Four surprises have just landed in Game Pass

The Xbox Game Pass program for September is not limited to two waves. Thus, after the first one that started at the beginning of the month and the three games added shortly after mid-September, the Redmond company adds four surprises to its subscription program as part of the Tokyo Game Show 2024. Among these, we note the presence of Legend of Mana and Trials of Mana, two famous A-RPGs from Square Enix that are also coming to Xbox Series X|S.

All You Need is Help

Just released, All You Need is Help lands in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, allowing it to be enjoyed on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC (via the PC Game Pass), and Cloud. This independent game by Q-Games takes the form of a cooperative puzzle. Players embody fluffy animals with geometric shapes, each having a unique shape and its own characteristics. However, they have one thing in common, none can turn despite their freedom of movement. It is therefore essential that the four people in the game cooperate to solve the proposed puzzles. This applies both online and locally. Of course, the title being designed for multiplayer, it does not have a solo mode.

Legend of Mana

A true legend, without bad pun, of the first PlayStation, Legend of Mana is an A-RPG by Square that was released in 1999. In 2021, this installment of the Mana series got a facelift with a remaster released on PC, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. It's an opportunity to (re)experience the adventure taking place in the world of Fa’Diel while enjoying revised visuals to suit our high-definition televisions. The developers also remastered the soundtrack and added some new features (possibility to disable random battles, new mini-game). In short, after more than three years of waiting, it's the turn of players on Xbox Series X|S to taste it, with the possibility of playing it directly via the Game Pass, at least for those with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. PC players can also get in on the action thanks to the PC Game Pass.

Trials of Mana

Before Legend of Mana, there was Trials of Mana, the sequel to Secret of Mana. It is still an A-RPG from Square. However, this one was released in 1995 on Super Famicom in Japan. It wasn't until 2019 that it was discovered in the West thanks to a port on Nintendo Switch... At least before Square Enix decided to offer a true remake released in 2020 on the Nintendo console, but also on PC and PlayStation 4. The Xbox was then sidelined, but this setback is now forgotten as Trials of Mana has just landed on Xbox Series X|S. Better yet, it is directly added to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, allowing subscribers to this plan to play it now at no additional cost. PC users can also enjoy it via the PC Game Pass.

We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie

Available for a little over a year, We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie takes the original 2005 work and remasters it to reach an ever-wider audience. As usual, you need to keep growing your Katamari by rolling up all the objects you find on the screen. But that's not all, as the developers have added, among other things, a new narrative arc, the past adding new levels, and the Eternal mode of Katamari Damacy. A little bonus, the game is playable by two locally, either by cooperating by controlling the same Katamari or by competing in split-screen. The game is available in the PC Game Pass, the Game Pass Ultimate, and also in the Standard subscription. So you have no more reason not to play it, whether on PC, Cloud, Xbox One, or Xbox Series X|S.
