Upcoming Xbox Game Pass Game is Like Pokemon, But With a Big Twist
06.03.2024 - 20:49 / gamerant.com / Xbox Game Pass / Gabriel Machado Pureza
The newly announced Creatures of Ava has strong Pokemon vibes, but it puts gamers in the shoes of monster saviors instead of monster trainers. By mixing a non-violent approach with aesthetics that resemble Pokemon, Creatures of Ava is an exciting new game.
Creatures of Ava is being developed by Inverge Studios and was announced during the Xbox Partner Preview event. The event was focused on third-party Xbox games and brought more information about titles that will be available for the platform soon, such as Tales of Zenzera: Zau, Frostpunk 2, and The Sinking City 2.
The upcoming Creatures of Ava has been described by its creators as a “creature saver” game. Instead of trying to capture as many creatures as possible, players will take the role of Vic, a human explorer who was sent to a planet called Ava to save the local fauna from a lethal, widespread infection. The title stands out due to its completely non-violent approach, as Vic uses her flute to communicate with these creatures, gain their trust, and then heal them using a mystical staff called Nafitar. However, this does not mean that the game will be devoid of any action, as some creatures will act violently and the players will have to dodge their attacks as they try to find ways to get rid of the infection. Apart from healing creatures, Vic will also investigate the source of the infection.
Overall, Creatures of Ava seems like a good pick for people looking for games like Pokemon, but with a non-violent approach. Creatures of Ava will be available for Xbox Series X/S and PC later in 2024, also being available on Game Pass.
It’s not surprising to see Xbox adding more Pokemon-inspired games to its catalog. Earlier this year, Palworld was released on day one on Xbox Game Pass, and it became a huge hit, despite still being in early access. Palworld reached over 10 million players on Xbox, most likely due to Game Pass, so it’s only natural that Xbox will try to bring more similar monster-related games to the service.
Xbox gamers who love Pokemon can also play Cassette Beasts, which is available on Game Pass. Released for Xbox last year, Cassette Beasts is inspired by classic Pokemon games and has 120 monsters, which can be fused into over 14,000 creatures.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the highest tier of Microsoft's flagship game subscription service that offers over 100 game titles that you can play with a single purchase, making it one of the most outstanding value propositions of the Xbox ecosystem to date.
