‘Marvel Cosmic Invasion’ (2025)
Tribute Games and Dotemu bring arcade nostalgia to modern consoles with ‘Marvel Cosmic Invasion’, releasing on December 1, 2025.

‘She’s Leaving’ (2025)
Developed by Blue Hat Studio and published by Perp Games, this psychological survival horror title hits Xbox platforms on December 2, 2025. Players assume the role of Charles Dalton, a forensic blood-spatter analyst investigating a series of disappearances in the eerie House Haywood. Unlike typical shooters, ‘She’s Leaving’ forces you to rely on forensic evidence collection and a limited taser to survive against an unkillable stalker. The game emphasizes tension and puzzle-solving over direct combat, creating a terrifying atmosphere where every sound could signal danger.
‘Blood: Refreshed Supply’ (2025)
Nightdive Studios and Atari resurrect a cult classic with ‘Blood: Refreshed Supply’, launching on December 4, 2025. This definitive remaster rebuilds the 1997 shooter using the original source code, delivering 4K visuals and 120 FPS support for Xbox Series X. Gamers control Caleb, an undead gunslinger seeking vengeance against the dark god Tchernobog using unique weapons like voodoo dolls and flare guns. The release includes the brand-new Marrow scenario, adding fresh content to the beloved boomer shooter formula for longtime fans.
‘Octopath Traveler 0’ (2025)
Square Enix expands its HD-2D universe with ‘Octopath Traveler 0’, arriving on December 4, 2025. Serving as a prequel to the main series, this title adapts the ‘Champions of the Continent’ storyline into a premium console experience without microtransactions. Players explore the realm of Orsterra through three distinct narrative branches centered on the themes of wealth, power, and fame. The game introduces new town-building mechanics in Wishvale, adding a layer of strategic depth to the traditional turn-based combat system.
‘Routine’ (2025)
After a legendary development cycle, Lunar Software and Raw Fury finally release ‘Routine’ on December 4, 2025. This first-person sci-fi horror game immerses players in an abandoned lunar base designed with a distinct 80s retro-future aesthetic. You must survive against hostile robots using only a Cosmonaut Assistance Tool to interact with systems and hide from threats in a non-linear environment. The title launches directly into Xbox Game Pass, delivering a chilling experience where permadeath is a constant looming threat.
‘Unbeatable’ (2025)
D-Cell Games and Playstack deliver the stylish rhythm-adventure ‘Unbeatable’ to Xbox consoles on December 9, 2025. Set in a world where music is illegal, players control a band of rebels fighting against the policing forces of H.A.R.M. The gameplay blends narrative exploration with high-energy arcade rhythm battles powered by an anime-inspired visual style. Every note matters in this emotional journey that celebrates the power of expression in an oppressive society.
‘Mutant Football League 2’ (2025)
Digital Dreams Entertainment brings violence back to the gridiron with ‘Mutant Football League 2’ on December 10, 2025. This arcade sports sequel ramps up the chaos with 8-on-8 matches featuring mutants, skeletons, and orcs clashing in deadly arenas. New hazards like buzzsaws and landmines litter the field, ensuring that survival is just as important as scoring touchdowns. The game features a deep Dynasty Supreme mode, allowing players to build a championship team through strategic brutality and underhanded tactics.
