Explore the Chaotic Realm of Overthrown: A City Builder Featuring Co-op and Heroes

Hey there, Xbox family! We are thrilled to share some exciting news: our latest game, Overthrown, will be coming to Xbox Game Preview on Xbox Series X|S and PC on December 5, and you can grab it on Game Pass too! For those discovering Overthrown for the first time, it’s a city builder with a unique twist. It’s all about embracing chaos, and it brings an anime twist where you can dive into the action with superhero-level abilities either solo or with up to five pals. Yep, you’ll be firefighting mutants and outlaws while building and managing your city. Today, I’m here to give you a few pointers to make your co-op journey even more rewarding.

To set the stage, let’s talk about the backstory. You wield an ancient, magical crown with soul-stealing abilities that lets you lift anything with ease. Trees? No sweat. Monster nests? Piece of cake. You can even hoist up an entire sawmill and zip through a forest, gobbling up trees along your path. And that’s not all – with speed that rivals the wind, a historic throw, and a spin attack that can send you skyward like a helicopter, your powers have no limits. Now imagine harnessing these powers with up to five buddies – the fun and mayhem are limitless, right?

To get the jump on your co-op adventures, here are some handy tips:

One Crown to Rule Them All

In co-op mode, the Crown pops up on the map for anyone to snatch. Speed to it first! Every player gets a taste of the Crown’s powers, but the wearer enjoys a little extra charge boost, making those amazing moves just a tad quicker. Working as a team is key, but hey, a little friendly competition never hurt anyone, right? The mighty Crown can be stolen by foes like Tuskars or Outlaws, so be ready to band together and snatch it back. Whoever retrieves it earns a bonus. Remember, Overthrown isn’t about player-vs-player, so keep the backstabbing to a minimum!

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Next, remember that building more workstations leads to more citizens moving into your settlement. When you’re with friends, divvying up tasks across zones and districts helps grow your community faster. And if some of you prefer building while others dig combat, it’s a perfect match! Delegate those tasks based on passions and strengths.

Experiment

Lastly, don’t shy away from experimentation. Overthrown is designed with curiosity in mind. We want you and your friends asking, “Can we do this?” and “What happens if we try that?” The answer is a resounding, “Yes, you can!” and “Go for it!” There’s so much interactivity crafted in the game to surprise and engage you, injecting joy and laughter into your gaming sessions – it’s all about having fun with friends!

We’re eager to see how you’ll relish Overthrown, be it with your crew or as a solo adventurer. In Game Preview, we’re shaping Overthrown from community feedback, and your insights are invaluable on this journey. Mark your calendars for December 5 when Overthrown debuts on Xbox Game Preview and Game Pass, both on consoles and PC.

Note: We previously mentioned a December 10 release date, but it’s officially set for December 5.
