Released in March 2022, Tango Gameworks’Ghostwire: Tokyowas considered by some to beone of the year’s most disappointing games, but a new rumor suggests that the game may get a second chance on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass along with some extra content. An action-adventure title that played a bit like a paranormalFar Cry,Ghostwire: Tokyowas mostly forgotten in the face of consequential competition such asElden RingandHorizon Forbidden West. However, more content and increased accessibility could be just what the Bethesda-published title needs to succeed.

According to a post submitted to r/GamingLeaksAndRumors by Reddit user u/Eht_Hctins,Ghostwire: Tokyowill make its Xbox Game Pass debut in March, roughly one year after its initial release. The leaker also suggests that new content will be added to the game, though they don’t elaborate on what this might entail. It’s worth noting that u/Eht_Hctins doesn’t refer to the game by name, instead simply stating that “spooky Japanese ghosts will return in March.” Of course, barring the completely out-of-the-blue return of Tango Gameworks’The Evil Withinseries,Ghostwire: Tokyowas almost certainly the game to which they were referring.
It seems thatBethesda fans have a lot to look forward to in 2023; from upcoming big-budget titles likeStarfieldandRedfallto updates concerning the previously-announced next entry in theElder Scrollssaga, it should be a very big year for the publisher. With that in mind,Ghostwire: Tokyo’s launch on Xbox probably won’t turn that many heads, though additional support could hint that the IP is far from finished.
There’s also quite a bit for fans of horror gaming to look forward to this year. With huge releases such asMotive Studios’Dead Spaceremakeand Capcom’s remake ofResident Evil 4pending, it could be a huge year for horror. WhileGhostwire: Tokyoisn’t likely to play a huge part in that, and is not even considered a true horror game by its developers, it could serve as a supplementary part of the dawn of a new era for the genre.
Ghostwire: Tokyois out now for PC and PS5.
