By Paula Beaton Chained Beasts has been announced for Game Pass and will be coming to the service as a day one release on October 15, 2026.
The 1 to 4 player co-op gladiator roguelike looks like a ton of fun to play with friends this October and allows you to use the environment against your enemies.
Fight chaotic battles chained to your friends. Use your chains or the arena to beat up foes in creative ways and win over the bloodthirsty crowd. Endure physical and mental injuries to defeat fearsome bosses and survive the day.
You’ll need to work as a team in Chained Beasts to avoid getting tangled up. Sync your moves and you can trip your foes, take down brutal bosses, and be victorious in battle!
Each day you fight in the arena leaves you with new wounds and battle scars that you’ll need to live with, from a missing eye to a painful limp. Of course, you could treat the pain with potions, but beware the strange side effects and afflictions that await!
Get the crowd behind you and they’ll have your back, save money to purchase weapons and equipment to take down the most powerful foes, unlock new characters with unique abilities, and enjoy a different path on each run.
Developed by Featherweight Games, the studio behind titles like Rodeo Stampede and Botworld Odyssey and Adventure, it looks like this will be a popular day one release on Game Pass for the spooky season.
