The Lamplighters League Announced and on Gamepass Day One

xboxoldies.com:

During the Paradox Showcase presented by Xbox, we were expecting something related to Xbox GamePass and sure enough, the forthcoming strategy game The Lamplighters League and the Tower at the end of the world from the creators of the Shadowrun trilogy will be arriving on Xbox Game Pass on release day.

The Lamplighters League is an original pulp adventure set in an alternate 1930s, challenging players to outwit and outrun a sinister global cult before they can achieve world domination, with a mix of gameplay styles including real-time infiltration, turn-based tactical combat, and managing a growing team of misfits. The Lamplighters League will launch for PC and Xbox Series X and S consoles in 2023.
