Hello fellow Xbox enthusiasts! We’ve got some exciting news to share: the much-anticipated game, Overthrown, is set to debut on Xbox Game Preview for Xbox Series X|S and PC on December 10. And yes, it’ll be part of Game Pass! If you’re discovering Overthrown for the first time, let me give you the scoop. This isn’t your average city builder. Imagine diving into a world where chaos reigns supreme, coupled with the thrill of playing as an anime superhero. You can team up with up to five friends to build and protect your city from mutants and bandits. Today, I’m here to dish out some tips to supercharge your co-op experience.
Let’s paint the picture first. A mystical, soul-stealing crown gives you incredible powers to lift just about anything—giant trees, monster nests, even an entire sawmill. Instead of dragging trees one by one, how about dashing through the forest, absorbing them on the fly? Nothing’s beyond your reach! And did I mention the supersonic speed, legendary throw, and a whirlwind spin attack? Think helicopter takeoff! Now, combine that power with a few friends, and the possibilities are endless!
To ensure you hit the ground running, here are a few handy tips for co-op play.
### One Crown to Rule Them All
When playing with pals, the Crown is up for grabs on the map. Whoever grabs it first gets a souped-up version of your superpowers, making them the fastest at pulling off fantastic maneuvers. You’re all working towards a common goal, but a little friendly competition never hurt anyone, right? Keep your eyes peeled though; the Crown isn’t always yours to keep. It may get nicked by a crafty enemy like a Tuskar or an Outlaw. If that happens, rally your friends to reclaim it, and whoever snatches it back enjoys that rewarding boost. Remember, Overthrown is all about cooperation, so don’t even think about turning against your comrades!
### Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Here’s another tidbit: the more workstations you establish, the quicker you’ll see citizens pop up in your settlement. In multiplayer, divvy up tasks—maybe you handle construction while a friend tackles combat. Everyone has their niche and that’s the beauty of it! By distributing the labor, you’ll have citizens settling faster.
### Experiment
Finally, embrace experimentation. Overthrown is built on curiosity and player-driven discovery. Always ask yourself, “Can I do this?” and “What if I try that?” The game encourages exploration with a resounding “Yes, try it out!” Expect plenty of interactive features for unexpected surprises and pure fun. That’s the joy of teaming up with friends.
We hope you’re as stoked about Overthrown as we are and eager to dive in solo or with friends. We’re fine-tuning the game with help from the community, so your input matters. Mark your calendars for December 5 when it hits Xbox Game Preview and Game Pass for both Xbox consoles and PC.
Note: The initial post mentioned a December 10 launch date. However, it’s actually hitting the stage on December 5.
