John and Mary’s latest outing splits into two parallel escapades across unusual locales and timelines.

Expect tanks, walkers, and infantry squads with a broad equipment pool, alongside training, operation planning, and deadly tactical battles.

Sora – Winds of the Jungle – Optimized for Xbox Series X|S

February 6 – Roguelite Wreckage, Grid Tactics, and Precision Puzzles

Carmageddon: Rogue Shift – Optimized for Xbox Series X|S

Patrol, stop suspicious drivers, and read situations on the fly. Encounters can turn into chases, arrests, or emergencies, pushing a routine shift into something more volatile.
