<p>What is <em>Surviving the Aftermath</em>? Well, our game debuted first in Early Access in October 2019 and launched in November, 2021. It is a survival colony builder set in a post-apocalyptic world where the player starts with nothing except a handful of survivors. It is a combination of colony building and world exploration where colonists must first learn to survive through the day, before becoming a thriving society in the wasteland, for any survivor looking for a place to call home.

<p>With <em>Shattered Hope</em>, we wanted to dive deeper into the human mind. If it wasn’t enough to survive in the aftermath of civilization, now our survivors have to deal with the <em>Moonfall</em>. That’s right, the moon’s destroyed and its fragments are showering down from the sky, leaving behind destruction, but also some very convenient moon rock deposits. By gathering and refining lunar fragments, survivors can improve buildings’ production and increase their chances of survival.

<div class="mspb-description"> The Moon is shattered. Broken. Lost in the vast space above planet Earth. What was once a beacon of hope in the sky has now left survivors to deal with a new, catastrophic void in “Shattered Hope”, the new Expansion for Surviving the Aftermath. Use the Moon’s fragments to your advantage and make sure to keep your hopes up (literally!) to survive. Key Features Face the Moonfall and use it to your advantage with the new Building Boost mechanic<br />
The Moon is shattered in the sky and its fragments are crushing down on Earth leaving behind them devastation – but also moon rock deposits. You can refine lunar fragments and obtain lunar dust which will be used to increase the production of your buildings for a limited time. This new building boost mechanic is called overtime. Keep your hopes up, and feast! Hope is a new global value that decreases over time and when catastrophes happen in the game. If kept too low for too long, it will trigger a new condition called anguish that, if left untreated, may turn your colonists hostile. So, keep your hope as high as possible by holding feasts at the new colony square building! New production chain: take care of your colonists!<br />
When colonists experience anguish, you can help them by building a trauma center where they will heal. They will recover faster thanks to a brand new medicine called antistress. To make it, you’ll have to grow raw resources on the mushroom farm, then refine them into the actual medicine in the med hut building. </div>

<div class="mspb-description"> The Moon is shattered. Broken. Lost in the vast space above planet Earth. What was once a beacon of hope in the sky has now left survivors to deal with a new, catastrophic void in “Shattered Hope”, the new Expansion for Surviving the Aftermath. Use the Moon’s fragments to your advantage and make sure to keep your hopes up (literally!) to survive. Key Features Face the Moonfall and use it to your advantage with the new Building Boost mechanic<br />
The Moon is shattered in the sky and its fragments are crushing down on Earth leaving behind them devastation – but also moon rock deposits. You can refine lunar fragments and obtain lunar dust which will be used to increase the production of your buildings for a limited time. This new building boost mechanic is called overtime. Keep your hopes up, and feast! Hope is a new global value that decreases over time and when catastrophes happen in the game. If kept too low for too long, it will trigger a new condition called anguish that, if left untreated, may turn your colonists hostile. So, keep your hope as high as possible by holding feasts at the new colony square building! New production chain: take care of your colonists!<br />
When colonists experience anguish, you can help them by building a trauma center where they will heal. They will recover faster thanks to a brand new medicine called antistress. To make it, you’ll have to grow raw resources on the mushroom farm, then refine them into the actual medicine in the med hut building. </div>

<h3>Summary</h3>

<li>Horror action-adventure <em>The Chant</em> launches on Xbox Series X|S today. </li>
<li>Fight back against – and escape from – dark forces unleashed when a spiritual ritual goes wrong. </li>
<li>Test your survival skills and solve the mysteries of the past in a deeply unsettling environment awash with negative energy.</li>

</div>
<p>Are you ready to open your mind and find out who you truly are? <strong><em><a href="https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/the-chant/9nx008dvw20t" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Chant</a></em></strong> is now available on Xbox Series X|S and it’s going to take you on the ultimate journey of self-discovery, unlocking parts of your mind that you didn’t even know existed.</p>
<p>Set on a remote island at a spiritual retreat, <em>The Chant</em> is a single-player, third person horror action-adventure game that will stay with you long after you put down the controller. The main protagonist, Jess, arrives at the retreat seeking to come to terms with past trauma. But her quest for inner peace will soon turn into a desperate struggle for survival.</p>

