Xbox gets 30 new games next week

Brawl your way through the streets and mall in the View Askewniverse as Jay and Silent Bob, where you unleash a dizzying array of irreverent combos, special moves, collect and summon assists, in this over-the-top beat ‘em up. You’ll need to harness every ounce of smoke-fueled creativity to get past the throngs of hockey-stick-wielding teenage thugs, dookie demons, hipsters with babies, old grumpy danglers, and massive, movie-inspired boss battles. 

Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch combines incredible stylized, hand-drawn animation, character design, and over-the-top combat and badass catchphrases in a side-scrolling, tag-team, beat-’em-up. Our heroes embark on an epic adventure from their humble, suburban New Jersey Quick Stop to an unearthed mystical mall that has unleashed an evil hold on the city.

From the somehow triple-BAFTA‑winning creators of Vampire Survivors, Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors turns the snowballing thrill of Survivors into a hyper turn‑based, card‑driven BLOBBER with rogue-lite elements. Build busted decks, explore familiar dungeons from a new perspective, and unleash world‑ending combos. Either take your time and be tactical, or play turns as fast as you humanly can: The outcome is always accurate, we call it hyper for a reason!

What is this game about
Snowballing, turn‑based carnage: Play cards in ascending mana order to land combos; each step multiplies the next card’s effect. Use Wilds to extend the stack and keep going to 10, 20, 30… Can you reach infinite?
Pick your pace: Either take your time and be tactical, or play turns as fast as you humanly can: The outcome is always accurate, we call it hyper for a reason!

Deck-Building: Accumulate experience and level up to gain new cards, headbutt chests for customization gems and power‑ups; chase weapon evolutions and summon survivors to trigger a cascade of effects and break the game.

Crawling: Explore multi‑floor dungeons packed with something seldom seen in Vampire Survivors: functioning walls. And then all sorts of unique treasures and interactions. Find the shovel to dig into the next floor, which will most likely take place in the clouds!

Stick together to solve brainteasing stages in retro sliding puzzle style!

Get ready for GluMe, a sliding puzzle game where you control a slime and any friends you pick up along the way. Move through top-down grid stages, collecting gems across 80 unique puzzles of growing size and complexity.

New challenges keep appearing: sleeping gray slimes wake when touched, turning blue, and sticking to you. Use them to cross pitfalls, but don’t grow too big to fit into tight spots. Find the right order to collect gems and uncover secrets. Reset anytime if you get stuck. Enjoy chiptune tunes and retro vibes!

The “Online Story-Link” feature allows you to feel the impact of previous players’ choices – and leave your own lasting mark for future players. Players start by selecting the Story-Link of a friend, favorite streamer, DigixArt team member, or stranger to follow on a mission to reconstruct or further deconstruct a world suffering from a disease that is ravaging the ocean planet.

Shape Every Player’s Future

As a Tidewalker, you will explore a strange world that will look, feel, and react differently depending on the Story-Link you choose. As a deadly disease called Plastemia threatens to kill all living things, you must steel yourself to face the numerous challenges of a world on the brink of collapse.

Meet a wide range of characters and opposing factions: ruthless Marauders who control medicine and trade, everyday survivors known as Reclaimers, and the Mystics – a mysterious group who worship the past.

In A Difficult Game About Letters, you take control of a character who can transform into any letter of the alphabet. Each letter’s shape provides unique abilities, which you’ll need to solve puzzles, navigate obstacles, and complete challenging platforming levels.

* Transform Into Letters: Instantly switch between 26 different letters to adapt to obstacles. Each letter’s shape can help you in unique ways.
* Jump Across Platforms: Use letters like J or V to jump higher or leap across wide gaps.
* Hook and Grab: Turn into L or T to hook onto ledges, edges, or moving platforms.
* Roll and Squeeze: Transform into round letters like O or C to roll through tight spaces or under obstacles.
* Brace and Balance: Use sturdy letters like X or H to block moving walls, balance on narrow platforms

Every level is a playground of letters and shapes, requiring you to think creatively, experiment with transformations, and master precise movements to progress. With endless possibilities for how to use the alphabet, each challenge feels fresh and rewarding.

The black dragon [Guernian], who once faced down the gods, has fallen.
From the rift he fled before his death, an unholy energy has spread across the world, and life is undergoing a bizarre mutation. People call it Corruption and live their days in fear, but few know its trustworthy source and full extent.

You are an immortal warrior, a so-called Successor, chosen by the God of Light [Lu], the God of Fire [Ashuran], and the God of Water [Harnia]. Arriving in Cliffshire, a town of light, Successors must head to a burial ground where demons are said to be manifesting and follow clues to cleanse the distorted world.

Dragon is Dead delivers 2D platformer action requiring precise dodging and pattern-breaking. Each area is a vertically and horizontally intertwined, multi-layered structure that regenerates in a rogue-lite fashion with different terrain, monster placement, and loot composition on each run. When you die, you lose your gold and temporary buffs, but your gear and runes are permanently preserved and become the basis for the next cycle. Defeating bosses yields rune stones that can be used to craft or awaken legendary gear, and artifacts found during exploration can bring both powerful blessings and dangerous curses depending on the combination, providing new tactical tension each time.

Double Fine Productions presents Kiln, a pottery power-fantasy that celebrates both Creativity and Destruction: the pleasure that comes from both making beautiful things, and then smashing those things to smithereens. Create your pot, grab your friends, and join a team of colorful spirits who face off against one another in online arenas, where the ceramic creations you sculpt on a pottery wheel become the bodies you bring into battle.

The shape of your pots affects your attributes and your play-style. Will you be big, or small? Wide, or tall? Will you make a plate, a jug, a cup, or a bowl?

FIND YOUR PATH IN RUMBRAL

You wake up in a dark, mysterious forest with no memory of who you are or why you’re there. Move through a world filled with abandoned structures and puzzles, perhaps left behind by others.
