Play these 3 fresh Game Pass titles over the weekend from July 4th to 6th
**New Games Added to Xbox Game Pass: Legend of Mana, Trials of Mana, and Ultimate Chicken Horse**
For those looking for some fresh gaming options during the extended July 4th weekend, several new titles have been added to Xbox Game Pass that are worth exploring. Among the top picks are Legend of Mana, Trials of Mana, and Ultimate Chicken Horse.
**Legend of Mana** is a remastered classic RPG that became available on July 2. This game offers a deep and engaging storyline, along with a unique real-time combat system where special moves can be unleashed by building up a meter over time. For those unfamiliar with the Mana series, this could be a great starting point to delve into this lesser-known but high-quality series.
**Trials of Mana**, another classic RPG, was also released on July 2. Known for its action-packed gameplay and rich narrative, this game is sure to provide an immersive experience for fans of the Mana series.
**Ultimate Chicken Horse**, added on July 3, is a fun, chaotic platformer perfect for parties or casual play with friends. The game's competitive nature involves placing platforms, obstacles, and hazards to hinder opponents while still reaching the end. Despite its simplicity, it is accessible to anyone without feeling overwhelming or at a disadvantage.
The Mana games, including Legend of Mana, are often overlooked compared to bigger JRPGs like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. However, they are just as high-quality, offering unique gameplay experiences such as the Land Make system in Legend of Mana, which allows players to build out the world map as they progress, shaping their own adventure.
**Little Nightmares 2**, a horror game available now, does not require prior knowledge of the first game to understand the story. This 2.5D puzzle platformer with light combat and stealth elements is a rare genre blend that is incredibly effective. It presents a dark world filled with distorted giants and surreal landscapes, and is expected to be completed within a weekend once started. Little Nightmares 2 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, in addition to previously mentioned platforms.
In conclusion, these games provide a mix of classic RPGs and fun multiplayer experiences, making them great choices for the long weekend. Whether you're a fan of RPGs, platformers, or horror games, there's something for everyone in this lineup. Happy gaming!
Enjoy a diverse range of entertainment options this extended July 4th weekend with the addition of these new games to Xbox Game Pass. Legend of Mana, Trials of Mana, and Ultimate Chicken Horse offer unique gameplay experiences, providing hours of immersive entertainment for all ages.
