Raw Fury has outlined a substantial run of Xbox releases, and it’s a good reminder that a publisher doesn’t need one enormous blockbuster to have a genuinely interesting line-up. This one stretches from co-operative dungeon exploration to supernatural detective work, and somehow finds room for a monster-run theme park.
The update, shared through Xbox Wire on 13 October, covers games available now alongside a number of releases planned for the coming months. Here are the ones that caught our attention, and why.
Deep Dish Dungeon is available now
Deep Dish Dungeon arrived on 13 October for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC, including through Game Pass. It’s built around exploration, survival and crafting, with the option to head into its interconnected dungeon alone or with up to two friends.
What makes the pitch stand out is its deliberately limited guidance. Instead of following markers from one objective to the next, players are expected to learn the layout, experiment with resources and share discoveries. That’s a promising idea for anyone who enjoys getting lost in a game, although we’ll reserve judgement until we’ve played it.
A supernatural mystery is coming on 27 October
The Séance of Blake Manor is scheduled to reach Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and Game Pass on 27 October. Set in Ireland in 1897, it follows investigator Declan Ward as he tries to unravel a disappearance before a séance takes place.
Rather than focusing on combat, the game asks players to question guests, piece together evidence and use a mind map to test their deductions. There’s something refreshing about a mystery that appears to be asking you to do the thinking yourself.
Cassette Beasts goes back to the 2000s
Cassette Beasts 2002 is due on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC in March 2027. The follow-up is set in a stylised version of 2000s London, with monster recording, transformations and a system that allows creatures to be combined.
Raw Fury says another showcase is planned for October, so there should be more to learn before the year is out. Until then, the combination system and the new setting are the main things worth keeping an eye on.
Kingdom, cannibals and a few surprises
Kingdom III: Rising Realms is targeting 2027, while Kingdom Two Crowns: Pharaoh Lands is planned for Xbox this December. The first promises new strategic options; the second takes its side-scrolling kingdom defence into an ancient Egypt-inspired setting.
Then there’s My Cannibal Family, a co-operative monster simulator planned for next year. Its premise involves operating a suspiciously dangerous theme park to keep a family of mutants fed. It may not be the first game you’d put on the family Christmas list.
Raw Fury also highlighted games already available, including the puzzle adventure Rivage and Monsters Are Coming!, which has recently received additional content.
Why this line-up is worth watching
There isn’t one obvious genre tying these projects together, and that’s the appeal. Some are small, strange ideas; others build on established games. The common thread is that they seem willing to do something other than chase the same safe formula.
For CS Press, this is exactly the sort of line-up that deserves closer coverage. We’ve got several potential preview and review targets here, but announcement details are not a substitute for playing the games. We’ll judge them on what they actually deliver.