<p>Taking inspiration from the psychedelic horror movies of the late 70s, <em>The Chant</em> leaves you to explore an unknown and unsettling landscape awash with negative energy. You will have to craft, fight, and make your escape from the horrors set loose when a spiritual ritual goes wrong.</p>
<p><em>The Chant</em> tells the story of what happens when you toy with things that aren’t meant to be toyed with. There’s a recurring cast of characters that will help you untangle the complex history of the island, but it’s very much up to you to fight off the evil creatures, reason with the survivors, and set about reversing the ritual.</p>

<p>The unique, interactive soundscape coupled with the use of color and negative space creates a deep sense of unease and sets up moments of sheer terror. The haunting electronic rock soundtrack is composed by the award-winning Paul Ruskay, and Siobhan Williams, star of “Sacred Lies” and AMC’s acclaimed series “Hell On Wheels”, leads a talented cast of actors.</p>
<p>Will you be able to elevate your spirit to meditate and access supernatural abilities? Or will you succumb to panic and flee?</p>

For this, KT Racing, the studio in charge of development has worked hard to offer you the ultimate Rally experience on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S!</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<h2><strong> The Last of a Generation</strong></h2>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<p>2022 will see WRC transition to the hybrid era. A revolution for the rally world, significantly affecting performance, changing strategies, and making drivers and teams adapt. Not only that, <em>WRC Generations</em> adds new mechanics, improved physics, the ability for players to share their liveries and a new game mode – the Leagues!</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<h2><strong> Welcome to the Leagues</strong></h2>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<p>The Leagues Mode is the main competitive mode of <em>WRC Generations</em>. You will be able to play in parallel Solo Leagues and Team Leagues. The Leagues mode is divided in Seasons, split into weeks and at the end of a season, the best players will access the Hall of Fame.</p>
<p>In Solo Leagues, the points you’ve earned will determine your place in the standings. In Team Leagues, the points earned by all members in your team (up to 8 players) are added together to determine the team’s ranking.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/WRCG_Leagues_Standings-8cb57d23ee1902cd346d.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&ssl=1" alt="WRC Generations" class="wp-image-188153" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
<p>The goal is for you to reach the highest ranking on the leaderboard in one of the different Leagues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Beginner</li>
<li>Junior</li>
<li>Rookie</li>
<li>Professional</li>
<li>Champion</li>
<li>Legend</li>
</ul>
<p>There are 3 levels per League with each level being divided into groups of players or teams, for human-sized competition:</p>
<ul>
<li>30 players per group in Solo Leagues</li>
<li>8 teams per group in Team Leagues</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<h2><strong>How the Progress Works</strong></h2>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<p>The Leagues mode works in Seasons, each season is made of 11 weeks with Season One starting on <strong>November 28</strong>! At the beginning, a Qualification Phase takes place for one week. The goal is to rank as high as possible from the start.</p>
<p>From this first ranking, the progress of the leagues follows its normal process. During the remaining 10 weeks you will have to participate in Daily and Weekly Events to move up in your group ranking.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/WRCG_Leagues_Ladder-2850e83047a3c681f037.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&ssl=1" alt="WRC Generations" class="wp-image-188154" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
<p>If you are familiar with how the Daily & Weekly Challenges worked in previous <em>WRC</em> titles you will feel a certain familiarity as they are randomly generated through the stages, cars & weather conditions available in <em>WRC Generations</em>.</p>

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<h2><strong> The Last of a Generation</strong></h2>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<p>2022 will see WRC transition to the hybrid era. A revolution for the rally world, significantly affecting performance, changing strategies, and making drivers and teams adapt. Not only that, <em>WRC Generations</em> adds new mechanics, improved physics, the ability for players to share their liveries and a new game mode – the Leagues!</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<h2><strong> Welcome to the Leagues</strong></h2>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<p>The Leagues Mode is the main competitive mode of <em>WRC Generations</em>. You will be able to play in parallel Solo Leagues and Team Leagues. The Leagues mode is divided in Seasons, split into weeks and at the end of a season, the best players will access the Hall of Fame.</p>
<p>In Solo Leagues, the points you’ve earned will determine your place in the standings. In Team Leagues, the points earned by all members in your team (up to 8 players) are added together to determine the team’s ranking.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/WRCG_Leagues_Standings-8cb57d23ee1902cd346d.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&ssl=1" alt="WRC Generations" class="wp-image-188153" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
<p>The goal is for you to reach the highest ranking on the leaderboard in one of the different Leagues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Beginner</li>
<li>Junior</li>
<li>Rookie</li>
<li>Professional</li>
<li>Champion</li>
<li>Legend</li>
</ul>
<p>There are 3 levels per League with each level being divided into groups of players or teams, for human-sized competition:</p>
<ul>
<li>30 players per group in Solo Leagues</li>
<li>8 teams per group in Team Leagues</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<h2><strong>How the Progress Works</strong></h2>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">
<p>The Leagues mode works in Seasons, each season is made of 11 weeks with Season One starting on <strong>November 28</strong>! At the beginning, a Qualification Phase takes place for one week. The goal is to rank as high as possible from the start.</p>
<p>From this first ranking, the progress of the leagues follows its normal process. During the remaining 10 weeks you will have to participate in Daily and Weekly Events to move up in your group ranking.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/WRCG_Leagues_Ladder-2850e83047a3c681f037.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&ssl=1" alt="WRC Generations" class="wp-image-188154" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
<p>If you are familiar with how the Daily & Weekly Challenges worked in previous <em>WRC</em> titles you will feel a certain familiarity as they are randomly generated through the stages, cars & weather conditions available in <em>WRC Generations</em>.</p>

