The Xbox One will be getting eight new titles over the course of December. As shown in the image above, the full list is as follows:
- My Friend Pedro
- Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker
- Demon’s Tilt
- Wandersong
- Pro Evolution Soccer 2020
- Overcooked 2
- The Division
- Pathologic 2
The first two titles to arrive are My Friend Pedro and Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, coming today, December 5. The former is a barmy sidescrolling, acrobatic shooter, while the latter is an anime fighter. Then, on December 6, they’ll be joined by Chaotic pinball release Demon’s Tilt and Wandersong, a cheery game about a man who communicates only through his dulcet tones trying to stop the apocalypse.
Finally, the remaining four games arrive on December 12. PES 2020 requires little explanation, and Overcooked 2 continues the frantic co-op kitchen fun of the original game, only with more sushi and the option to throw ingredients. The Division is an online shooter and the precursor to this year’s so-so The Division 2, while Pathologic 2 is a deeply clunky yet utterly fascinating game about horror and despair. If you’re not sure what to make of it, try sitting through Hbomberguy’s lengthy essay on why he loved it so much.
