Smaller releases worth a look
The rest of the week is a mix of indie puzzlers and genre pieces: Kingdom of Night, an isometric action RPG with '80s cosmic horror; Dark Alley, a detective story set in Kyoto in 2012; Beaconfall, a strategy game with 20 to 30 minute sessions on procedural islands; and Dominus Gladiatus, a gladiator school manager. Cat lovers get Kitties on Planets, Cat-Astrophy and Cat on the Jungle Path.
For players in SEA
Football Manager 27 is the release with the widest pull for regional players, and its early access window means management fans can start their save days before full launch. Microsoft notes every date in the list is subject to change, and the roundup does not give unlock times, so check each store page on the day. Game Pass additions arrive automatically for subscribers on the listed dates.