<li>Get immersed in an unsettling mood with many religious, supernatural and superstitious influences, of a country in disarray</li>
<li>Play the game to discover the fate of Lazarus and his troubled and sinful family</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>Hi, I’m Catalin Marcu from GrimTalin, one of the two developers of <em>Last Days of Lazarus</em> – a dark post-communist adventure that tells a disturbing story about family, loss and sin. George, our game director from Darkania Works, and myself are extremely excited that our game is finally releasing on Xbox Series X.</p>
<p>While I joined the development of the game about a year into its making, I have instantly resonated with its setting into not only our country, Romania, but also in a difficult period for us: the post-communist transition period. I feel we have achieved our goal of highlighting, through a supernatural distorted lens, what our life was during those difficult years, as we ourselves were growing from kids to teenagers.</p>
<p>I was four and half when communism in Romania fell. While there wasn’t much unrest in the small town I grew up in, the big cities and our capital, Bucharest, were in a full Revolution. I remember one of those nights, as my dad was leaving for his night shift at the factory, he told me and my older brother: “Stay inside and behave. They’re shooting in Bucharest.” I don’t know how much I understood at that early age the gravity of what was happening, but my dad’s worried face conveyed it was something important and those words stayed with me.</p>
<p>What followed was the period of transition. A sacrificial generation as they called it. Our parents were supposed to sacrifice themselves to poverty and continuous struggles so that my generation would have a real chance at democratic life. Quite inspiring! What that really meant was the right people with the right connections got a free pass at looting almost everything from the country. It meant corruption ran rampant. It meant a generation that was still blocked and kept into the old way of thinking and surviving.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/Screenshot_01-2a2fba52365c6a31f014.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&ssl=1" alt="screenshot" class="wp-image-188065" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
<p>Communism didn’t disappear from our country overnight. Neither did all the cultural and commercial Russian influences. We still imported a lot of stuff from all the countries in the old communist bloc. That is the main reason there are so many items in our game that look like they’re from Russia. That’s why there are texts in Russian here and there. Some people might mistakenly think the game is set in Russia or that we placed those items in the game in error. In fact, that’s what our lives in Romania looked like back then.</p>
<p>During communism, one of the ways people coped was through religion and that remained a defining feature for us into the transition period. Our Orthodox Christianity has always been blended with many traditions, many of them of pagan nature. We are religious while also believing in ghosts, curses, disenchantments, fortune tellers and so on. For people on whom life has been particularly hard, it was common to become obsessed with religion and the belief in our superstitions. We wanted our game to illustrate as best we could this distorted view of Christianity.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/Screenshot_02-78aa4392b7e0e6f1728b.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&ssl=1" alt="screenshot" class="wp-image-188066" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
<p>Our country has always been praised for its beautiful scenery. This is also something we worked hard to bring in our game, with some eerily beautiful locations inspired by our real places and architecture, like the monasteries and the Bran orphanage, blended into lush forests.</p>
<p>I personally am super happy to have been given the chance to work on a game that highlights our country, its traditions and its difficult past. It’s a rare setting in games and I hope you will take the chance to explore it and take in all the details. And, of course, help our titular Lazarus find out the truth about his family’s troubled past and the fate of all of its members. <a href="https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/last-days-of-lazarus/9p2004jlwwkc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Last Days of Lazarus</em></a><em> </em>is out now on Xbox Series X|S!</p>

