What’s more, Xbox Game Studios and Stoic are planning Towerborne as a cross-gen game (their announcement is not lying), which is incredible considering that by the time the game is released, the Xbox One will be over ten years old.

Here’s the game’s overview: “The Belfry stands as a beacon of hope and safety amongst the ruins of humanity and the City of Numbers, with monsters lurking right outside the tower’s walls. You are an Ace, born anew from the spirit realm with the skills, the grit, and the determination to protect the people of the Belfry. With spirit companions fighting by your side, you are destined for battle. Can you become the Ace humanity needs to survive? Find out in Towerborne, the newest action-adventure game created by Stoic, the studio that brought you the award-winning Banner Saga trilogy.

Venture out of The Belfry solo or with up to three other Aces to defeat the looming terror surrounding the tower. Either way, you won’t be alone. Aces can recruit Umbra companions to join them in battle, gaining access to enhanced skills and unique abilities tied to each spirit. After fighting through enemies, return to The Belfry to turn in quests, reforge gear, and more. Towerborne is designed with player choice in mind. Create your Ace with options to customize your looks, equipment, and weapons. Switch up your gameplay experience anytime by changing your danger level as you venture into the wilds. Find and wield potent weapons with unique special moves from one of four styles: War Clubs, Gauntlets, Dual Daggers, and Swords & Shields. Mix and match to make your Ace your own! With an evolving world map and seasonal content, your Ace will never run out of areas to explore and enemies to defeat. Seasons of Towerborne continue the story of The Belfry by introducing new enemies to battle, regions to discover, abilities to master, and lore to uncover (available as released).”

The action-adventure genre Towerborne will be released sometime in 2024 for Xbox Series, PC (Steam, Microsoft Store) and Xbox One, but will of course also be available on Game Pass.
