Joining Cassette Beasts on May 25 are two more exciting additions to Xbox Game Pass: Massive Chalice and Railway Empire 2. While Massive Chalice may be an older game, it still packs a punch in the turn-based tactics genre. Developed by Double Fine, the game's permadeath feature adds an extra layer of challenge that fans of the genre will appreciate.
As for Railway Empire 2, while it may be a niche game, it's still worth keeping an eye on for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. The original Railway Empire was highly praised and considered one of the best train simulation games available. With the sequel, fans can expect the same great gameplay mechanics while also introducing new features. It's possible that Railway Empire 2 could become a surprise hit on Xbox Game Pass, but we'll have to wait until May 25 to find out.
