We’re still waiting on Microsoft to formally reveal the first batch of Xbox Game Pass titles for August 2025<\/a> (it’ll probably be early next week now), but an upcoming release has quietly sneaked into the “Coming Soon” list anyway.<\/p>\n

This release is a game called “Herdling<\/a>“, and it’s coming out on August 21st. In Herdling, you’ll “guide a herd of mysterious creatures on a stirring and beautiful journey into the mountains and beyond”.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, this is the next project from the team behind the well-received Far: Lone Sails<\/a> and Far: Changing Tides<\/a> games, and it’s being published by Panic – known for Firewatch, Untitled Goose Game and various other things.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, it could be a few days yet until Microsoft starts talking about the August 2025 Xbox Game Pass lineup properly, but we’ll link our guide to the month down below – along with more details and screenshots for Herdling.<\/p>\n

Herdling – August 21 (Xbox Game Pass)<\/p>\n

“Herdling is a brand new adventure from Okomotive, creators of the atmospheric and acclaimed FAR games, and Panic, publishers of Firewatch. Head out on a grand alpine expedition with a herd of loveable beasts, as you ascend a mountain path, encounter eerie dangers and surprising obstacles, and forge your way to the mystery at the summit.”<\/p>\n
