Everything Announced During Today’s ID@Xbox Event

ID@Xbox focuses on indies and other titles. If you missed today’s event or are looking for a recap of everything highlighted during it, we have you covered. Here’s everything announced during today’s ID@Xbox event. 

Inmortality

Sam Barlow is the author of Her Story’s new interactive film trilogy Immortality. Find out the truth about Marissa Marcel. To do that, you’ll be exploring footage from her lost movies. Immortality is coming to Xbox Series X/S in the summer. You can also get it on Xbox Game Pass launch day. 

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, by Kepler Interactive and Aurora A4. It’s a new open-world, action RPG. Described as an RPG where guns and gods collide, you’ll join Nor and her mysterious companion, Enki, on “an epic journey of vengeance, gunpowder, and magic in humanity’s last stand.” This game, which is developed by the same team behind Ashen, drops on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One sometime this year. Flintlock is a day one Xbox Game Pass title. 

You are cursed to golf

Cursed to Golf, is a game all about golf. Except instead of beautiful courses filled with luscious greens and natural water features, you’ll be up against “insane hazards, otherworldly power-ups,” and more. It seems like an amazing time, no matter how cursed. Cursed to Golf was developed by Chuhai Labs, and is published by Thunderful Games along with Xbox. The game will be available on PC in the near future, but no release date has been announced. 

Escape Academy

Escape Academy is iam8bit’s first published game and it comes by way of Coin Crew and Skybound Games. Described as a school where promising students train to become the ultimate Esacpe Room Master, you’ll be tasked with playing through more than a dozen “masterfully hand-crafted rooms, designed by experienced experts in the field of real life escape rooms.” 

While Escape Academy can be completed by you, it can also be played with another person via co-op. Escape Academy launches for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One sometime in 2022. 

Whalefall

Whitehorn Games’ Whalefall is a “combination SRPG/JRPG set in a high fantasy world inspired by ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ the Suikoden series, and the Final Fantasy games.” Set on the continent of Osfeld, which is divided among territorial lines and shadowed by enormous sky whales, economic and political powers on Osfeld shift every hundred years or so when a sky whale falls to the ground below. 

“The economic, technological, and military boons from the whales’ bodies are considerable, and so is the conflict over their remains,” a press release reads. “Players will command the armies of Riverwatch to bring an end to a sinister plot to shoot down the legendary creatures and throw the world into chaos.” 

The Whalefall game will soon be available on Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. A release date was not disclosed. 

Wrestle Quest

Developed by Mega Cat Studios and Skybound Games, Wrestle Quest mashes pro wrestling and fantasy RPG gameplay together “in the ultimate pixel powered adventure.” Featuring wrestling icons like “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, and more, you’ll need to fight against other legends in the ring and beyond it to save the world. Wrestle Quest will be available on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One sometime in the future, but a release window was not revealed during today’s showcase.
