Unleash Your Imagination and Become a Doodle God Today

by Paul Baldwin, Marketing Manager at JoyBits Posted on

We're pleased to bring you the best version ever of Doodle God to the Xbox One. Our studio wanted to create a new kind of world building game that combined the centuries old concept of alchemy with traditional building mechanics. First and foremost, Doodle God: Ultimate Edition is fun but the game will also push your imagination and creativity. Players start with the four basic elements: fire, earth, wind, and air and then use their logic and ingenuity to eventually build airplanes, armies, skyscrapers, storms, aliens… you name it. You can build it in Doodle God: Ultimate Edition. Our team has been working on new content and features over the last three years.  Doodle God:... Read more

Magic Duels “Aether Revolt” Available Now on Xbox One

by Matt Tabak, Senior Editor at Magic Research and Development Posted on

Aether Revolt, the sixth major expansion in Magic Duels on Xbox One, is all about adding powerful cards, cool new strategies, and a lot of refinements to Xbox One multiplayer. The world of Kaladesh that we introduced in the last Magic Duels expansion is a world of bold optimism. Invention and ingenuity are held in the highest regard. But as they often do in a game about conflict, things have taken a dark turn. The ruling Consulate has restricted aether access, confiscated inventions, and locked up inventors. This doesn’t sit well with the people of Kaladesh, so a revolt is on. And now, it’s time to take the power back in Aether Revolt. When developing this expansion, we wanted... Read more

Gamers Thrown into Real-World Battle for Halo Wars 2

by Mike Nelson, Xbox Wire Editor Posted on

Halo Wars 2, Xbox, and 343 Industries have brought the intensity of battle to gamers through a dramatic real-world combat experience inspired by the Halo universe. Unaware of the test ahead, fans were led into a Halo-themed military command center where a conventional demonstration quickly turned into an onslaught of action and chaos, as the frenetic nature of battle was captured with UNSC unit commanders requesting orders. The new recruits quickly realized that they were in the hot seat, tasked with saving their own lives and their units, with no other tools other than their quick strategic thinking. Some panicked at the situation; others began to embrace it. Find out who rose to... Read more

I Am Bread Slices Its Way Onto Xbox One Today

by Rob Gotlieb, Head of Marketing at Bossa Studios Posted on

At last, video game’s unlikeliest hero has climbed onto Xbox One: I Am Bread is here! In our game, players control a lovable slice of bread with the objective of becoming the greatest version of itself -- toast -- all the while taking care to avoid any hazards on its way to a suitable heat source. With its intentionally tough to master controls (who thought moving bread was easy?), only the most determined players will be able to guide their gluten through various levels in and around an unsuspecting man’s home, while slowly robbing him of his sanity. I Am Bread’s origins were formed during a game jam at Bossa Studios, where the team had just 48 hours to rapidly build and... Read more

You wake up during the annual masked ball thrown by the owner, the enigmatic, Marquis, only to discover two unexpected things: the staff are murdering the guests and there may be some occult activity happening time and time again.
