The announcement has not gone unnoticed, especially since it’s a game published by Xbox Game Studios, which raises questions among fans about the company’s strategy regarding its own releases on the service. We don’t know if it’s an error, but for now, if you visit the Xbox Game Pass section where departures are marked, this title appears.

Age of Mythology: Retold says goodbye to Game Pass

The departure of Age of Mythology: Retold comes 12 months after its arrival, something unusual for first-party titles. The game, which recovers the essence of the classic strategy game with a revamped graphic section and gameplay improvements, had found in Game Pass the perfect place to reach new audiences.

Other games leaving the service:

• Ninja Gaiden Sigma (Cloud, console, and PC)

• Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (Cloud, console, and PC)

• Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge (Cloud, console, and PC)

Although you can still enjoy it until October 15th, remember that Game Pass subscribers have a special discount to purchase it outright, allowing you to keep playing once it leaves the service.
