Summary
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddessis coming toXbox Game Passin 2024, Capcom has confirmed. The “action strategy” game inspired by Japanese mythology is yet another addition to the long list of titles that will have day-oneXbox Game Passdebuts this year.
Capcom originally announcedKunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddessin June 2023, debuting its reveal trailer as part of Microsoft’s late-spring Xbox Games Showcase. The stylish title was immediately confirmed as a day-one Xbox Game Pass release. However, its 2023 unveiling offered nothing in the way of availability details, with Capcom merely stating that the project is in development.
New Kunitsu-Gami Trailer Narrows Down Its Xbox Game Pass Release Window
And whileKunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddessis still without an official release date, Capcom has now narrowed down its launch window to 2024. It did so during theMarch 6 Xbox Partner Preview event, which also saw it share a new gameplay trailer titled “Kagura,” after a type of ceremonial dance practiced in Japan by the followers of the Shinto religion. Literally translated as “god entertainment,” this traditional dance is a major influence onKunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, which Capcom is describing as a “single-player Kagura action strategy” experience.
When Will Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Release on Xbox Game Pass?
Capcom’s Japanese folklore-inspired title wasn’t the only day-one game for Microsoft’s subscription service that was mentioned during the early March Xbox Partner Preview broadcast. The event also saw award-winning Polish developer 11 Bit Studios announce that itssci-fi survival gameThe Alterswill launch on Xbox Game Passon the same day it reaches its other target platforms. Much likeKunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess,The Altersis targeting a 2024 market debut but is still waiting for a concrete release date.
Given that state of affairs, it’s plausible that both games will launch near the end of the year; anything sooner than a Q4 target would ostensibly require the projects to already be verging on completion, but that’s seemingly not the case if their publishers still aren’t ready to commit to more specific release windows as of March. Another day-oneXbox Game Pass title that’s in a similar boat isAge of Mythology: Retold, a remastered version of Ensemble Studios' cult-classic 2002 RTS.
Looking at the immediate future, Xbox Game Pass members will get to enjoy three more day-one releases in the second half of March. Another trio of such titles has been confirmed for April:Botany Manor,Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, andManor Lords.
