Here you will find all the announcements from the Xbox Partner Showcase for November 20, 2025.
Armatus
The showcase started with the announcement ofArmatuswhich here marks the great return of Counterplay Games, a studio which has come a long way after the hell experienced on Godfall. We even thought he was dead and buried, but here he is with this new rogue-lite action game which will allow us to roam the streets of Paris to kill demons by the dozen. Here we will play as a warrior summoned by a mysterious Order, who must clean up our capital depopulated by humans, by chaining runs and finding different weapons along the way. The game will be available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series and even Switch 2, with availability in Game Pass.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu
- Release date : summer 2026
The cooperative game The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu came to remind us that he will offer us an experience where we will have to pay attention to everything around us, being attentive to what is real and what is not, if you do not want to mow down your companions inadvertently. The video presented here reveals a little gameplay for the game from Nacon and Ace Team, with the promise of a release in summer 2026.
Dave the Diver
- Release date : Available now
Nothing stops Dave the Diverwhose success was undoubtedly greater than the Mintroket studio could have anticipated. While a new DLC is being prepared for early 2026 with new biomes to explore in the jungle, we especially learn that the game is coming to Xbox Series, and even to Xbox One.
Crowsworn
- Release date : Unknown
If Hollow Knight Silksong didn’t give you your dose of metroidvania, you can watch carefully Crowswornwhich reveals gameplay while allowing us to admire its dark universe in a new video. This was notably there to announce that the game will arrive in Game Pass upon its release.
Echo Generation 2
- Release date : Unknown
The voxel RPG will have a sequel with Echo Generation 2which reveals its very first images here. Cococucumber resumes his universe here by placing us in the shoes of Jack, ready to explore other very dangerous and different dimensions, with unexpected allies along the way. The game will feature turn-based combat with cards to use to trigger powerful combos. PC and Xbox Series versions are expected for the title, which will be available next year.
Vampire Crawler
Barely recovered from the announcement of a Warhammer Survivorshere we are now faced with the announcement of another spin-off for the poncle game, and very different from what we have the right to expect. Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors (that’s its full name) is a card game with rogue-lite elements in which you can explore dungeons equipped with your best deck. Here you can create combos with your cards, with a very fast pace of play, even if it remains turn-based. The title will be available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, Switch and mobiles next year.
007 First Light
- Release date : March 26, 2026
Maybe it wasn’t worth announcing the game’s presence if it was just to show that. 007: First Light was there, but only to highlight James Bond’s car, the Aston Martin Valhalla, without revealing too much gameplay. We could have done without it.
Roadside Research
- Release date : early 2026
One of the craziest games of the evening was Roadside Research, which shows us undercover aliens working in a gas station. Finally, undercover, it’s easy to say, since they are not that incognito and the cooperative game will rely on this absurd aspect to create crazy situations. Again, the game will be available in Xbox Game Pass.
Total Chaos
- Release date : Available now
We thought that if a survival horror were to be released today on Xbox (and on Game Pass), it would be Silent Hill 2 Remakebut no, it’s finally Total Chaos who today invites you to discover his disturbing world. The game from the creators of Turbo Overkill is shown one last time on video, emphasizing the crafting side of the weapons that you will have to tinker with with local resources to face the many demonic creatures that await you.
Reanimal
- Release date : February 13, 2026
If Little Nightmares III wasn’t satisfactory enough for you, it’s probably because Tarsiers Studio wasn’t in charge. He was too busy developing the spiritual continuation of his saga with Reanimala title which takes up the main lines of the license Little Nightmarespushing the limits of anxiety and cooperation a little further. The game has finally made its reappearance to confirm its release date, set for an already too busy month of February, as well as the immediate release of a demo.
Erosion
- Release date : spring 2026
One of the most interesting games of the showcase was Erosionanother game with a voxel aesthetic, which asks us to chase time, since each death will make us jump a decade forward. The world around us will therefore change between each run in this isometric action game, and you will have to hurry while taking care not to perish if you want to find your family before they die of old age.
Zoopunk
After FIST: Forged in Shadow Torchthe TiGames studio returns with Zoopunk (already announced with a video emphasizing the use of generative AI), a new, much more ambitious action-RPG presenting an adventure that takes place before the first game, in the same universe. Despite this basic context which may offer a little familiarity, the game promises to be very different, this time with 3D environments and action to stage more lively fights. Apart from the rabbit Rayton, we also see that two other characters will be playable, with Trixie, a rodent as fast as anything, and Braton the rhino, who is more in the way of brute force.
CloverPit
- Release date : Available now
The slot machine-based rogue-lite has already won over quite a few people, but here it is now ready to seduce a whole new audience with its arrival on Xbox Series, and naturally in Xbox Game Pass, to make even more people happy. We will also note the upcoming release of DLC.
Hitman X Eminem
- Release date : December 1, 2025
Surprisingly, at IO Interactive, the most captivating part of the showcase was the one devoted to Hitman: World of Assassination. Always looking for the most improbable collaborations, the studio asked Eminem to be the next temporary target of our assassin, or rather his alter-ego Slim Shady, who will have to be put down.
Tides of Annihilation
- Release date : Unknown
The presence of the action game had been confirmed during the announcement of this showcase, so it was no surprise that we saw Jennifer English, who gives her voice to the protagonist, served as narrator for this Xbox Partner Showcase, in particular to present to us the gameplay of this title which takes the Arthurian legends in her own style. Here we were able to watch an extract where Gwendolyn fights against the witch Tyranoe, but not alone, since she will be able to summon some spirits to help her in her fight, like Lamarok who comes here to give her a helping hand.
Raji Kaliyuga
- Release date : Unknown
As a conclusion, Nodding Heads Games came to present an unexpected sequel, that of Raji: An Ancient Epic. Raji: Kaliyuga is part of the same universe (and its folklore around Indian culture) and allows us to find Raji, accompanied by her younger brother Darsh who will here be the second protagonist of the story. The second episode will change perspective, since we are here facing an action game in third person view, without the isometric camera of the first opus. The game will arrive in Game Pass upon its release, which is still a long way off.
This is enough to end this Xbox Partner Showcase, with certainly games which tend to lean too much towards the gray-brown palette apart from a few more colorful exceptions, but the show remained pleasant to follow with a few announcements which will attract attention.
