You mean like a Battle for Middle-Earth III? Yeah, I'd be down for that. But EA don't have the license anymore for that, I think.

This is from Vermintide dev, it's a great game. Give it a try if you can.
All games look quite unique and cool, I am surprised Flight Simulator didn't make the list since it's something very unique and pushes cloud technology in an interesting direction.

Some great looking games coming to Xbox/Gamepass in 2021!
Here's a couple more than personally I'm really looking forward to:
12 Minutes
Been excited about this one since I saw a preview on Giant Bomb. Looking it up, I can see that was in 2015! The game takes place in a top down view of an apartment. 'Events' unfold, leading to the cops coming to arrest you. You have to replay the situation, taking what you've learned and trying to improve the outcome. The Microsoft money has clearly had an impact on the game, as it now has voice acting from Daisy Ridley, Willem Dafoe and James McAvoy. No release date set, but originally it was pegged for 2020, so it seems imminent. Confirmed for Game Pass.
Backbone
This is a pixel art, noir detective-style game. You play a private investigator (who happens to be a racoon in a trench coat), and the game starts with you investigating a client's husband. However, it soon becomes clear that there is something more sinister at play than a simple affair. The game is a mix of point and click adventure game and stealth. It also has a touch of Deus Ex in there too, as in the short Steam demo, it's possible to infiltrate a building in more than one way, based on who you talk to, the items you find. It looks like a really awesome concept, and the art is incredible. Another one that has been confirmed for Game Pass.

No, they don't. That's why that unfortunately both BFME 1 and 2 aren't available to be purchased digitally.

12 Minutes is the only game I would enjoy. Xbox always has that random game a year I get bummed about. Like cuphead. Which I bought on PC on launch but never played it. Then bought on PS4 on launch, but didnt play play till PS5 released. Now im just the Dice King boss on expert away from Platinum. My parrying on the final act turns to shit after flying through the rest.

Didnt find a thread, so here it goes(even though I am 20 days late). Coming this holiday to Xbox Series X and Windows.

I'm quite looking forward to Stalker 2 and Halo Infinite, but as far as I know, neither developer is really proven at this point. This year feels like a gamble that could pay off big or sink Xbox in it's first year.
