We've been keeping a keen eye on isometric action game Tunic for a long time, which is also a timed Xbox exclusive at launch, and as part of The Game Awards, it's been confirmed that it will release on March 16, 2022.
If you fancy trying it for yourself right now, a demo is available for Tunic as part of the ID@Xbox Winter Game Fest Demo Event, and you'll be able to access it until December 21st. Here's a bit of blurb about what to expect:
Explore a land filled with lost legends, ancient powers, and ferocious monsters in TUNIC, an isometric action game about a small fox on a big adventure. Stranded on a mysterious beach, armed with only your own curiosity, you will confront colossal beasts, collect strange and powerful items, and unravel long-lost secrets.
Excited for the release of Tunic next March? Let us know down in the comments below.

Let me guess. A 3 or 4 month timed exclusive before it pops up on PS4/PS5 like all of their timed exclusives recently.
Not trying to start anything. Just poking fun at the fact that their timed exclusives have been ridiculously short lately.
Might finally play the demo of this to try it out, as I never did when the demo first came out a year ago.
It looks good. Can’t wait to play it.
will there be multi coop?
Will try the demo but not feeling those camera angles.
@KilloWertz I thought the joke was only Sony do timed exclusives? Or at least I hear a lot of complaints on this site about it?
This one has GamePass written all over it. Has potential for old school Zelda feel but a timed Xbox game feels like it means it will be on GamePass - or at least thats what I read into it. Has this been confirmed either way yet? I could be tempted to try it if it is the case.
@StonyKL There have been multiple timed exclusives on Xbox recently that have only been around 3 or 4 months like The Medium instead of the more logical and meaningful year that timed exclusives like Final Fantasy 7 Remake (until it was renewed for the PS5 version) and Deathloop have been recently for PlayStation.
That's why I was making a joke about this being a timed exclusive. Who knows how long it will be, as they don't usually announce the time frame. Again, not trying to start anything. I was just having a bit of fun with their recent track record with timed exclusives. Stalker 2 will be another really short timed exclusive next year if the internal documents that were reported about back in May are accurate (3 months).
As for the game being on Game Pass, nothing has been announced. I would doubt it at launch since you think they would have mentioned it yesterday when the release date was announced.
@KilloWertz lol - sorry I was completely lost on the joke until I read it back again and now it makes sense! My mistake. I do remember The Medium as it was that game's exclusivity which pushed my to buy a Series X. Thought it was a Silent Hill clone and couldn't do without it so went all in on Xbox. Then it turned out to be average (only managed a few hours though), not exclusive and a very bad reason to pick up an Xbox. Oops.
To be fair it was the moment I realised Game passes pro and con. So many games to get through that unless something grips you straight away then its binned and onto the next.
Anyway, good point on the fact I haven't heard about this being on GP probably means it won't be on GP.
@StonyKL It's all good. We'll all experience brain farts from time to time.
I played The Medium finally back in October as my one horror game for the month and thought it was ok. At some points, the graphics were quite good, while others merely average. Same kind of goes for the game itself, but I also didn't feel like I wasted my time either. I do wish I had headphones, as the audio was supposed to be fantastic and that would have helped at least a bit. The Series X was probably still worth it for you regardless.
Yeah, GP is great, but obviously not perfect. I still tend to just play what I plan on actually finishing, as I don't have time to really just experiment much. I have tried a few games I wouldn't have normally bought, but I still stick to what I probably would have bought already more often than not. I know that's rare.
Nice that it's a timed exclusive like Death's Door. I have on Series S but a game likes that and like this are great for vacation portable play on the Switch.
