The hunting genre is still relatively niche in gaming, but when you add in monsters and heavy metal music, you might as well toss the genre norms out the window. The Axis Unseen does what no other hunting game does, adding in immense atmosphere, a head-banging soundtrack, and even better, it’s coming to Xbox Series X/S this week!
According to developer Just Purkey Games, The Axis Unseen launches on Xbox Series X/S on December 18. Nate Purkeypile, a solo developer and 20-year game development veteran, crafted The Axis Unseen single-handedly, with a folklore-driven open world in which you hunt ancient creatures.
On Xbox Series X/S, The Axis Unseen promises console-specific enhancements for those who want the full couch gaming experience to unfold cinematically. It features:
