Shadowdropping onto Game Pass

Following on from a previous drop of the original Wargroove – check out our review of that on Xbox – Wargroove 2 whisks us off to the world of Aurania. It’s here where relics lie, each with more power than you could ever imagine. With the unearthing of them through a new faction, who knows what will happen to the world. 

What this all means is that in Wargroove 2 on Xbox, Game Pass and PC, you’ll be tasked with taking on a new adventure. You’ll get to meet friends and enemies, get to the bottom of dastardly plots and wage war on anything that moves. You’ll do that via a set of Commanders, each complete with a tiered Groove ability. 

Further to that comes the opportunity to create – and share – your own maps, campaigns and more. If you played the original Wargroove, you should find this one massively appealing.
