The next batch of free games for Xbox Live Gold has been announced. In December 2018, subscribers will receive two Xbox One titles – QUBE 2 and Never Alone – and an Xbox 360 title – Dragon Age 2. Interestingly, an original Xbox title is also available, with Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.

While QUBE 2 will be available throughout the month, Never Alone is available from December 16th to January 15th, 2019. Dragon Age 2 can be claimed from December 1st to 15th, while Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is available from December 16th to 31st. As with previous months’ offerings, the Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles will be backwards compatible on Xbox One.

The inclusion of Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is interesting because it means other original Xbox titles could be available for free in the future as well. The real question is: What can we expect? Perhaps classics like Panzer Dragoon Orta or Jade Empire? Time will tell, so we’ll see what the new year has to hold.

Q.U.B.E. 2 has been a long time coming- the development cycle of the game allegedly spans five years! But the good news is, the game’s release is actually just around the corner now. Toxic Games announced today that the game will be launching next month, on March 13; as previously announced, it will be made available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The first person puzzle game was already confirmed to be hitting store shelves some time this year as of Fall 2017, but an exact release date was unknown until now. Now, finally, players know when they can get their hands on the mind bending puzzle game.

Q.U.B.E. originally launched in 2013, with a definitive edition launching in 2014 for PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, and PC; the sequel will take after that definitive edition, with a narrative in game that sees players take on the role of archaeologist Amelia Cross, as she wakes up in a strange new world she does not recognize.
