At the recent X018 event, Microsoft revealed a new IP inspired by old-school sci-fi and several games from the immersive-sim sub-genre. Coming from developers behind System Shock and BioShock, Void Bastards puts you in the role of one of many prisoners aboard the Void Ark, which finds itself adrift in a hostile interstellar zone known as the Sargasso Nebula. Referred to as a strategy-shooter, Void Bastards blends together traditional shooter gameplay with roguelike mechanics, where the death of one character will be the start of another person’s journey.

Published by Humble Bundle and set for release on PC and Xbox One, Void Bastards focuses on the exploration of the Sargasso Nebula, and surviving the dangers that outer space possess. After choosing your character, you’ll chart out your course in the hostile nebula, exploring many derelict space stations and alien worlds. Over the course of your character’s journey, you’ll acquiring new weapons and abilities, which will help you survive the many threats you’ll encounter in space.

With a strong roguelike influence, Void Bastards also places focus on having players decide where they should go next. While one location in the nebula could have minimal risk and high rewards, one remote space station could lead to certain doom for your character, costing you precious resources and the life of your chosen character.

It was also revealed that Void Bastards would be available on Xbox One Game Pass at launch. During the XO18 livestream, Microsoft revealed 16 games coming to their Game Pass program, which includes Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and PUBG. For more info on the X018 reveals, in addition to Crackdown 3‘s release date, be sure to check out our continuing coverage of the game.

Final Fantasy 13 Games Coming to Xbox Backwards Compatibility

During Microsoft’s Inside Xbox: X018 Special, it was revealed that all three Final Fantasy 13 games will be backwards compatible on Xbox One next week.

Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will all be playable on Xbox One, with Xbox One X enhancements, beginning next Tuesday, November 13.

Final Fantasy XIII was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010 and in our review, we said that FFXIII is “a great JRPG” but “hardcore Final Fantasy fans might be disappointed by the game’s abandonment of franchise traditions like open worlds, town exploration and complex mini-games.”

Why Grindelwald Is More Dangerous than Voldemort

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is shaping up to bring its titular character into the spotlight, giving Harry Potter fans a chance to see one of the series’ most formidable villains in action at the height of his power.

Why is the focus on Grindelwald as a villain especially intriguing? In the original books, Voldemort is considered the evilest Dark Wizard of all time. In retrospect, Grindelwald was not crueler than Voldemort. He wasn’t decisively more powerful than Voldemort. Instead, what makes the focus on Grindelwald so exciting is that he was probably more dangerous than Voldemort — a notion that has everything to do with his relationship with an unequivocal good guy: Albus Dumbledore.
