Tanuki: Pon’s Summer time
- Developer: Denkiworks
- Launch window: late 2025
- Platforms: Xbox Collection X|S, Xbox One, PC
- Becoming a member of Recreation Move: Sure
Video games the place you play as an lovely creature residing its greatest cozy life are all the time a winner in my eyes. There’s one thing charming about combining their day job (farming, baking, making sushi, or on this case, supply by BMX wizardry) with serving to out their neighbors and restoring the city, despite the fact that it means your overworked character (be they tanuki, cat, or harassed farmer) typically finally ends up doing all the pieces by themselves.
In Tanuki: Pon’s Summer time, Pon is a supply tanuki searching for to earn sufficient cash earlier than the Tanuki Pageant to have the ability to restore the Nice Tanuki God’s shrine. He is acquired a part-time job on the Submit Workplace to assist with these efforts however goes about these supply jobs in his personal style with BMX abilities. Within the midst of all this work, Pon additionally takes the occasional break to play at some baseball, sumo wrestling, or the drums, and making new associates.

Soar Ship
- Developer: Memento Video games
- Launch date: Launching into early entry this summer time
- Platforms: Xbox Collection X|S, PC
- Becoming a member of Recreation Move? No
Soar Ship caught my eye a few years in the past when it was being developed beneath the identify of Hyperspace. It’s a four-player co-op FPS that sees you touring the universe in your spaceship and exploring planets on foot, battling enemies as you scavenge for elements to improve, restore, and keep your ship.
It appears to be like like superior enjoyable, and developer Memento Video games says we’ll have the ability to embark on a “number of hand-crafted missions with random parts,” seamlessly switching between working our ship, exploring planets on foot, and even spacewalking. It’s a PvE recreation, and whereas co-op is there, you’re free to discover Soar Ship alone should you choose. I’m wanting ahead to this one!

Buckshot Roulette
- Developer: Mike Klubnika
- Launch date: “Quickly”
- Platforms: Xbox Collection X|S, PC
- Becoming a member of Recreation Move? Sure
I really like bizarre little horror experiences like The Exit 8 and Inscryption, and it’s good to see Xbox getting one other one with Buckshot Roulette. For those who’re unfamiliar with the sport, it’s a tabletop horror recreation the place you play Russian roulette in opposition to a mysterious supplier with a shotgun. It’s a recreation of excessive stakes that requires some strategic pondering, thanks to varied energy ups, and it’s all wrapped up on this bizarre gritty visible artwork fashion that I really like.
It prompted fairly a buzz amongst PC gamers when it first launched on itch.io again in 2023, and I’ve performed quite a lot of it since then. What I haven’t checked out is the multiplayer that was added in a latest Steam replace, however I can think about it’s a wild journey stuffed with pressure and betrayal.
An Xbox launch date hasn’t been introduced for Buckshot Roulette — all we all know is that it’s coming quickly to each Recreation Move and PC Recreation Move. Hopefully, we gained’t have too lengthy to attend.
