It\u2019s an honor and a pleasure to invite Xbox players everywhere to join our adventuring party today, as <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-gb\/games\/store\/across-the-obelisk\/9p6s46plh464\">Across the Obelisk<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is out today for Xbox Series X|S!<\/p>\n<p>From our humble beginnings in early access over three years ago, our team has been hard at work building <em>Across the Obelisk,<\/em> our unique party-based deckbuilding RPG, through expansions, updates, and improvements. Now, we\u2019re adding a whole new group of heroes to our world \u2013 all of you \u2013 and we\u2019re going to make sure you can jump right in whether you\u2019re bringing more new friends to the party, or whether you\u2019re catching up with folks who already know their way around our expanding world.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Fight_08-Baseline-edd59c95167771c33089.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-205357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Fight_08-Baseline-edd59c95167771c33089.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Fight_08-Baseline-edd59c95167771c33089-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Fight_08-Baseline-edd59c95167771c33089-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Fight_08-Baseline-edd59c95167771c33089-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>For those of you starting your journey with <em>Across the Obelisk<\/em> today, perhaps you\u2019re wondering exactly what a \u201cdeckbuilding RPG\u201d entails. It is firstly a deck-builder, where your abilities are tied to a deck of cards, and you have to choose a few cards to play during your turn to attack monsters, cast spells, put up defenses, etc. Over the course of the game, you will add more powerful cards and remove ones that are cluttering your selection, and thus build a deck that better fits your play style and can overcome the challenges in your path.<\/p>\n<p>Now, mesh that with a four-character party \u2013 with each character managing their own individual deck \u2013 and a branching map full of decisions, sidequests, and key items that open new doors across the world, and you\u2019ve got our game!<\/p>\n<p><em>Across the Obelisk<\/em> plays great for anyone familiar with managing a full RPG party in a single player game, but where the game truly shines is in multiplayer, with each of your four characters played and managed by a different person. Finding ways to support your friends, coordinate (or argue!) your group\u2019s choices, and battle as a team all really come through when you\u2019ve got a full party. That\u2019s why we built our multiplayer experience with absolutely no barriers to entry. As anyone who\u2019s ever had an RPG group can tell you: learning the game is easy. Getting four people to coordinate a game night is the hard part! We didn\u2019t want there to be any challenges from the game itself in building your party, so our game has a few extra features to make life easier and your adventure more variable.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Victory_04-Baseline-2bf00b6d03188b8c8f69.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-205360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Victory_04-Baseline-2bf00b6d03188b8c8f69.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Victory_04-Baseline-2bf00b6d03188b8c8f69-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Victory_04-Baseline-2bf00b6d03188b8c8f69-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Victory_04-Baseline-2bf00b6d03188b8c8f69-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>For starters, <em>Across the Obelisk<\/em> has completely open cross-platform multiplayer.

If anyone in your party owns any of our DLC, everybody gets to share! You can freely play any of our expansion heroes without worrying if your friends also own the DLC, and your party can travel to any expansion maps so long as just one of you has bought it.<\/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\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Fight_10-b30dc33c7384624c90be.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-205359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Fight_10-b30dc33c7384624c90be.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Fight_10-b30dc33c7384624c90be-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Fight_10-b30dc33c7384624c90be-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/XBOX_AtO_Basegame_Fight_10-b30dc33c7384624c90be-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>With that in mind, we can\u2019t wait to see what kind of adventures you all have in our growing realms.
