The emergence of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls has given rise to a new subgenre of RPG/action-adventure gaming known as Soulslikes. This genre, though still in its early stages, has inspired numerous ambitious projects over the past decade. In 2023 alone, we saw the release of major titles like Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, each making significant waves in the gaming community.
Xbox Game Pass stands out for its diverse offerings, aiming to cater to a broad range of gaming preferences. While it doesn't include FromSoftware's pioneering titles, it does feature some of the best Soulslike games available, providing excellent alternatives to classics like Dark Souls and Bloodborne.
Updated on January 5, 2025, by Mark Sammut: As we step into the new year, the question on everyone's mind is whether Game Pass will see the addition of major Soulslike titles. While it's too early to predict, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is generating buzz and could be a promising addition. In the meantime, Game Pass subscribers have a wealth of Soulslike games to explore.
New Game Pass Soulslike games will be highlighted at the top of the list, ensuring they get the attention they deserve.
Nine Sols is a captivating 2D Metroidvania that draws heavily from the challenging combat mechanics of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This game blends exploration with intense, precision-based combat, offering a unique take on the Soulslike formula within a beautifully crafted 2D world.
