Mutant Year Zero will be launching on XBOX Game Pass on December 4

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, the tactical adventure game combining real-time exploration with XCOM-like turn-based tactical combat from Funcom, will be launching December 4th on XBOX Game Pass. The game will also be available on both PC and PlayStation 4 the same day and is now available for pre-order on both these platforms.

The game is developed by a team made up of former HITMAN and PAYDAY lead developers. Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden have been collecting both awards and praise from press who have gotten hands-on time with the game. The game was revealed earlier this year and the debut trailer made the game’s unique anthropomorphic characters “go viral”. Based on the Swedish pen and paper RPG Mutant, the game puts you in the hooves of Bormin the boar and the webbed feet of Dux the duck as they explore a post-human Earth.

This news was part of the XO18 and was a surprise to those who haven’t kept up on Mutant Year Zero and being on Game Pass should put a spotlight on the promising tactical gameplay it provides. Our first hands on video preview is live and goes over our impressions and offers a glimpse of some early gameplay.