<div class="mspb-description"> Set in a post-soviet Eastern Europe, Last Days of Lazarus tells the story of a troubled man, long estranged, returning to his childhood home after his mother’s death to spend some time with his sister Lyudmila. But as the country around him seems to fall apart, so does reality itself, with a series of unexplainable events leading him on a quest to find out more about his family’s disturbing past. Last Days of Lazarus is a first-person adventure game with a strong narrative, rich visuals and supernatural elements, heavily inspired by post-communist Romania, its troubled history, eerie locations, religious beliefs and strange superstitions. As the story unravels, you’ll meet questionable characters whose corrupted version of the truth you’ll need to navigate. With a troubled past yourself, you’ll struggle not only with solving the mysteries laid upon you but also with keeping alive any sliver of hope for salvation. </div>

</div>
<p>Hi, I’m Catalin Marcu from GrimTalin, one of the two developers of <em>Last Days of Lazarus</em> – a dark post-communist adventure that tells a disturbing story about family, loss and sin. George, our game director from Darkania Works, and myself are extremely excited that our game is finally releasing on Xbox Series X.</p>
<p>While I joined the development of the game about a year into its making, I have instantly resonated with its setting into not only our country, Romania, but also in a difficult period for us: the post-communist transition period. I feel we have achieved our goal of highlighting, through a supernatural distorted lens, what our life was during those difficult years, as we ourselves were growing from kids to teenagers.</p>
<p>I was four and half when communism in Romania fell. While there wasn’t much unrest in the small town I grew up in, the big cities and our capital, Bucharest, were in a full Revolution. I remember one of those nights, as my dad was leaving for his night shift at the factory, he told me and my older brother: “Stay inside and behave. They’re shooting in Bucharest.” I don’t know how much I understood at that early age the gravity of what was happening, but my dad’s worried face conveyed it was something important and those words stayed with me.</p>
<p>What followed was the period of transition. A sacrificial generation as they called it. Our parents were supposed to sacrifice themselves to poverty and continuous struggles so that my generation would have a real chance at democratic life. Quite inspiring! What that really meant was the right people with the right connections got a free pass at looting almost everything from the country. It meant corruption ran rampant. It meant a generation that was still blocked and kept into the old way of thinking and surviving.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/Screenshot_01-2a2fba52365c6a31f014.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&ssl=1" alt="screenshot" class="wp-image-188065" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
<p>Communism didn’t disappear from our country overnight. Neither did all the cultural and commercial Russian influences. We still imported a lot of stuff from all the countries in the old communist bloc. That is the main reason there are so many items in our game that look like they’re from Russia. That’s why there are texts in Russian here and there. Some people might mistakenly think the game is set in Russia or that we placed those items in the game in error. In fact, that’s what our lives in Romania looked like back then.</p>
<p>During communism, one of the ways people coped was through religion and that remained a defining feature for us into the transition period. Our Orthodox Christianity has always been blended with many traditions, many of them of pagan nature. We are religious while also believing in ghosts, curses, disenchantments, fortune tellers and so on. For people on whom life has been particularly hard, it was common to become obsessed with religion and the belief in our superstitions. We wanted our game to illustrate as best we could this distorted view of Christianity.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/Screenshot_02-78aa4392b7e0e6f1728b.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&ssl=1" alt="screenshot" class="wp-image-188066" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
<p>Our country has always been praised for its beautiful scenery. This is also something we worked hard to bring in our game, with some eerily beautiful locations inspired by our real places and architecture, like the monasteries and the Bran orphanage, blended into lush forests.</p>
<p>I personally am super happy to have been given the chance to work on a game that highlights our country, its traditions and its difficult past. It’s a rare setting in games and I hope you will take the chance to explore it and take in all the details. And, of course, help our titular Lazarus find out the truth about his family’s troubled past and the fate of all of its members. <a href="https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/last-days-of-lazarus/9p2004jlwwkc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Last Days of Lazarus</em></a><em> </em>is out now on Xbox Series X|S!</p>

