A couple weeks back, Microsoft revealed a half-dozen games, including Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Batman: Return to Arkham, were coming to Xbox Game Pass in February. Well, it turns out that wasn’t the full lineup! An additional batch of February games, including Alien: Isolation, Epic Mickey 2, The Walking Dead: Season 2, and more are on the way!
You can check out official Microsoft descriptions of all the late-February Xbox Game Pass titles below:
Headlander (February 21)
In this 2.5D metroidvania-style game, you are the last known human (well, human head) in the universe. You’re suffering from amnesia like anyone might do if their head was stuck in a jar I suppose, but you do have lasers and beams to attack and yoink the noggins off of robots and put your own there to take over the body. Explore rooms, solve puzzles, defeat hostile machines, and discover what has happened since humanity uploaded their minds into the cloud.
Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two (February 21)
Unleash the power of the brush in this co-op adventure with Mickey Mouse and Oswald in Disney’s Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two! With paint brush and remote control, Mickey and Oswald visit the alternate magical world filled with music, forgotten Disney characters, and attractions. Forever change the Wasteland in this heroic adventure where your “PlayStyle Matters”, and you can conduct your own unique soundtrack to this magical world, and truly save the Wasteland.
The Walking Dead: Season 2 (February 28)
Following the harrowing events of The Walking Dead: Season 1, Clementine is now alone in a world ruled by the undead. Experience the unique perspective of playing as a child in the apocalypse, where you’ll have to outsmart what you can’t fight. Explore gorgeous comic book style environments, survive harrowing action scenes, crack puzzles, and decide who is friend or foe. Every choice is on the clock, every call is yours, and the consequences will follow you to the very end.
Alien: Isolation (February 28)
Experience the modern horror classic that captured the core of the Alien movies and won over 50 Game of The Year awards. Ellen Ripley’s daughter, Amanda, is trapped aboard Sevastopol space station while an unseen threat lurks, stalking and killing the remaining survivors from deep in the shadows. Hunted by this terrifying creature, Ripley must find some way to escape the station where every breath and movement could be her last.
