Always a pleasure to dive deeper into the very cool things we reveal during Partner Previews - and I am particularly excited to see Raji re-emerge with a sequel, looking absolutely fantastic and totally different to the first game. Exciting!
Raji: Kaliyuga is far from a simple sequel to Raji: An Ancient Epic - it's a whole new game (and genre) entirely. Find out more after its world premiere: #XboxPartnerPreview news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/1...

There's a Vampire Survivors spin-off. It's a roguelike deckbuilder. It's also an old-school dungeon crawler. It's also probably other, stranger things. I am hideously psyched - and I got to speak to Luca from Poncle all about where the hell this came from.
Surprise! Vampire Crawlers is a roguelike deckbuilder spin-off of the beloved Vampire Survivors, arriving next year - check out our exclusive first interview: #XboxPartnerPreview news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/1...
