Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is a semi-open-world RPG developed by A44 Games, a New Zealand studio known for its distinct ARPG, Ashen. The game tasks players with defeating gods in a diverse fantasy setting. Early reviews have praised the game’s fast-paced gameplay and engaging exploration but noted the limited variety in character builds. Despite this, the game has been well received, as evidenced by its OpenCritic score of 70.
Dungeons of Hinterberg
Dungeons of Hinterberg is another exciting addition to the Xbox Game Pass lineup. Developed by Austrian studio Microbird, this game combines Zelda-like dungeon crawling with Persona-style socializing. The cel-shaded graphics, inspired by renowned comic artist Jean “Moebius” Giraud, offer a unique visual appeal. Although there are not many reviews yet, early impressions from a playtest in May 2024 were positive. The game’s blend of exploration and social elements makes it a compelling title for RPG fans.
Upcoming Xbox Game Pass Titles
Following the release of Dungeons of Hinterberg and Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, at least one more title is expected to join Xbox Game Pass before the end of July. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Capcom’s action-strategy hybrid, is scheduled for release on July 19. Additionally, rumors suggest that two more titles, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, might be added later this month.
