In an exciting update for Xbox gamers, Nine Sols is set to make its debut on Xbox Game Pass next week, alongside a host of other titles. Slated for release on Tuesday, November 26th, this launch promises to bring a unique gaming experience to the platform.
Nine Sols initially launched on PC, where it garnered an impressive rating of “Overwhelmingly Positive” on the Steam platform, with nearly 14,000 reviews. This action-platformer draws inspiration from Sekiro, featuring intricately designed environments as well as detailed animations. Moreover, the game has been frequently compared to Hollow Knight, indicating a rich depth to its design and gameplay.
Players have voiced their enthusiasm for Nine Sols, with many praising its compelling storyline and engaging mechanics. Below are some of the highlights from player reviews on Steam:
Wolvi on Steam: “Wow. Just wow man. After 40 hours of playing and getting one of the endings, I can safely say this game is a masterpiece from the very beginning all the way to the end. It does a really good job of getting you hooked on the game right off the bat with its story, characters, art style and combat system that I wished more people would take a look into before labeling it as a Hollow Knight clone/rip-off, when they are fundamentally different products that share some similarities.”
Iditri on Steam: “This game is a mixture of Hollow Knight and Sekiro but don’t be mistaken to think that it’s a bad copy. The game has its own footings and given their older games, it’s a great deviation from their former projects. The game has a beautiful soundtrack, beautiful gameplay, beautiful art style and whatnot. The game has well-written lore about the world.”
Little Salty on Steam: “Don’t you dare lazily compare this piece of art to other games that have completely different specialties. Nine Sols is a dance; a unique feast of an experience in lore, with intense yet methodical gameplay.”
For those interested in experiencing the game firsthand, Nine Sols will be accessible across various platforms, including Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. However, it is important to note that it will not be part of the “Core” or “Standard” Game Pass libraries at this time.
Below, additional details about Nine Sols are outlined, along with a link to its trailer for those eager to preview the game’s features.
