Vampyr, Onrush, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, more coming to Xbox Store this week

Monster, motorsports, and a new expansion for Bethesda’s MMO highlight this week’s Xbox Games Store update…

Focus Home Interactive and Dontnod will bring Vampyr to the Xbox One this week. The moody action RPG takes place in Victorian London and tasks players with curing the influenza epidemic before they succumb to their vampiric urges. Also available to download for the Xbox One this week is Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, a retro-styled prequel to the upcoming Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night from Koji “IGA” Igarashi and developer Inti Creates.

If you’d rather drive like a speed demon, two new racing games will launch for the Xbox One this week. And in the case of Codemasters’s Onrush, I do mean LAUNCH, as racers will regularly drive off cliffs in the unique racing title. Also available this week is MotoGP 18, the latest motorcycle racing sim from Milestone and Square Enix.

Finally this week, Bethesda will expand The Elder Scrolls Online once again with the new Summerset expansion. Players will save the world (naturally) by unraveling “a dark conspiracy that threatens the world’s existence.”

You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Xbox Games Store (including Aragami: Shadow Edition and Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr) after the break.
