Of all the publishers that have shown love for Xbox Game Pass over the past few years, No More Robots has been particularly devoted to the service - bringing the vast majority of their games to Game Pass including Descenders, Let's Build A Zoo, Hypnospace Outlaw and Soccer Story.
It'll come as no surprise, then, that the publisher has more XGP titles in the works. The first of those is the already announced Spirittea, while the other two are unannounced but should arrive within the next 18 months.
It's unknown what form those unannounced games will take, although it's already been confirmed (via a PCGamesN interview) that some kind of sequel to Descenders could be revealed later this year.
As you can see in the tweet above, No More Robots founder Mike Rose is continuing to sing the praises of Xbox Game Pass following Jim Ryan's recent "value destructive" comments, with Rose stating that it's "been amazing for us" and the company intends to "keep bringing games to the service".

is Descenders fun?
@Cashews I keep Descenders installed because it's a fun little game to clean the appetite before and after playing a long and dense game. The soundtrack is good too
Game Pass is BRILLIANT for games of this sort of size and scope. All the games mentioned above are made by a core team of around 10-20 people give or take, perhaps with some assistance in special areas like music/audio.
For games of this size and scope the budgets are relatively low, meaning Microsoft can often cover development costs. But more importantly being on Game Pass also acts as a MASSIVE PR campaign meaning their game gets column inches, is shown on the Game Pass dashboard and ultimately reaches more players. It will also lead to more sales on Xbox and other platforms. It's a massive win:win for all, it's great and not surprising they want to be on it.
But it's not one size fits all. Just because it's great for smaller developers doesn't mean it is a great fit for other games and devs, especially as they get larger and exponentially more expensive.
Jim Ryan doesn't quite understand the definition of unanimous.
Publishers must see value in gamepass if they are repeatedly bringing more games to the service. If they all believed the phony "value destructive" narrative they would be one and done.
@Cashews Great game. Had 2 weeks off work after a rather nasty biopsy and it kept me amused in between pain relief and sleep. Still installed and me and my son play it regularly.
