We saw some interesting new Xbox announcements at the ID@Xbox April 2023 Showcase today, but the one that arguably stole the show was The Explorator, described as a "semi-open fantasy FPS" with a comic book art style.
There's no release date for this one just yet, but we've got plenty of details to share courtesy of The Explorator's official Steam page, and you can also check out the stunning trailer up above. Keep in mind this game is being made by just two people right now - it's the brainchild of a game developer based in Lyon:
"The Explorator is a semi-open fantasy FPS, as an explorer you take your courage in both hands to set foot on the most dangerous island of the known world, Ospolis."
"Legends say that the legendary city of Atlantis lies beneath this island, which has been suddenly overrun by goblins and monsters that have emerged from the bowels of the underground tunnels drilled by unwary explorers confident of finding the famous city."
- Realistic FPS, each bullet is deadly, one bullet is enough on the right enemy, and the explosives will kill for sure the bigger monsters
- Inventory and weight management: feel free to collect or buy items that will help you in your expedition, but you won't be able to carry everything
- Characters to meet who will sometimes give you quests
- Exploration rewarded by unique items and places
- Weapon and armor upgrades, character talent choices
- Relics to find that will give you unique characteristics

This game just looks like ridiculous fun! Totally unexpected.
Now put it on Game Pass and I'll really be happy
Looks like a riot of humor and definitely my cup of tea!
It's only been announced for Xbox on consoles so it will 100% be coming to gamepass.
Kinda reminds me of Tinkykin. With guns. And dinosaurs.
"So whaddya think?"
"Looks amazing actually. We'll put it on Xbox on ONE condition: you're not allowed to actually announce a release date. "
"Why not?!"
"It's just how things work around here. In fact it'd be great if you announce the game, then disappear for like 2 years, then come back, ANNOUNCE a release date, then delay it a couple times. REALLY piss the gamers off. We hate them SO MUCH....."
@UltimateOtaku91 nahhh, Death's Door was a similar case but didn't.
Be nice if it did though
The trailer was awesome, I just hope it's fun. I want to see more of the gunplay before I judge it but it looked a little rough in the brief showing.
@Cherip-the-Ripper Death's Door joined game pass 6 months after release. It's still on the service. Much like the Falconeer, added 3 months later, although that is no longer available on GP. Explorator could be the same as those.
@AverageJoseph I'm hoping for it, played through both on gp and did like my time with em (Falconeer a bit less).
Much love to this indie french studios that took clearly inspiration from nino kuni. ❤️✌️

I wouldn't say 100% on Game Pass... Specially with it being a single player game, if it was PvP and Xbox console exclusive... I think 100% it would be on XGP
With this being the first announcement and it only being made by 2 people presently... This game is for sure not going to be coming out this year. You can bet on that. So hopefully we hear something about a Game Pass deal when we actually get closer to the game launching
