Three very different fantasy worlds lead the way in this week’s Xbox Games Store update.
Two years after its PS4/PS Vita debut, Square Enix will bring World of Final Fantasy Maxima, an enhanced and updated version of their chibi-styled crossover RPG, to the Xbox One. Players will receive the original game, along with extra heroic Champions and monstrous Mirages, and playable versions of Reynn and Lann.
Also available to download this week is Chasm, a procedurally-generated MetroidVania from Bit Kid. In this side-scroller, players must earn their stripes as a knight, and come to the aid of an endangered village.
Finally this week, 2K Games is heading down to a fantastic fair and players will once again be able to compete in the minigames from Carnival Games.
You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Xbox Games Store after the break.
