Who's up for a cheeky pair of Xbox Game Pass announcements, eh?
Amongst all the hoo-ha for Sony's State of Play, we noticed Xbox quietly announced Hela: of Mice & Magic, an upcoming co-op adventure launching day one on Game Pass sometime during Q4 2026.
The slinky second title Mad King Redemption was announced late last night and is set to join this month's lineup hopping aboard Xbox Game Pass on September 23.
So, how about we take a closer look at what was recently announced for Xbox Game Pass:
"At its core, Hela: of Mice & Magic is about playing together. Designed for up to 4-player co-op, every obstacle players overcome and every victory earned becomes a shared experience, bringing friends and family together. Whether exploring alone or alongside others, players take on the role of a small but agile mouse, helping a kind and wary witch care for the land she has protected for generations. Journey through forests, meadows, wetlands, and burrows, using a magical backpack gifted by the witch to explore further, reach higher, and interact with the world in new and sometimes delightfully relaxing ways."
This magical mousey adventure has amassed over 1 million wishlists so far, and looks like a real charmer if I do say so myself. The devs claim Hela has been designed with 4-player co-op in mind and hope to bring friends and family closer together with its wholesome puzzling vibes.
Whilst the release window is a vague Q4, we can assume the game will launch sometime during or after October 2026, so we shouldn't have to wait too long to have a crack at it.
The Kingdom has fallen to the Mad King, who has used forbidden magic to try to resuscitate the queen. But the powers of life and death were too big to handle for him, and as a consequence, the King lost his sanity. Drawing inspiration from beloved classics, we've crafted a beat'em'up experience that combines old-school controls and retro feelings with innovative 3D mechanics. Each of the 4 playable characters comes with their signature combat styles, customizable stats that impact gameplay, and detailed backstories to discover.
