New Xbox Game Pass release proves why Microsoft is king of subscriptions | Gaming | Entertainment

Microsoft has announced plans to bring Star Wars Jedi Survivor to Xbox Game Pass later this week. The superb Star Wars Fallen Order sequel launched to critical acclaim in 2023, making it another fantastic addition to the Game Pass library. Almost a year since launch, Jedi Survivor has been confirmed for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play. Star Wars Jedi Survivor will join Microsoft and EA’s subscription service on April 25. It follows today’s Game Pass release of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, as well as Another Crab’s Treasure on April 25, Manor Lords on April 26 and Have a Nice Death on April 30.

Taking place five years after its predecessor, Jedi Survivor sees Cal Kestis once again take on the Empire.

“This narratively driven, single-player title picks up 5 years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and follows Cal’s increasingly desperate fight as the galaxy descends further into darkness,” reads the official description.

“Pushed to the edges of the galaxy by the Empire, Cal will find himself surrounded by threats new and familiar.

“As one of the last surviving Jedi Knights, Cal is driven to make a stand during the galaxy’s darkest times — but how far is he willing to go to protect himself, his crew, and the legacy of the Jedi Order?”

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, on the other hand, is a Japanese role-playing game set in a beautiful hand-crafted world.

“Gather your allies for Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, the grand JRPG adventure.

“Assemble your 6-party team from a cast of over a hundred heroes and shape your destiny in this lush, hand-crafted 2.5D world brimming with war, intrigue, and magic.

“Manage your town of vibrant characters, play delightful mini-games, and prepare for an unforgettable narrative of boundless charm.”
