This is another big week for Microsoft as it unveils a number of new games coming to Xbox and Xbox Game Pass. This week is an interesting one with a pretty wide array of games available. So whether you’re in the mood for an RPG (ELEX II) or a goofy battle royale (Conan Chop Chop) or just some retro goodness (Legend of Ixtona), there’s something for everyone. Let’s check out what you can already get your hands on and what’s coming in the balance of the week.

Fallen corporate shogun Lo Wang and his former employer turned nemesis turned sidekick Orochi Zilla embark on an improbable mission to recapture an ancient dragon they unwillingly unleashed from its eternal prison. Armed with a punishing mix of blades and bullets, Lo Wang must traverse uncharted parts of the world to track down the dark beast and push the apocalypse back yet again. All it will take is the mask of a dead god, a dragon’s egg, a touch of magic, and enough firepower to hold off the impending cataclysm.

You will have to play the character whose path runs through the deserted towns and cities in Russia, fields and forests of a vast country, and even a secret underground facility.
