Right now, you can get an early taste on Steam, but come April 29th, it’s gonna hit Xbox consoles via Game Preview! And don’t forget, if you’re subscribed to Xbox Game Pass, it’ll be there waiting for you too! Can’t wait to see ya in the Towerborne world!

Towerborne announces April 29th release date for Xbox consoles via Game Preview

In the game called Towerborne, players can personalize their character, known as Ace, by choosing from numerous options for appearances, clothing, weapons, and other items. Up to a maximum of four players can embark on an adventure from the Belfry to battle enemies and collect loot. The console version, scheduled for release at the end of April, will introduce couch co-op play for this game, allowing for local multiplayer experience. This was announced by Klobrille, who provided details about the features included in the console update. Players who have been playing since the Steam launch in September will be pleased to know that they can continue playing with their console friends, thanks to crossplay functionality.

Towerborne boasts a lively, vivid atmosphere, even though it’s based on dark fantasy themes. The combat is a unique blend of 3D and 2D elements, with all players appearing simultaneously on the screen in a beat ’em up-style gameplay, eliminating the need for splitscreen when playing cooperatively locally. In addition to new enemies, loot, and skills that will be introduced upon console launch, updates are expected to encompass enhancements in gameplay, multiplayer interactions, and the entire world map as well.

On Steam, the game “Towerborne” currently boasts a Mostly Positive rating with 77% positive reviews out of approximately 600. Although this isn’t an exceptional score, it suggests that with these updates and enhancements, Towerborne could potentially gain traction on consoles for a second life. The fact that “Towerborne” is accessible through Xbox Game Pass might significantly boost its popularity compared to the $20 price point on Steam. It’s important to mention that once Towerborne exits Early Access and Game Preview, it’s anticipated to become free-to-play.

You might be curious about what Game Preview refers to. In essence, it’s like Early Access on Steam, but for Xbox consoles. Palworld is one of the games currently utilizing this feature. This means that Towerborne, though not yet fully completed, is using Game Preview as a way to generate income and gather player feedback to finish and enhance the game. If you prefer to wait for the complete launch at some point in the future, that’s your choice. However, please note that Towerborne has not disclosed a release date for the full version yet, so you’ll need to be patient.
