Showing off fresh titles like “Dispatch,” “Artificial Detective” and “Moosa: Dirty Fate,” Xbox lays out its path for the year in gaming.
(Xbox)
Continuing their direct communication to fans and gamers, Xbox’s Partner Preview introduced (or, in some cases, reintroduced) a slate of games that would be arriving on the console and PC over the next few months, many of which are included free with Xbox Game Pass. Curating the best of what’s next, check out the latest trailers for the highlights of the Xbox Partner Preview Spring Showcase.
Artificial Detective
Artificial Detective debuted as a stylish post-apocalyptic adventure following a wisecracking robot sleuth investigating humanity’s disappearance alongside the last surviving human child in an explosive third-person mystery. The game is set to launch in 2027.
Dispatch
Dispatch brings its episodic superhero story to Xbox, casting you as former hero Robert Robertson III, the former Mecha Man (and voiced by Aaron Paul) now sidelined into a dispatcher role managing a team of reformed villains turned heroes. Blending narrative-driven gameplay with comedy and office politics, the full season launches this summer.
Hades 2
The critically acclaimed roguelike returns to Xbox with Hades II, casting you as the immortal Princess of the Underworld on a relentless journey to defeat the Titan of Time with the power of Olympus at your side. Expanding on the original with new locations, challenges, and evolving systems, it launches April 14.
Alien Deathstorm
From Rebellion (the studio behind Sniper Elite) comes Alien Deathstorm, an atmospheric first-person adventure set on a storm-ravaged off-world colony, where survival depends on reacting to a relentless, ever-changing alien threat. Coming to Xbox Series X, PC, and Cloud as an Xbox Play Anywhere title on Game Pass, the reveal also offered an early look at its brutal setting and deeper story details.
Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish
Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish made its world premiere as an atmospheric first-person action game set in the World of Darkness, following a team of hunters tracking a deadly vampire hiding in law enforcement. It’s currently slated to launch in Summer 2027.
Moosa: Dirty Fate
Moosa: Dirty Fate made its world premiere as a stylish action title set in Feudal Korea, where a mysterious force is devastating the land and pushing its people to the brink of survival. Blending painterly Korean-inspired landscapes with slick third-person combat, it was one of the most impressive new IPs of the showcase and it’s set to arrive in 2027.
Serious Sam: Shatterverse
Serious Sam: Shatterverse brings the iconic shooter back with a multiverse twist, as five alternate-universe Sams team up—each with unique abilities—to battle Mental and his relentless hordes. Armed with an over-the-top arsenal and signature chaos, it’s set to deliver classic Serious Sam mayhem when it launches later this year.
Stranger Than Heaven
Stranger Than Heaven, the next new title from RGG Studio, spans five distinct time periods and cities, as revealed in its latest trailer. A deeper dive arrives May 6 with “Xbox Presents: A Special Look at Stranger Than Heaven,” showcasing more of its setting, story, and characters. In the meantime, the reveal trailer should help tide fans over.
Super Meat Boy 3D
Super Meat Boy 3D brings the beloved, brutally precise platformer into a whole new dimension, challenging players with punishing obstacles, razor-sharp jumps, and increasingly savage levels packed with secrets. Surprising everyone with immediate availability, Super Meat Boy 3D is available now and is free to play with an Xbox Game Pass subscription.
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn
The upcoming third-person action-RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, set in James S.A. Corey’s literary universe, is targeting a Spring 2027 release with a beta dropping April 22, 2026. Players will create their own Captain, build a crew, and navigate a solar system torn apart by conflict between Mars and the Belt.
