‘Stranger Things 3: The Game’ and ‘The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics’ Join Xbox Game Pass Today
There’s something of a Netflix special on Xbox Game Pass today, as two games based on Netflix Original Series joined the service.
Stranger Things 3: The Game, which was released to coincide with the third season of the hit show, is a retrotastic adventure game where you can play as several of the more prominent characters from Hawkins. The game had previously been on Game Pass PC, but this is the first time it will be available on Xbox consoles.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is not only a mouthful of a title, it’s a turn-based strategy game set in the world of the beloved Dark Crystal film and the recent Netflix show.
I expect this is merely the opening salvo of Game Pass titles that fit in nicely with Spooky Season. I’d say these are two games that will benefit from being on the service. It’s a little bit amusing to have games based on titles from Netflix show up on what often gets called ‘the Netflix of Games’ thanks to its monthly subscription package of 100 or so titles.
You’ll be able to play both titles via Game Pass from today on PC and Xbox devices.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
