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

Path of Exile Coming Soon to Xbox One

by Chris Wilson, Co-founder of Grinding Gear Games Posted on

We're excited to announce that Path of Exile is coming to Xbox One this year! Our game is a modern twist on the traditional isometric Action RPG (ARPG), played on a persistent online realm where players conquer foes and hunt for rare items together. As your wealth grows, you can trade your items to build the ultimate character. We started developing Path of Exile 10 years ago, as a small group of friends who met playing online ARPGs. After seven years of development, we launched Path of Exile on PC to great acclaim, winning Gamespot's PC Game of the Year and other awards. Support from our 16 million players enabled us to expand Grinding Gear Games over the next few years to a team of... Read more

Rise & Shine Now Available for Xbox One

by Enrique Corts, Artist and Game Designer for Rise & Shine Posted on

When we started developing Rise & Shine three years ago we had the intention, as we always do, of making an obsessively polished experience for gamers to enjoy. If we’ve learned anything while working on past projects like Plants VS Zombies, it’s that gameplay is king. In the case of Rise & Shine, we made sure you feel that buttery smooth precision each time you holster Shine, a very talkative gun that doubles as Rise’s companion. We created the game to be challenging at every moment and players are sure to die a lot, but you’ll also get better each step of the way. Trust us, finding your way out of the tricky situations we’ve cooked up is going to feel... Read more