<li>You’re a detective, and a frog, and it’s time to solve some mysteries!</li>
<li>Question suspects, find clues and look through your (allegedly useless) magnifying glass</li>
<li>Available for the first time with Game Pass for PC!</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>Hello to all the cool cats and kittens reading this blog post right now. My name is Grace Bruxner, I’m the creative director of <em>Frog Detective</em> which was made with our studio Worm Club. You might be thinking, “This is a weird game for Xbox PC Game Pass to be promoting…” and you’d be right. However, it’s also a masterpiece and the best game ever made (don’t fight me on that), so I thought I’d give you a run down on what the series is all about.</p>
<p><em><a href="https://www.xbox.com/en-ca/games/store/frog-detective-the-entire-mystery/9n0m3gvb0knn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery</a></em> has you playing as the world’s second best investigator. Question suspects, find clues, look through your (allegedly useless) magnifying glass and solve three thrilling mysteries. The first mystery is a bite-sized conundrum, with Frog Detective heading to a remote island which has been plagued with reports of a very spooky ghost. Is there really a supernatural force at play, or is there perhaps something even more sinister going on? Or (more likely) nothing sinister at all. Experience the silliness that made <em>Frog Detective</em> into a modern indie classic.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/FD1_noodle-f4439b452925030cf6f4.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&ssl=1" alt="Noodle" class="wp-image-187963" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
<p>Hot off the case, Frog Detective has no time to rest! It’s time to solve The Case of the Invisible Wizard, which has our polite mannered detective whisked away to Warlock Woods, where a parade has been ruined right before it’s about to start. Featuring mind-blowing new notebook technology, and the introduction of an iconic character, <em>Frog Detective: the Entire Mystery</em> is even more action packed than the first adventure.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/FD3_scoot-dff317d6e88dc4b55b00.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&ssl=1" alt="Scoot" class="wp-image-187962" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
<p>The third and final case, Corruption at Cowboy County, is Frog Detective’s biggest yet. Fans have been asking for years for this conclusion, and we’ve made it worth the wait. Jam-packed with laughs, twists, spooks and shocks, the third case is the pinnacle of what <em>Frog Detective</em> can be. You’ll start by making your way to Cowboy County, where Frog Detective has been asked to help find a sheriff for the town. On arrival, the case has already been solved, and it seems like the fun is over before it’s begun. Not to worry though, as the new Sheriff has a task for the Detective—solving the first real crime that society has ever seen. But something is amiss here… Can you figure out what’s wrong before it’s too late?</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1902" height="1071" src="https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/FD2_notebook-52b2783e95feac8dfb5c.jpg?resize=1902%2C1071&ssl=1" alt="Notebook" class="wp-image-187961" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
<p>All three cases are scored masterfully by the wonderful Dan Golding. The soundtrack is so magnificent that it makes me self-conscious about the rest of the game’s quality in comparison, but I’ve been assured that all three cases are a delight to play. <em>Frog Detective</em> can be played by yourself, but we recommend bringing some friends over and sitting on the couch together to play, reading out the dialogue and performing as you go.</p>
<p>If that sounds fun to you, then you can play <a href="https://www.xbox.com/en-ca/games/store/frog-detective-the-entire-mystery/9n0m3gvb0knn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Frog Detective: the Entire Mystery</em> </a>right now with Game Pass for PC.</p>
<p>I hope you love our silly adventures, and I’m so thrilled to be able to introduce the game to a new audience!</p>

<div class="mspb-description"> You’re a detective, and a frog, and it’s time to solve 3 thrilling mysteries! For the first time, all 3 Frog Detective cases are available in one package. Play as the #2 best investigator as you find clues, question silly suspects, and look at things through your magnifying glass. Some nay-sayers have called the magnifying glass “useless”, but what do they know? In Case 1, The Haunted Island, a sloth has been haunted for weeks by a mysterious ghost that nobody can seem to track down. Even after hiring a team of ghost scientists, the mystery is no closer to being solved. Luckily for this tropical sloth, and unluckily for this pesky ghost, Frog Detective is here to crack the case! The Haunted Island is the first in this award-winning series, and this bite-sized mystery is what started an international cult obsession with the world of Frog Detective. In the second mystery, The Case of the Invisible Wizard, we follow the Detective to Warlock Woods, where a celebratory parade for their newest neighbour has been maliciously destroyed. Now the neighbour is nowhere to be seen, and the town is in ruin. Can Frog Detective get to the bottom of things? We sure hope so, otherwise the game would be a bummer. In the exciting series finale, Corruption at Cowboy County, The Detective and Lobster Cop are tasked to solve the conundrum of a sheriff-less town. But not all is as it seems here, when a surprisingly simple solution to the case reveals a sinister scheme. Maybe crime is real after all… This final mystery is jam-packed with twists and turns, a true love letter to the Frog Detective fans. Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery is a family-friendly yet witty take on the detective game genre. Solve the mysteries on your own, or play along with friends as you take turns reading out the dialogue. Think you can crack the case? </div>

