Back to the Dawn Joins Game Pass: A New Adventure Awaits
Game Pass just got a major upgrade with the addition of the critically acclaimed prison survival RPG, Back to the Dawn. This pixel art role-playing game launched its 1.0 version on Steam, where it’s currently riding high with an “overwhelmingly positive” user rating. Notably, July 18 also marks the game’s debut on consoles, much to the excitement of fans.
This game has been on the radar, earning multiple award nominations leading up to its official launch, including a nod for Best Game at the 2024 BIG Festival. It’s a must-play for anyone who enjoys deep storytelling and survival mechanics.
Players step into the paws of Thomas the Fox, an investigative journalist who’s been framed for uncovering government secrets and thrown into the brutal confines of Boulderton Prison. With a clock ticking against them, survival goes beyond just staying alive; it’s about building trust, uncovering allies, and planning a daring escape.
What Else is Coming to Game Pass?
Outside of Back to the Dawn, several other exciting titles are set to drop on Game Pass this July. Look out for RoboCop: Rogue City, which is now available across Cloud, PC, and console. Additionally, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, a new soulslike developed by Leenzee and published by 505 Games, will join the Game Pass lineup on its release day, July 24.
On the horizon, Microsoft has announced that titles like Gigantic, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and Turnip Boy Robs a Bank will be leaving Game Pass soon, so players should be ready to manage their library accordingly.
Back to the Dawn is also available for purchase on Xbox Series X|S for $19.99, with a limited-time 15% discount for the launch week bringing it down to $16.99. This offers a tempting deal for those looking to dive into its engaging narrative.
