The most exciting parts of any gaming showcase are the new game reveals, and today's Xbox Partner Preview gave us exactly that with Moosa: Dirty Fate. Set in Feudal Korea, the game showcases intense third-person combat set against a bleak backdrop. Check out the reveal trailer below.

When a crop-killing famine spreads across Korea, its people are driven to cannibalism, while bandits raid and burn villages in the chaos. You play as the hero tasked with freeing the land, and given that the trailer's narrator refers to you as "your majesty," it sounds like you're also a ruler of some kind.

The trailer shows off fast-paced, bloody combat, complete with terrifying monsters, crowds of foes, and and lots of parrying. According to the trailer's YouTube description, the word "Moosa" refers to a master of martial arts. Based on the skills on display in the trailer, it seems like that refers to the protagonist, and if they play well enough, it ideally refers to the player, too.

Moosa: Dirty Fate is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC in 2027, and will also be available on Game Pass.

The first issue of Star Wars High Republic Adventures — Pathfinders from Dark Horse is now available in comic book stores.

Vaunted is one of the world premieres from today’s Xbox Partner Preview and comes from upstart studio Lost Lake Games. This team consists of former developers behind strategy hits like StarCraft and Guild Wars, and is channeling that expertise into its debut strategy title.

The game takes place in a galaxy ruled by chaos, following the collapse of a galactic empire a millennium ago. Mercenaries and treasure hunters dominate the cosmos and regularly clash over the pursuit of priceless imperial relics. This includes the dysfunctional team treasure hunters Dyse, Gendril, and Kyvaath, who players will control in their quest to find the ultimate treasure.

Vaunted is described as a tactical RPG that blends real-time third-person shooting with turn-based combat; imagine an amalgamation of space westerns and the Valkyria Chronicles series, a combination Lost Lake Games cites and leans into. Vaunted has no initiative-based turn order, so players control when characters perform actions while alternating turns with enemies. In addition to the three main heroes, you control companions, and each unit boasts skill trees, randomized upgrades, unique loadouts, and diverse build options.

Lost Lake Games promises “rich RPG mechanics” and that players will experience fleshed-out motivations for the main protagonists. The team also promises an element of unreliable narration, as the death of one hero will give players a chance to rewrite the current chapter from the skewed perspective of a surviving hero, opening new conversations, loot, and skills. We're especially curious to see the narrative implications of this approach.

The studio is led by James Phinney, formerly of Blizzard and Arena Net. Vaunted is coming later this year to PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store. It will also be available on PC Game Pass. 

Last year, Hades II and Dispatch were among the most critically acclaimed games. Hades II landed at number 2 on Game Informer's list of the best games of 2025, while Dispatch was one of the final titles cut from that top 10 list. However, they also have another thing in common: Neither came to Xbox last year. That is changing very soon, as both Supergiant Games and AdHoc Studio announced their critical and fan-favorite games are coming to Microsoft's gaming platform in the next few months.

In Hades II, you take control of Melinoë as you journey through the underworld to take on Chronos, the Titan of Time. As the follow-up to one of the most acclaimed indie games and roguelites ever, Hades II had a high bar set for it, but it somehow managed to break through those expectations to deliver a genre-leading experience. Dispatch, which is a superhero workplace comedy, signaled a return of sorts for the episodic adventure game style that Telltale Games thrust into the mainstream consciousness. But Dispatch elevates the genre from simply telling compelling stories to matching the storytelling and cast quality to something you might spot on a high-end streaming service, while adding fun gameplay sequences throughout the chapters.

When it released on Switch 2, Switch, and PC on September 25, 2025, Hades II earned an extremely rare 10 out of 10 score from Game Informer, with Game Informer's Charles Harte saying, "Hades II is the pinnacle of the roguelike genre, a position I previously granted its predecessor, but one that its sequel has handily earned." When Dispatch arrived on PS5 and PC on October 22, 2025, freelancer and former Game Informer editor Ben Reeves awarded it a 9 out of 10, saying, "Instead of imitating movies, it borrows liberally from prestige television, showcasing character-driven storytelling, slow-burn drama, and high emotional stakes that tighten with every episode."

Hades II arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, including on Xbox Game Pass, on April 14. Dispatch swoops onto the Xbox ecosystem this summer.