<p>Seasons Greetings, friends!</p>
<p>For any new home invaders in our midst,<strong><em><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/Secret-Neighbor/9P7GBPGT90L3"> Secret Neighbor </a></em></strong>is an online multiplayer social horror game where the goal is to work together with other players to get into your suspicious neighbor’s basement. This isn’t just any senseless breaking and entering though, he’s hiding something and it’s up to you and the other kids to find out what. There’s only one problem, one of your friends is the neighbor in disguise…</p>
<p>With the most festive of holiday seasons just around the corner we’ve got some special surprises to drop under the tree, and you won’t even have to wait until Christmas day to unwrap them! So let’s dive in!</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/Screenshot2.jpg?w=940&resize=1920%2C1080" alt="Secret Neighbor Winter Holidays Update" class="wp-image-147935" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
</div>
<p><strong>Do you want to build a snowman? </strong><a href="https://emojipedia.org/snowflake/"><strong>❄️</strong></a><strong></strong></p>
<p>There’s nothing better than waking up to a snow day, and it looks like Raven Brooks has gotten its first snow of the year! In this winter update you’ll find the spooky decor swapped for something with a little more holiday cheer. The halls are decked, the gifts are wrapped with care, and you can deck someone with carefully wrapped gifts… wait.</p>
<p>Possible personal injury cases aside, we invite you to engage in more chilly shenanigans by building a snowman. You can create up to four sizes of snowballs, and can use these to build your own snow-army… or you can throw them into the faces of the nearest unsuspecting player. Your call.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/Screenshot1.jpg?w=940&resize=1920%2C1080" alt="Secret Neighbor Winter Holidays Update" class="wp-image-147934" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
</div>
<p>Speaking of throwing, what’s a holiday season without snowball fights with your friends? So grab a couple of snowballs and send ‘em flying! Just be sure to hop back indoors and warm up every so often.</p>
<p><strong>No we didn’t get you a pony</strong></p>
<p>Snowballs and snowmen are cool, but they aren’t the star on top of the tree. We have a special present for all our OG <em>Hello Neighbor </em>fans and lore hounds this year and it comes in the form of a new map! The new map is based on the neighbor’s house from Act 1 of <em>Hello Neighbor</em> and… the basement is<em> open?!</em></p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/Screenshot6.jpg?w=940&resize=1920%2C1080" alt="Secret Neighbor Winter Holidays Update" class="wp-image-147932" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
</div>
<p>We know you’ve always wondered what is actually in the basement, and now you can see for yourself! Explore the Peterson house and creep through the basement for more clues. But just because you’ve made it to the basement doesn’t mean the story is over. If you know what you’re looking for it may help to shed some light on the neighbor, Nicky’s disappearance, and the bigger mystery of what is going on in Raven Brooks. But be careful that you don’t wind up with more questions than answers.</p>
<p><strong>Bundle up boys and girls!</strong></p>
<p>Of course with every holiday update there are plenty of new cosmetics to nab. This year we’re bringing double denim back, and we’re not in the least bit sorry. You can find a set of denim digs for every kid class, as well as a few new standalone outfits for them. The new Butcher Neighbor class also gets a bit spoiled this update with a couple of new outfits!</p>

<p>Celebration of the Deadman’s 30th anniversary continues as wrestling fans can now get their hands on the Undertaker. While we may have seen the last of this version of Undertaker laying out AJ Styles at WrestleMania, fans can continue to lay waste to their opponents as him in <strong><em><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/WWE-2K-Battlegrounds/9PLGHH2VNRLX">WWE 2K Battlegrounds</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p>The new attire now gives fans three alternate attires of the Undertaker to unlock, which includes his old school gear from his 1990 debut. His base character is already available to all players right out of the gate without needing to unlock, giving players four versions in total, of the Undertaker to choose from.</p>

<p>But that’s not all! Today’s game update also includes the debut of Underataker’s unholy brother Kane, allowing fans to dominate the tag team scene with the Brothers of Destruction.</p>

<p>Celebration of the Deadman’s 30th anniversary continues as wrestling fans can now get their hands on the Undertaker. While we may have seen the last of this version of Undertaker laying out AJ Styles at WrestleMania, fans can continue to lay waste to their opponents as him in <strong><em><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/WWE-2K-Battlegrounds/9PLGHH2VNRLX">WWE 2K Battlegrounds</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p>The new attire now gives fans three alternate attires of the Undertaker to unlock, which includes his old school gear from his 1990 debut.

