The big story beat of this open-world action RPG is that Batman is dead, leaving the Gotham Knights (Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Red Hood) to protect the city. 

Release date: October 25, 2022
Developer: WB Games Montreal
Game Pass: No

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2

A highly-anticipated sequel that will see players returning to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. This time around it's even more dangerous, filled with mutants, anomalies, and a whole load of radiation.

Release date: Dec 8, 2022
Developer: GSC Game World

Hogwarts Legacy

Prepare for spell-based puzzles, exploration of Hogwarts castle, and broom-flying sections in this open-world RPG set long before Mr. Potter ever opened a magic book. 

Release date: TBC 2022
Developer: Avalanche
Game Pass: No

Starfield

We don't know much about Bethesda's epic new IP. All we have to go on as to what the game is that it's a sci-fi RPG set somewhere in space, and you can play as whoever you want to be. 

Release date: Spring 2023
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Game Pass: Yes

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Rocksteady is taking a break from the Bat for a co-op action game where Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark have to take on Superman, if the trailer is to be believed. Gulp. 

Release date: Spring 2023
Developer: Rocksteady
Game Pass: No

Alan Wake 2

Alan Wake is back at long, long last, some 11 years after the original game's release. Remedy is bringing back our favorite writer for a sequel, but this time it's going to be a true survival horror title.

Release date: TBC 2023
Developer: Remedy Entertainment
Game Pass: No

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2

The surprise sequel to Hellblade was revealed alongside the Xbox Series X itself. All we know so far? It's ludicriously good looking and has at least one mightily miffed troll. 

Release date: TBC
Developer: Ninja Theory
Game Pass: No

New Mass Effect

It's a long way off, but we're still ridiculously overexcited for the next Mass Effect. Seemingly picking up after the events of Mass Effect 3, we'll be seeing some old faces return. 

Release date: TBC
Developer: BioWare
Game Pass: Unknown

Fable

Very much a reboot for the series under new developer Playground Games, this new Fable still channels the original games with fantastical creatures and wondrous places.

Everwild

Whatever form Everwild's world takes, it's filled with colorful and fantastical creatures that interact with humans cautiously in a slightly otherworldly setting.

Release date: TBC 2023
