We’re eagerly awaiting news on whether Overthrown will have any achievements up for grabs, but for now, what we do know is that this upcoming title is joining the Game Preview program before entering Xbox Game Pass this December. So, if you’re fired up for some chaotic city-building adventures, mark your calendars for Overthrown’s arrival on December 5th for Xbox Series X|S and PC.
With the release date set, let’s delve into what makes Overthrown stand out. The game hands you a soul-stealing crown, bestowing incredible abilities like moving anything within your sight, zipping across the world at lightning speed, executing daring spin attacks, and hurling objects over impressive distances. According to the developers at Brimstone Interactive, Overthrown is a city-builder that thrives on chaos. Adding a fun twist, they’ve infused it with the flair of an anime character’s superpowers, which you can wield solo or alongside up to five friends.
As we build and steer our ideal kingdom, defending it from bandits and mutants becomes a core challenge. Thankfully, the crown’s powers come to the rescue, easing our struggles. But here’s the kicker: if the crown is lost or snatched by foes, you’ll need to duke it out with this newly empowered enemy to reclaim your prized possession. And remember, in cooperative play, only one player gets to sport the crown. Imagine your friends watching on, green with envy, as you effortlessly yank buildings from the earth and… uproot trees?
Overthrown promises some riotous co-op excitement, and the wait isn’t long now. But if you’re itching for something to play in the meantime, we’ve got you covered—take a peek at our top picks of the best Game Pass games to keep you occupied.
