Xbox Game Pass to Welcome New Titles, Including Doom: The Dark Ages
Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass can look forward to a host of new titles joining the service in May, according to a report from CNET. The line-up includes popular games such as Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Dungeons of Hinterberg, and the highly anticipated Doom: The Dark Ages.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, a CNET Editors’ Choice award pick, offers hundreds of games that can be played on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and PC or mobile devices for $20 a month. A subscription provides access to a vast library of games, with new titles added monthly, as well as other benefits such as online multiplayer and deals on non-Game Pass titles.
One of the most significant additions to the service is Doom: The Dark Ages, which is set to launch on May 15. This new installment in the storied Doom franchise takes place before Doom (2016) and follows the Doom Slayer on his battles through a medieval Hell. The game promises to be an exciting addition to the series, with a shield that doubles as a chainsaw, a gun that grinds up skulls for ammo, and a dragon.
As CNET reports, "The wait is almost over. In just a few days, Microsoft will bring the next installment in the storied Doom franchise to Game Pass, and I couldn’t be more excited. This entry takes place before Doom (2016) and follows the Doom Slayer on his battles through a medieval Hell. There’s a shield that doubles as a chainsaw, a gun that grinds up skulls for ammo and a dragon. It’s going to be awesome."
Other titles joining Game Pass in May include Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, an action roleplaying fighting game where players can create their own custom character and battle some of the strongest fighters in the universe. Dungeons of Hinterberg, a dungeon-crawling adventure, is also set to join the service, offering a charming and colorful package that combines combat, exploration, and social game elements.
Additionally, Game Pass subscribers can look forward to Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, an action RPG game where players take on the role of an elite member of a coalition army, using melee, gunpowder, and magical abilities to fight. Metal Slug Tactics, a turn-based tactics game with RPG and roguelike elements, is also set to join the service, offering a new take on the classic Metal Slug series.
Revenge of the Savage Planet, a satirical sci-fi adventure, is another title joining Game Pass, where players must use their wits to survive on a planet and get revenge against their former corporate overlord. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed, a new adventure featuring the heroes in a halfshell, is also set to join the service, offering a fun and action-packed experience.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2, a co-op action game, is set to return to Game Pass on May 13, offering intense first-person combat and a range of playable characters. Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, a papercraft adventure game, is also joining the service on May 16, offering a whimsical and colorful experience.
Finally, Firefighting Simulator: The Squad and Police Simulator: Patrol Officers are set to join Game Pass on May 20, offering a realistic simulation of firefighting and policing.
However, it’s not all good news, as Microsoft is removing five games from the service on May 15. Subscribers still have time to finish their campaigns and sidequests before having to buy these games separately.