<div><div class="media_block"><img src="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/WOTC_6.0_Wire_KeyArt-1.jpg?resize=1200%2C675" class="media_thumbnail"></div>

<div class="wp-block-xbox-summary">
<h3>Summary</h3>
<ul>
<li>This December brings the most expansive update to <em>World of Tanks</em> <em>Console</em> yet, including a complete refresh of the game’s interface and user experience and a new season of content: the <em>World of Tanks: Action Heroes</em> season.</li>
<li>At the heart of the Action Heroes season are three new tanks for players to acquire, each under the command of a 1980s action hero: Rambo (from “First Blood”), Snake Plissken (from “Escape From New York”), and Colonel James Braddock (from “Missing in Action”).</li>
<li>This update will also completely revamp the game’s look and feel and improve the key systems that players use to make their tanks more powerful on the battlefield.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>As members of the team behind <em>World of Tanks Console</em>, we don’t believe there is such a thing as “too big.” Heck, <em>World of Tanks</em> features 40-ton steel beasts decimating each other in explosive battlefield matches.</p>
<p>So, when we say that our December update is big, we mean it. And it all starts with the biggest action heroes in the world attached to our latest season of content: <em>World of Tanks: Action Heroes</em>!</p>
<p>Like our previous seasons, <em>World of Tanks: Action Heroes</em> gives you the chance to rise through a total of 100 Levels by earning XP in multiplayer battles. Reaching new Levels will grant you all sorts of in-game rewards, including silver, consumables, and special emblems to use when customizing your tanks. Want even more content? You can grab a Season Pass or Ultimate Pass from the Store to unlock sweet rewards every Level!</p>

</div>
</figure>
<p>But we know what tankers truly want: New tanks. This season, you’ll get the opportunity to own tanks under the command of some of the biggest names from classic action movies.</p>
<p>That’s right, <em>World of Tanks: Action Heroes</em> is bringing three 1980s action movie characters straight to our battlefield: John Rambo from “First Blood,” “Rambo: First Blood Part II,” and “Rambo III;” Snake Plissken from “Escape From New York;” and Colonel James Braddock, made famous by Chuck Norris in “Missing in Action.”</p>
<p>Each action hero will be in command of his own uniquely designed limited-edition tank, available only during the <em>World of Tanks Action Heroes</em> season. </p>
<p><strong>John Rambo will be in charge of the distinctly American Concept 1B tank.</strong></p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/APPROVED_Rambo_Alternative_1920x1080.jpg?w=940&resize=1920%2C1080" alt="World of Tanks Action Heroes" class="wp-image-147661" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
</div>
<p><strong>Snake Plissken will command the lethal Object 268 Version V.</strong></p>
<div class="wp-block-image">

</div>
<p><strong>And none other than the legendary James Braddock will call the shots in the legendary Strv K.</strong></p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/APPROVED_Braddock-Alternative-Key-Art_1920x1080.jpg?w=940&resize=1920%2C1080" alt="World of Tanks Action Heroes" class="wp-image-147660" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
</div>
<p>Don’t forget: these three mega-action tanks are available only through the <em>World of Tanks Action Heroes </em>season. Once the season ends in February, these heroes are leaving the battlefield behind!</p>
<p>In case the <em>Action Heroes </em>season wasn’t big enough, we’re also launching the most massive overhaul to the look and feel of <em>World of Tanks</em> that we’ve undertaken yet. On December 8, you’ll see a brand-new user interface that’s cleaner, meaner, and easier to navigate to make sure you get the most out of your time on the battlefield.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/WOTC_AH_Wire_BodyImage.jpg?w=940&resize=1920%2C1080" alt="World of Tanks Action Heroes" class="wp-image-147664" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
</div>
<p>We’re also updating some of the core systems in the game for modifying and enhancing your tanks’ performance. The <strong>Commander System</strong> will replace the existing Crews setup but will function in a similar way, allowing your tank’s commander to learn skills that will give you added abilities in battle.</p>
<p>Two other handy systems, <strong>equipment, </strong>and <strong>consumables, </strong>will be updated with new and improved items to load onto your tanks, allowing you to customize the way you destroy your enemies!</p>
<p>That’s just the tip of the iceberg of what’s waiting for you in <em>World of Tanks</em>. It’s going to be a legendary December, so log in, be part of the new season, enjoy all the new features we’ve created, and roll out!</p>

