Microsoft has unveiled ten new Xbox Live Arcade games that will be making their way to the service over the coming months. The releases will begin in February and include such high profile titles as Alien Hominid HD, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Worms.
There’s no release schedule to speak of, with Microsoft stating that details of the each title will appear closer to each release. Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays will continue, but Microsoft is clear that a new game won’t necessarily be released every week.
Upcoming titles in alphabetical order:
