Wolfenstein 2, Wargroove headed to Xbox Game Pass in May Tacoma! Surviving Mars! Lego Batman 3! More. News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 30 Apr 2019 27 comments Microsoft is readying a solid May schedule for Xbox Game Pass, with subscribers set to gain access to Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, Tacoma, Lego Batman 3, For the King, Surviving Mars and more. First up, on 2nd May, is Wolfenstein 2. Bethesda's Nazi -shooting sequel is undoubtedly the star of next month's offerings. "Vicious, affecting, witty, spaced-out, crude, inventive, morbid and for the most part, a success," said Edwin Evans-Thirlwell's Wolfenstein 2 review. "The New Colossus is a game that straddles moods and periods, buffoonery and biting insight, cartoon villainy and insidious real-world malevolence." Wargroove will also join Xbox Games Pass on 2nd May. If you're a fan of Intelligent Systems' work then you're in for a treat with Chucklefish's turn-based tactics game - you're in for a treat. In his Wargroove review, Chris Donlan labelled it a "forensic recreation of some all-time classics", referring of course to the game's obvious inspirations: Advance Wars and Fire Emblem. 9th May brings Tacoma, the solid sci-fi follow-up to Gone Home from Fullbright, and Black Desert, the fantasy MMORPG which still currently comes with a £7.99 price tag. For the King, a new roguelike RPG, officially launches on 10th May - although Xbox Game Pass members get it first three days early, on 7th May. It's been available on PC a while, and sounded decent last year in Eurogamer's For the King review. "It's a beautiful turn-based RPG whose brutality can sometimes get the better of it," Vikki Blake wrote. Last but not least for May - that we know of so far - will come sci-fi mechsuit action RPG The Surge and Lego Batman 3. Both are available from 16th May. If this offering sounds interesting, an Xbox Game Pass subscription costs £7.99 a month and provides unlimited access to a library of over 200 titles, ranging from intriguing indies to Microsoft first-party offerings, including Crackdown 3, Forza Horizon 4, and Sea of Thieves.
