“It’s time to start running!”
Richard Dawson’s fantastic performance as Killian in The Running Man doesn’t have anything to do with today Xbox Games Store update. However, all three games now available for the Xbox One feature running at their center.
Ubisoft’s newest side-scroller in the Assassin’s Creed universe, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China, involves a lot of running… as well as a lot of jumping, hiding, and stabbing. So, so much stabbing. Shao Jun leaps from the animated Assassin’s Creed: Embers short film into her first video game as she attempts to wreak vengeance on the Emperor of China.
More running can be found in Aaru’s Awakening, a “hand-drawn, 2D action platformer,” and Infinity Runner, a first-person parkour game set aboard a spaceship.
The Xbox 360 section of the Xbox Games Store also received an update today in the form of Shooting Love 200X, which is a collection of four shoot ’em ups.
More information on all of these games can be found after the break.
