The game was initially set to be an Xbox One exclusive, but it seems that Microsoft has had a change of heart and decided to opt for a general release on both its console and computer platforms. At E3 2016, Microsoft announced Xbox Play Anywhere, which allows you to play Xbox One games on Windows 10 computers.

ReCore E3 2015 reveal trailer
ReCore gameplay and characters
Update 17 June 2016: At E3 2016, there was a new gameplay trailer which showcases how the game will look and feel like – it’s safe to say that we’re excited! Few gameplay details are available, but we know that ReCore is the story of the last few remaining humans on earth and their friendly robot companions, who together hope to tackle obstacles and enemy robots in an effort to rebuild humanity. Metroid Prime game director and now head designer at Armature Marc Pacini told Kotaku that ReCore would be a third-person, non-linear game, putting players in an open landscape that is affected by shifting sands. Indeed, ReCore puts you in the shoes of Joule, a human survivor, who is accompanied by her robot dog, Mack. That is, until a sandstorm hits. Also see: Best new games coming in 2015/2016. This sandstorm affects the map, completely changing the scenery of the game. Joule and her dog explore the area, finding themselves in a cave where they are attacked by robots. Mack sacrifices himself by creating a huge blast; it destroys his body and all the robots around him. Mack’s consciousness remains, giving Joule hope of bringing him back to life. Joule picks up his core and puts it in a robot’s body, allowing Mack to live to see another day – but in a new form. This ability to place a core in a new ‘vehicle’ is a theme of the game, Pacini told Kotaku. It reports: “Joule befriends several energy cores – spheres of light that have personality and that can be placed in “frames” shaped like a dog, a gorilla and who knows what else.” Much of the game is set in this desert-like scenery, but Joule can also go underground, where she faces even more dangerous robots than those above ground, but can also pick up items that may be of use to her in her struggle to survive this planet and rebuild humanity.
