While Pok\u00e9mon may never come to an Xbox platform, the new game from Pok\u00e9mon developer Game Freak is arriving on Xbox Game Pass as a day-one release. Beast of Reincarnation<\/em> is now out and headlines a wave of new titles hitting Xbox Game Pass in August.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Beast of Reincarnation<\/em> is an action RPG where you play as a young woman and her dog companion traversing a post-apocalyptic futuristic Japan. Hostile robot-like golems and corrupted creatures roam the land. Together, Emma and Koo will parry their way through battles against lumbering giant monsters as they venture to save the world.<\/p>\n

The game’s critical reception has been decidedly mixed so far, with Polygon’s Giovanni Colantonio saying in his review, “Beast of Reincarnation<\/em> does kick with its breathtaking action, powered by rich RPG systems you\u2019d expect from the studio that once revolutionized the genre, but its identity is buried under unrefined ideas borrowed from some of the decade\u2019s best games.”<\/p>\n

Beast of Reincarnation<\/em> isn’t the only title hitting Game Pass this month. On Tuesday, Xbox revealed the full lineup of games coming to the subscription service in the first half of August, which also includes open beta access for the upcoming Gears of War: E-Day<\/em>. Here’s everything you can expect to play in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
