Legend of Mana, Trials of Mana, All You Need is Help, and We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie all available on Game Pass September 26th 2024

All You Need is Help (Cloud, Console, and PC) - Available Today
Brought to you by Q-Games, the creators behind such classics as PixelJunk Monsters and PixelJunk Shooter, this innovative cooperative multiplayer game introduces a fresh new way to play with your friends. Dive into a quirky multiplayer co-op puzzle game where adorable, fluffy cube-shaped creatures collaborate to reach their goals.

These creatures, each oddly shaped, jostle against each other to help solve puzzles together.

When in trouble, shout "HELP!" and friends will surely come to your aid. With everyone's strength, turn friendships into friend-shapes!

We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie (Cloud, and Console) - Available Today
The King of the Cosmos once accidentally destroyed all the stars in the universe. He sent his son, the Prince, to Earth and ordered him to create a large katamari.

The Prince rolled the katamari and made the katamari bigger and bigger, rolling up all the things on the earth. The katamari that he created floated in space, sparkling, and brought back the lost starry sky.

As the starry sky was restored, the King's fans gradually grew in number all over the world. The King wanted to respond to the wishes of his fans for his success, and the Prince kept rolling the katamari to make everyone's dreams come true.

Trials of Mana – Available with Game Pass Today!
This is a beautifully vibrant action-RPG where you pick a party of three very different heroes from a selection of six – and depending on who you choose, you'll experience a different narrative as you play through the game. There's Duran, the ab-tastic swordsman; Kevin the ferocious Beastman; Reisz, the warrior Amazonian, Charlotte, the elfin magician; Angela, the maligned mage, and Hawkeye, the charming thief.

Whichever party you build, you'll explore a beautiful and vibrant 3D world, taking on enemies and uncovering secrets as you go. With fast-paced action, tons of character customization through the class system and incredible music, it's a wonderfully fun and compelling RPG. In other words, exactly what you'd expect from a Mana game!

Legend of Mana – Available with Game Pass Today!
You play as a protagonist (yes, you get to name them), who sets off on a journey to find the mystical Mana Tree. But when you set off, you're surprised to discover that the world map is empty… and it's up to you to fill it in.

Instead of one narrative, you'll play through up to 68 quests, and while they tie in with three central arcs, each has their own story to tell. You can play through these quests in different orders, and as you play you'll create your own world map.

This remastered version of the classic game features beautifully crisp redrawn backgrounds (they're really pretty!), and an incredible soundtrack by Yoko Shimomura – the composer behind the Kingdom Hearts series, Final Fantasy XV and many more! Add fast-paced combat, a lot of choice over how to build and customize your character and you have a free-form adventure that's unlike anything else out there.

Game Pass subscribers have just a few months to wait before they can start shooting their way through the Sniper Elite: Resistance. Rebellion has now announced a Sniper Elite: Resistance release date, confirming that the stealthy third-person shooter will launch for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on January 30, 2025. It will also join Xbox Game Pass on day one.



Playing as Special Operation Executive agent Harry Hawker in a new standalone story, you will travel to the heart of occupied France to stop the Nazis from building and completing a new wonder weapon. If you're familiar with the Sniper Elite franchise, you'll know what to expect from Resistance: more sniping with that glorious X-ray kill cam and some excellent stealth third-person combat. How you complete each mission in Resistance is up to you — do you take out everyone from as far away as possible or go in all guns blazing? Whatever you choose, you will have multiple infiltration and extraction points at your disposal and an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry to bring down both your main and optional targets. The multiplayer Invasion mode is also making a comeback with Resistance, so you'll need to keep an eye out for other players.

Interestingly, Resistance introduces a new side mission to the series called Propaganda Missions, where you are tasked with locating a unique propaganda poster in each of the main campaign's levels to unlock a Propaganda Mission in which you take on the role of a resistance fighter.
