPs of the Microsoft Gaming galaxy. There are 3 games in particular that are really worth keeping an eye on!
Wuchang Fallen Feathers
After the excellent public and critical response received by works such as Lies of P and Stellar Blade, and the community’s great anticipation for titles such as Black Myth Wukong, the long wave of Asian action adventures is destined to continue with Wuchang Fallen Feathers, the new interactive experience by Leenzee Games which is linked to the thousand-year-old tradition of the Far East to rereading its folklore in a dark key.
The latest soulslike from the Chinese software house will project us into the land of Shu to encourage us to face a mysterious plague that generates monstrous creatures. The in-engine scenes shown during the Xbox team’s summer event give us the image (albeit partial) of a truly very promising project, or in any case of a title that deserves further investigation before its arrival on PC and consoles during the 2025.
Clair Obscur Expedition 33
Among the most unexpected surprises of the Xbox showcase we also find Clair Obscur Expedition 33a role-playing game that aims to modernize the classic formulas of the genre by hybridizing the turn-based battles typical of the JRPG tradition with the real-time combat mechanics of Western action role-playing games.
However, there is one aspect that emerges more than any other from the evocative announcement trailer for Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and it is that represented by the original narrative plot drawn up by the developers of Sandfall Interactive to tell on the screen the exploits of warriors forced to do you deal with an evil entity, the Painter, who with her works is responsible for the death of an ever-increasing number of people and claims the right to determine the fate of a civilization inspired by Belle Époque France. Even in this case, we will have to wait until 2025 to delve into the inspired dimension of Clair Obscur.
Mixtapes
Of a different tone, but certainly no less ‘impactful’, are the suggestions offered by the nostalgic-tinged universe of Mixtape, an adventure that looks to the 80s and coming-of-age films to recall the memory of the summers spent by a group of three friends, between the emotions of the first kiss and the slightly anarchic audacity of adolescence.
The interactive adventure shaped by Beethoven and Dinosaur rests on the very solid foundations of a soundtrack that will include, among others, songs by DEVO, Roxy Music, Lush, The Smashing Pumpkins, Iggy Pop, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division and other. A true ‘compilation of memories’, the one promised to us by Annapurna Interactive, which aims to bring music together with nostalgia to transpose onto the screen all the carefreeness of youth and the awareness of having to become adults, with all that entails.
But now the word is up to you: let us know with a comment which video games from the Xbox show are to ‘keep an eye on’, in addition obviously to the ‘usual suspects’ and the triple A productions (both exclusive and third party) that have marked the pace of Microsoft’s summer event.
