Capcom has confirmed that Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, a brand-new hack-and-slash game, will be debuting on the Xbox Game Pass service on July 19, 2024. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is an action strategy game that takes place in a unique Japanese-inspired setting. It will be joining a number of other Day One Xbox Game Pass titles that will be released that month, such as the indie co-op game Flock.

Kunitsu-Gami was first announced in June 2023 during the Xbox Games Showcase, and was confirmed to be a day one Xbox Game Pass release during its reveal. However, Capcom only confirmed the project was in development at the time, and it wasn't given a hard release date. Capcom gave fans an update earlier this Spring that the game would be released by 2024. Fans now have an exact release date of when the game will be hitting the Xbox Game Pass service.

In a new Kunitsu-Gami trailer shown at Summer Game Fest, Capcom revealed that the game would be added to the Xbox Game Pass service on July 19, arriving the same day as its launch on other platforms. This trailer also gave fans a brief glimpse into its gameplay, focusing on a new character called "Soh." The character wields a katana and can attack their foes with all manner of sword strikes, while also maneuvering around the battlefield as a fireball-like spirit.

The trailer also showed off a number of different monsters that can be fought in Kunitsu-Gami, such as the Batsu. This trailer also gave fans some insight into some pre-order incentive bonuses, including two Talismans, which are equipment for Soh: Walking Basket and Astral Projection. A mini-artbook was also included as a pre-order bonus. Kunitsu-Gami is slated to also be released on PC through Steam and the Windows store, alongside PS4 and PS5 console versions.

Kunitsu-Gami wasn't the only title shown off by Capcom at Summer Game Fest, as the publisher revealed a brand-new trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds, along with the second year pass for Street Fighter 6. This second year pass in particular adds not only two fan favorite Street Fighter characters, but also a pair of guest fighters from Fatal Fury.

Subscribers of the Xbox Game Pass will also get access to Palworld' s massive Sakurajima update, which includes a brand-new island, tons of new Pals to find, a new raid, and more challenging boss fights. The level cap for Palworld will also be expanded, and the game will also get its own dedicated servers. This incredibly important update for Palworld will go live on July 27, which is a little over a week after Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess' debut.