<p>But we know what tankers truly want: New tanks. This season, you’ll get the opportunity to own tanks under the command of some of the biggest names from classic action movies.</p>
<p>That’s right, <em>World of Tanks: Action Heroes</em> is bringing three 1980s action movie characters straight to our battlefield: John Rambo from “First Blood,” “Rambo: First Blood Part II,” and “Rambo III;” Snake Plissken from “Escape From New York;” and Colonel James Braddock, made famous by Chuck Norris in “Missing in Action.”</p>
<p>Each action hero will be in command of his own uniquely designed limited-edition tank, available only during the <em>World of Tanks Action Heroes</em> season. </p>
<p><strong>John Rambo will be in charge of the distinctly American Concept 1B tank.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Snake Plissken will command the lethal Object 268 Version V.</strong></p>

<p><strong>And none other than the legendary James Braddock will call the shots in the legendary Strv K.</strong></p>

</div>
<p>Don’t forget: these three mega-action tanks are available only through the <em>World of Tanks Action Heroes </em>season. Once the season ends in February, these heroes are leaving the battlefield behind!</p>
<p>In case the <em>Action Heroes </em>season wasn’t big enough, we’re also launching the most massive overhaul to the look and feel of <em>World of Tanks</em> that we’ve undertaken yet. On December 8, you’ll see a brand-new user interface that’s cleaner, meaner, and easier to navigate to make sure you get the most out of your time on the battlefield.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/WOTC_AH_Wire_BodyImage.jpg?w=940&resize=1920%2C1080" alt="World of Tanks Action Heroes" class="wp-image-147664" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
</div>
<p>We’re also updating some of the core systems in the game for modifying and enhancing your tanks’ performance. The <strong>Commander System</strong> will replace the existing Crews setup but will function in a similar way, allowing your tank’s commander to learn skills that will give you added abilities in battle.</p>
<p>Two other handy systems, <strong>equipment, </strong>and <strong>consumables, </strong>will be updated with new and improved items to load onto your tanks, allowing you to customize the way you destroy your enemies!</p>
<p>That’s just the tip of the iceberg of what’s waiting for you in <em>World of Tanks</em>. It’s going to be a legendary December, so log in, be part of the new season, enjoy all the new features we’ve created, and roll out!</p>

<div class="entry-main entry-main--post entry-main--post-no-sidebar">
<p>Last week at The Game Awards, Studio Wildcard took their next dinosaur-sized step with the Ark franchise and thrilled the world by announcing <strong><em>Ark II</em></strong>. The reveal trailer (above) was fully captured in-engine and showcases some of the features and gameplay fans can expect when it arrives as an Xbox Series X|S console launch exclusive in 2022.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1016" src="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/ARK2_1.jpg?w=940&resize=1920%2C1016" alt="Ark II" class="wp-image-147541" data-recalc-dims="1"></figure>
</div>
<p>The Ark franchise has a long-storied history with the Xbox community. <strong><em>Ark: Survival Evolved</em></strong> was a console launch exclusive in the Xbox Game Preview program in December 2015, gaining valuable feedback from Xbox One players along the way before launching in August 2017. When Xbox One X launched in November 2017, it was one of the first Xbox One X Enhanced titles. Then in January 2019, Xbox Game Pass members joined the Ark community then gained access to the Scorched Earth, Aberration, and Extinction DLC. <em>Ark: Survival Evolved</em> is also <a href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/11/20/inside-xbox-series-xs-optimized-ark-survival-evolved/">one of the first titles to be optimized for Xbox Series X|S</a>.</p>

</div>
<p>Now with <em>Ark II</em>, players will be thrust into a brutal new world of primitive survival against both beast and man, facing down the ever-present threats of hyper-realistic intelligent dinosaurs, aggressive alien fauna, and the exotic environments of an unearthly planet. Survivors will continue Ark’s dramatic eons-spanning story of humankind’s evolution, in this next-generation sandbox survival experience.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">

</div>
<p><em>Ark II</em> will also feature Vin Diesel as a hero character, Santiago, who will also be a crossover character in the upcoming “Ark: The Animated Series.” While Vin Diesel will lend his acting talents to <em>Ark II</em>, he is also a massive fan of the franchise, now serving as an executive producer on the game’s sequel and having logged over 1,000 hours in <em>Ark: Survival Evolved</em>.</p>
