We may be about to head into an absolute whirlwind of Xbox Game Pass news in the coming days and weeks as all of the showcases roll in, but things are kicking into gear already! This week, we've got brand-new trailers for two upcoming Game Pass releases - including one that was previously undated.
That'll be the metroidvania-cooking game Magical Delicacy, whilst we also have a huge new gameplay deep dive for SteamWorld Heist 2 from developer Thunderful.
Here are those fresh looks, alongside a quick refresher on what to expect from each title:
Magical Delicacy - July 16
"A wholesome adventure set in an enchanting world, Magical Delicacy invites you to play as the young witch Flora, who travels to the adventurer’s town of Grat to grow her magical skills and fulfill her dream of becoming a fully-fledged witch."
SteamWorld Heist 2 - August 8
"Join Captain Leeway and his ragtag crew as they uncover the enigmatic menace threatening the Great Sea. Equip and upgrade your crew for turn-based gunfights packed with ricochet action and engage in real-time naval combat. Get ready to aim, plot, and plunder in this uproarious Steambot adventure!"
Are either of these enticing you so far? Tell us what you think to these upcoming Game Pass additions down below!

SteamWorld Heist 2 had me as soon as I learned it existed. I loved the first game and Dig 2 so much. I'm currently playing Quest and that's great too.
ooo im gonna be so happy when my gp sub runs out and i dont remew. just one more year of torture for me.
Excited for Steam World Heist 2 but is Gamepass a good idea? I mean Build was in Gamepass and yes the genre wasn't to some people's tastes it was still an interesting game from that team. I haven't played Quest wasn't sure if it was my thing compared to Heist being a tactics or more my thing.
Not into typical turn based games or other types of RPGs really other than the combat in Conception being a good spin on turn based but that's been an exception because of the few games at least that I see doing anything interesting with combat that isn't the usually and a few tweaks but not changing it enough for me to care.
I mean I guess for a non-tactics/turn based RPG audience or people just wanting something different or those like me that are into the games. But on Gamepass hmm. I mean I would have bought it and might still do that but Gamepass sure I'd give it a go. Even though I hope it doesn't change it up too much and disappoint me like some IPs do for audience appeal.
Steam World Heist I found I didn't seek other gameplay ideas because the characters/weapons and maps were good enough. I didn't have Diofield is disappointing mentality because it lacks depth and pushed story too hard (like many of Square's lower titles from a few years ago Foamstars or others included, rushed out the door and lack quality or fun factor) because Valkyria Chronicles or Disgaea have better ideas in goals, abilities or level design in mind.
Image and Form being Indie so I give them some slack there and have fair expectations but that and just the characters dialogue and the gameplay was just fun, each weapon being good to swap out/use in many situations, the maps were great for combat obstacles, besides the fair pacing and general design just being good for what was offered.
That and I also just found it more fun then Dig was. Dig I got there but was really confusing in that first area and how bad at Metroidvanias I was before finally getting through it while Heist was just generally fun throughout (got it via disk copy on Wii U).
