It’s Wednesday, so welcome to another Xbox Games Store update.
For their midweek update, Microsoft has added ReCore: Definitive Edition to the Xbox Games Store as an Xbox Play Anywhere title. Fans will be able to download the expanded re-release and receive a copy of the game for the PC and Xbox One. ReCore’s Definitive Edition will include revamped graphics, as well as a new Corebot (“The Tank”), a new adventure (“Eye of Obsidian”), and new areas to explore.
Also available to download today is Killing Floor 2, a multiplayer shooter from Tripwire Interactive. Players will fight back against the monsters while also preventing the outbreak from spreading further. And speaking of outbreaks, Capcom re-released Resident Evil Revelations for the Xbox One earlier this week. Taking place between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, players will guide Jill Valentine through a zombie-infested cruise ship.
In other re-release news, the Xbox One is now home to Obsidian’s isometric RPG, Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition, and 34BigThings’s futuristic racer, Redout.
You can learn more about all of these games (and a few other new releases) after the break.
