This week’s episode of This Week On Xbox for the week commencing November 16th, 2018 brings those interested a complete recap of what was announced during Microsoft’s Xbox X018 conference earlier this month. Together with an interview with Ted Price about the launch of Sunset Overdrive on Windows 10, and more, check out this week’s episode embedded below.
Sunset Overdrive: A Unique Adventure
Sunset Overdrive launched on the Xbox One and Windows 10 systems on October 28th and November 16th respectively, providing a third-person action-adventure with both single-player and multiplayer modes. “Players navigate a metropolis called Sunset City in the year 2027. This dystopian world has been overrun by mutants called the OD, short for Overcharge Drinkers. The player character is a former FizzCo employee, tasked with cleaning up the mess left behind from a party FizzCo had thrown to celebrate the launch of its new energy drink, Overcharge Delirium XT.” Sunset Overdrive has been developed by Insomniac Games and published by Microsoft Studios.
The game is known for its vibrant, cartoonish art style and fast-paced gameplay, which includes parkour-like movement and a variety of creative weapons. Players can grind on rails, bounce off cars, and wall-run to navigate the city quickly and stylishly. The game’s humor and irreverent tone set it apart from other action-adventure games, making it a unique experience for players.
Key Announcements from Xbox X018
The Xbox X018 conference, held earlier in November, was packed with exciting announcements and updates for Xbox fans. One of the major highlights was the reveal of new titles coming to Xbox Game Pass, including popular games like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. The addition of these games to the subscription service was a significant move, offering players more value and a wider selection of games to enjoy.
Another notable announcement was the expansion of the Xbox Adaptive Controller’s compatibility. This innovative controller, designed to make gaming more accessible for players with disabilities, will now support a broader range of devices and platforms. This move underscores Microsoft’s commitment to inclusivity in gaming.
The conference also featured updates on upcoming titles such as Crackdown 3, which promises to deliver explosive action and a fully destructible environment. Fans were treated to new gameplay footage and insights into the game’s development, building anticipation for its release.
