We’re still in the dark about whether Overthrown will come packed with any achievements when it lands on Game Pass, primarily because it’s first entering the Game Preview program. However, the good news is that Xbox Game Pass is all set to welcome Overthrown in December. For those who enjoy a dash of chaos alongside their city-building ventures, mark your calendars for December 5, when Overthrown makes its debut on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Now, let’s delve into the game’s intriguing premise. Imagine wielding a soul-stealing crown that grants you the ability to manipulate anything within sight, zip through the world at unimaginable speeds, execute thrilling spin attacks, and hurl objects over astonishing distances. Brimstone Interactive, the minds behind Overthrown, have painted the game as a unique blend of city-building chaos and superhero-like antics. Over at Xbox Wire, they describe it as allowing you to live out your anime-style superhero dreams alongside up to five friends.
As you work on constructing and managing your fantasy realm, you’ll also need to fend off threats like bandits and mutants. Thankfully, your crown’s powers are there to lend a helping hand—though there’s a catch. Should the crown be lost or captured, it could fall into enemy hands, presenting you with a formidable foe to conquer and reclaim your treasure. When playing in co-op mode, only one player gets to don the coveted crown, adding a whole new layer of envy as your friends watch you effortlessly levitate buildings and… absorb trees?
It sounds like Overthrown is gearing up to deliver some thoroughly entertaining chaotic co-op experiences, and the wait is almost over. But, if you’re itching to dive into something right now, check out our curated list of the best Game Pass titles to tide you over.
