Revolutionary Co-Op Game Set to Take Xbox Game Pass by Storm in 2022

Towerborne, a fresh addition to the Game Pass library, was recently unveiled at the Xbox Games Showcase, promising to offer enticing co-op gameplay. The trailer released during the event confirms that the game is slated for release in 2024. Developed by Stotic, the team behind the award-winning trilogy The Banner Saga, Towerborne is highly anticipated by gamers and critics alike. The Banner Saga series, which took almost a decade to complete, received several nominations and accolades, including a BAFTA award for Best New Game. The game's Kickstarter campaign was also a massive success, raising over $200,000.

In contrast to The Banner Saga's somber tone, Towerborne takes a brighter approach to its visual aesthetic. The trailer depicts a fantastical world in which heroes must band together to undo a catastrophic event. The trailer primarily showcases the game's stunning cel-shaded graphics, unique creatures, and cooperative beat 'em up gameplay. Towerborne offers a more lighthearted and family-friendly experience compared to Stotic's previous titles. According to an interview with lead combat designer Isaac Torres and principal game designer Alex Thomas, Towerborne is a rogue-like game where players respawn with currency and memories of their past deaths, adding depth to the game's story. The designers also promise future content updates for the seasonal game. Finally, the trailer hints at a 2024 release on Game Pass.

The aim of Stoic's Towerborne is to offer a gaming experience that is suitable for families, with a gameplay that is easy to learn but has the potential for advanced skills. The game features a vast range of weapons that can be tailored to suit the player's preferred combat style. Fans of action RPG games can anticipate the release of this exciting new title on Game Pass in 2022. The game will be accessible on PC and Xbox Series X|S.
