They’ll then use these units, each with their own abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, to wage battles of unique makeup. Not only willInkulinatihave its own single-player campaign, where players take on figures including Death andDante Alighieriin battle, but there will also be local PvP multiplayer.

The only downside of today’s announcement thatInkulinatiis going to be released on Xbox Game Pass is that the game currently doesn’t have a release window.Inkulinatidoes have 2022 listed on its Steam profile, but it’s unclear if that remains accurate. One of the latest trailers forInkulinatilists the release window as “This Century,” for example. In positive news, the latest production update forInkulinatisays that the game is about ready to go gold. Perhaps 2022 is still in the cards.

WhileInkulinatimay not be arriving in August, there’s already a solid line-up of games planned for Xbox Game Pass this month.Ghost Recon: Wildlands,Shenzhen I/O,Turbo Golf Racing, andTwo Point Campushave already launched on the service.Cooking Simulatorand several PC-only additions remain through the rest of August.
