ID@Xbox Winter Game Fest Demo Event kicks off on December 7
To celebrate the forthcoming Game Awards, ID@Xbox will have a slew of game demos available to play.
Announced today, the event will include over 35 games to play on the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Starting on December 7, gamers will be able to play demos for titles such as Loot River, Death Trash, Blacktail, The Tale of Bistun, and Nobody Saves the World. More games will be revealed leading up to the event. Unlike normal demos, these demos will offer an early look at the game rather than a nearly completed product.
The event will last until December 21. Some of these demos will be exclusive to this special event while others can show up on the Demo channel at a later date. Detailed information on the first five announced games can be seen below.
Loot River: Set in a series of procedurally generated labyrinths, Loot River is a dungeon crawling, action roguelike that combines the tense, real-time combat, and dark fantasy stylings of Dark Souls with the spatial block-shifting puzzles of Tetris.
Death Trash: Featuring a post-apocalyptic world where cosmic horrors long for humanity but are meet by punks with shotguns. It combines old-school role-playing, modern action gameplay, and player freedom. Create your own character and explore this unique handcrafted world.
Blacktail: A retelling of Baba Yaga’s origin story set in surreal, grim Slavic folklore. A one-of-a-kind blend of exploration and intense archery combat with dark storytelling. Become a fearsome guardian of the forest or the terror nightmares are based on.
The Tale of Bistun: A story-driven action-adventure game inspired by the 12th Century tragic poem “Khosrow and Shirin.” You play as a stone carver who wakes on Mount Bistun with no memory of anything before that moment. An insidious blight has spread, bringing forth many dangerous foes. You must battle through mythical enemies and travel between the real world and an ethereal place of forgotten memories to discover the secret of your past.
Nobody Saves the World: Complete quests to discover and swap between more than 15 varied and distinct forms. Mix and match abilities to unlock and complete even more challenging quests while exploring a vast overworld and its extensive dungeons, either solo or with a friend online, to stop The Calamity and save the world!
