Baby Robot Games has now provided clarity on that front, and it’s not good news for Game Pass subscribers. The developer has confirmed that due to changes in Ereban: Shadow Legacy’s publishing plans, it will no longer be available via Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on the day of its release.

“Unfortunately, due to recent changes in our partnership with Raw Fury as our publisher, the release of Ereban: Shadow Legacy on Xbox and Game Pass on Day One got cancelled,” the developer wrote.

Baby Robot Games also says that it’s working to bring the game to Xbox consoles “as soon as possible”, though a release date has yet to be announced.

Ereban: Shadow Legacy launches for PC on April 10.

Unfortunately, due to recent changes in our partnership with Raw Fury as our publisher, the release of Ereban: Shadow Legacy on Xbox and Game Pass on Day One got cancelled. However, please rest assured that we will do our best to bring Ereban to Xbox as soon as possible.

Announced in June 2022, Ereban focuses on Ayana, a descendant of the titular race. Possessing shadow powers, she embarks on a campaign of revenge against the megacorporation Helios while investigating the location of her people. While possessing exceptional agility and high-tech gadgets, Ayana’s talent is merging with the shadows for increased mobility and stealth.

It’s very much akin to Splatoon, which the developer took inspiration from alongside Aragami, Metal Gear and Assassin’s Creed. However, players must be careful since any light source can reveal their position.

Stay tuned for more details and gameplay en route to its release. Ereban: Shadow Legacy is also in development for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, but the developer announced a delay last month. Though there aren’t any updates, it said it would do its best to bring the game to Xbox “as soon as we can.”

The video also talks more about Shadow Merge, the unique ability that protagonist Ayana can utilize. Taking inspiration from Splatoon, it allows her to blend with shadows and roam about without being detected. While this is great for bounding up walls and other surfaces, you can’t stay submerged in the shadows forever. Furthermore, one stray flashlight can detect Ayana and give her away.

Figuring out the best ways to get the drop on Helios and assassinating them (or taking them down non-lethally) is important. Along with urban sci-fi cities, Ayana ventures to ruins and ancient temples and seeks vengeance for her kind. Stay tuned for more details and gameplay in the meantime.

Ravenlok

Cococucumber’s Ravenlok is the third title in its Voxel Trilogy – an action RPG set in a fantasy world reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. You’ll explore various realms, battle different monsters and bosses, complete quests, and discover new weapons and skills, all to defeat the Caterpillar Queen. It sounds straightforward but thus far, the visuals and gameplay look pretty compelling. Ravenlok is out in 2023 for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC along with Xbox Game Pass.

Along with merging with the shadows to become undetectable, Ayana can also freely climb walls and other surfaces to set up ambushes. There’s a fair share of non-lethal abilities on hand along with high-tech gadgets. But in the end, it’s all up to you, whether you wish to slay foes, sneak past them undetected or get creative.

Along with city ruins and ancient temples, players will also venture through sci-fi structures to learn more about Ayana’s race. Ereban: Shadow Legacy is coming to PC and also out day one on Game Pass. It’s also available to wishlist from Steam. Stay tuned for more details on it in the coming months.
