One of Xbox Game Pass' biggest supporters is going cosmic horror with its first sequel, and we just got our first look

It's Xbox Partner Preview day, and that means over a dozen new game announcements and reveals from a diverse range of third-party Xbox partners. It's also the perfect stage for indie studio Cococucumber to reaffirm its long-running relationship with Xbox by announcing its next game — and its first ever sequel.

This is Echo Generation 2, an ambitious and darker follow-up to the 2021 original that expands the world, mixes up the gameplay, and evolves Cococucumber's distinct voxel art style. We got our first trailer today, but I also had an opportunity to speak with Vanessa Chia, Game Director & Producer and Martin Gauvreau, Game Director & Lead Programmer at Cococucumber ahead of the game's announcement.
