You are an Ace, born anew from the spirit realm with the skills, the grit, and the determination to protect the people of the Belfry. With spirit companions fighting by your side, you are destined for battle. &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\nCan you become the Ace humanity needs to survive? Find out in Towerborne, the newest action-adventure game created by Stoic, the studio that brought you the award-winning Banner Saga trilogy. &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\nAdventure Together \u2013 Venture out of The Belfry solo or with up to three other Aces* to vanquish the looming terror that surrounds the tower. Either way, you won\u2019t be alone. Aces can recruit Umbra companions to join them in battle, gaining access to enhanced skills and unique abilities tied to each spirit. After fighting your way through enemies, return to The Belfry to turn in quests, reforge gear, and more. &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\nBrave the Wilds \u2013 Towerborne is designed with player choice in mind. Create your Ace with options to customize your looks, gear and weapons. Switch up your overall gameplay experience at any time by changing your danger level as you venture into the wilds. Find and wield powerful weapons with unique special moves from one of four styles: War Clubs, Gauntlets, Dual Daggers, and Swords &amp; Shields. Mix and match to make your Ace your own! &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\nContinue the Fight \u2013 With an evolving world map and seasonal content, your Ace will never run out of areas to explore and enemies to defeat. Seasons of Towerborne continue the story of The Belfry by introducing new enemies to battle, regions to discover, abilities to master, and lore to uncover (available as released). &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n*Online console multiplayer requires Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Game Pass Core (subscriptions sold separately).&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Worldsoul Saga begins August 26 with World of Warcraft: The War Within<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em>PC via Battle.net<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/WoW-2573fb4e3934fcc7f40b.jpg\" alt=\"World of Warcraft: War Within Key Art\" class=\"wp-image-203783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/WoW-2573fb4e3934fcc7f40b.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/WoW-2573fb4e3934fcc7f40b-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/WoW-2573fb4e3934fcc7f40b-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/WoW-2573fb4e3934fcc7f40b-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>2024 is a year of anniversaries for the Warcraft universe, which is turning 30 in the same year. <em>Hearthstone<\/em> celebrates 10 years, <em>Warcraft Rumble<\/em> approaches one year, and of course, <em>World of Warcraft<\/em>\u2026 which turns 20 years old in November!
