Redmond, Washington – Microsoft has unveiled the lineup of games set to join the Game Pass in April 2024, bringing exciting additions that promise to delight gamers. Among the highlights are titles such as Orcs Must Die! 3, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, and the highly anticipated Manor Lords.
One of the featured games, Harold Halibut by Slow Bros, was released on April 16 across Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S platforms as a day-one Game Pass launch. IGN’s review of Harold Halibut awarded it an impressive 8/10, describing it as “a wholesome, handcrafted adventure with plenty of heart.”
In the upcoming days, subscribers can look forward to thrilling additions, including Robot Entertainment’s Orcs Must Die! 3 hitting Game Pass on April 17, promising a fun and goofy action/tower-defense challenge. This will be followed by the release of EA Sports NHL 24 on April 18, just in time for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite new gameplay features, the title’s unimproved game modes have left fans yearning for more, as noted in IGN’s review.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes will make its debut on Game Pass on April 23, offering players a vast JRPG experience in a hand-crafted 2.5D world, where they can assemble a team of over a hundred heroes. Another exciting release, Another Crab’s Treasure, will launch on April 25, presenting players with a soulslike adventure set in a mesmerizing underwater realm.
On April 26, gamers can expect the eagerly awaited release of Manor Lords, a medieval strategy game that boasts in-depth city building, large-scale tactical battles, and intricate economic and social simulations. This title has already garnered significant anticipation, becoming the top wishlisted game on Steam.
Rounding out the month is Have A Nice Death by Magic Design Studios, set to join Game Pass on April 30. This punishing but fulfilling roguelike game offers challenging boss fights, though some players may find long-term progression a bit stringent.
In addition to these releases, Microsoft also shared that three games will be added to the Game Pass Core library on April 23, providing subscribers with even more gaming options. As the month comes to a close, six games are set to leave Game Pass on April 30, allowing players to save 20% on their purchase to retain them in their library.
As the gaming community eagerly anticipates these new additions and farewells, Microsoft continues to cater to the diverse interests of its subscription-based gaming service, ensuring a steady stream of engaging content for players worldwide.
