​

Today's been the day for new Xbox Game Pass reveals over at Microsoft HQ, and although we actually knew about this one prior to today, we wanted to bring your attention to Nine Sols - debuting on Xbox next Tuesday, November 26th.

Nine Sols launched earlier in the year on PC, where it holds an "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating on the Steam platform based on almost 14,000 reviews. The game is described as a Sekiro-inspired action-platformer featuring "meticulous" hand-crafted environments and animations. It's also been compared to Hollow Knight by many players.

And we're serious - people love this game! Here are a just few of the top recent reviews on Steam:

Wolvi on Steam: Wow. Just wow man. After 40 hours of playing and getting 1 of the endings I can safely say this game is a masterpiece from the very beginning all the way to the end. It does a really good job of getting you hooked on the game right off the bat with its story, characters, art style and combat system that I wished more people would take a look into before labeling it as a Hollow Knight clone/rip-off, when they are fundamentally different products that share some similarities."
Iditri on Steam: "This game is a mixture of Hollow Knight and Sekiro but don't be mistaken to think that its a bad copy. The game has its own footings and given their older games, its a great deviation from their former projects. The game has a beautiful soundtrack, beautiful gameplay, beautiful artstyle and whatnot. The game has well written lore about the world."
Little Salty on Steam: "Don't you dare lazily compare this piece of art to other games that have completely different specialties. Nine Sols is a dance; a unique feast of an experience in lore, with intense yet methodical gameplay."

If you're interested in checking it out, Nine Sols will be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming - although keep in mind it won't be part of the "Core" or "Standard" Game Pass libraries for now.

We'll throw some more details about Nine Sols below, and you can check out the trailer as well.
