ReCore Definitive Edition Brings Players HDR, New Adventures and T8-NK Corebot!
Hello Far Eden Explorers!
We are excited to announce the ReCore Definitive Edition which lets players experience the game’s mysterious and dynamic world with enhanced visuals (increased resolution and HDR), a brand-new adventure, “Eye of Obsidian”, and the long-awaited T8-NK Corebot (“Tank”) who joins Joule, Mack, Seth, Duncan, and Violet as they explore new environments and dungeons while battling the deadly “Obsidian Cult”.
In addition to driving the T8-NK over quicksand and traveling across Far Eden with new power and speed, players will enjoy new weapon modes for Joule, new gear for all Corebots, more enemy types and many other gameplay and performance enhancements. With all this plus the help of a mysterious new character known as “AOK”, will you be able to stop the Obsidian Cult before they succeed?
Available worldwide on August 29, existing ReCore players will receive the “Eye of Obsidian” adventure, the T8-NK Corebot, and all the other enhancements, for free, as an online update. New players can download the ReCore Definitive Edition within their Xbox Game Pass membership or purchase it for $19.99 as an Xbox Play Anywhere game for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC from the Microsoft Store.
Happy adventuring, and we’ll see you on Far Eden!

Good to see MS still supported this but I remember the happy hour interview with Phil last year and it felt like he felt bad for the short dev time which clearly hurt the game.
I am not sure how far I am in this game yet, other than what I mentioned above about three sections of the floor being on fire (one at a time)....but I read something about the game sucks when you get in some building or tower and you are on different floors and the 3rd floor sucks and people gave up?
Some people did, yup. It gets overly challenging towards the end IMO. Some people didnt mind it too much. Still the most fun ive had in a while. You'll see...
The main tower stops the story dead as you need a set number of cores to open each floor
Any word on whether they rebalanced the end of the game or is it still the same grind? Sounds like it stayed the same.
Wow...when it swipes to show you the difference I am floored. So did they actually go in and add all that detail and sharpness, improved clouds, etc, or were they ALWAYS there, and then they toned it all down to match the performance of the Xbox One? Then all they had to do was ENABLE it all again for the Xbox One X?
Much of it was likely already made. I think the Current one runs at 720p, right? That alone would hide a ton of detail.
Shows how far behind i am. Already getting a definitive edition of a game that came out last year. I have every intention of playing ReCore soon, i just can't really get into the bigger games during the Summer. Keep saying i will, then i don't. It's too nice outside.
Looking forward to playing this on the games pass way to go MS!

UPCOMING UPDATES & NEW ADVENTURES IN RECORE: DEFINITIVE EDITION
New Adventure
- “Eye of Obsidian” is a brand new chapter in the ReCore story. Join the plucky Corebot, Violet, and journey into the permanent midnight of the “Starving Sea”, a previously unexplored region of Far Eden where ancient enemies plot their revenge on the last remnants of humankind!
- T8-NK Corebot (“Tank”)
- 2 New Overworlds
- 10 New Dungeons
- Dynamic sandstorms in Far Eden’s Shifting Sands regions. Brave the storms to defeat more dangerous enemies and earn more valuable loot.
- 3 new weapon modes for Joule’s Energy Rifle (switch to these instead of the charge shot)
- When dying, reload times for combat encounters went from 30-60 seconds to < 5 seconds
- Restarting traversals and arenas are now instantaneous (was a load before)
- Optimized Level/Area Load Times
- Added P-Cores for additional game play rewards and made them show up on the map from greater distances
- P-Core requirements fixed to a single value for the entire E-Tower. (Once you’re in the E-Tower, you no longer need additional cores.)
- The Map displays everything that needs to be collected (audio logs, chests, prismatic cores)
- The Map shows all visual parts of dungeon maps
- Objective Markers improved
- Map improvements (greater visual detail, better iconography, improved zoom functionality, more game elements show up like power cells, audio logs, etc)
- Fast Travel points now allow the player to complete Stash Transfers, Swap Cores and set their Companion Party Configuration without having to go back to the Sandcrawler
- The player can now warp anywhere there is a Fast Travel node via the Map
- Intra-Level (e.g. within The Cradle) fast travel warping is now instantaneous
- Added a few new Fast Travel nodes (Granite Steps, Lonely Basin, The Cradle)
- All new AoK gear for all Corebots
- Armor stats now make each Set vastly different from one another & the Perks have been refined and polished
- Blueprint Inventory now sorts by Armor Type, Color and LVL requirement
- Improved the Combo Meter to encourage much higher combo amounts, with the ability to chain combos for a longer period of time.
- At high combos (more than x10), the player now keeps some of the combo meter after using an extract!
- Global weapon tuning, enemy health and damage balancing, and late game encounter improvements
- Enhanced visuals (increased resolution and HDR support)
- 20 New Achievements and 500 gamerscore.
- Increased level cap from 30 to 40
- 4 new bosses and Tank challenges
- Various UX and Feedback fixes (Core Pulling HUD, Combo Counter feedback & wordsmithing, menu navigation)
- Audio for pickups, combat feedback, rewards improved
- Dialogue from Corebots and Violet is no longer in the Corebot language and is now readable
- Fast Travel points now allow the player to complete Stash Transfers, Swap Cores and set their Companion Party Configuration without having to go back to the Sandcrawler
Thank you!

The fast travel, load times fix and filling that empty area sound like significant fixes to the 3 biggest complaints during reviews. Wonder if Recore will get a re-review anywhere. Definitely buying this now.
Apparently, the free update is live now (if you already owned the original).
Download finished. Tried to start the game, wouldn't start for s***. Had to uninstall and now, reinstall. Fuk you Microsoft and your broken ass s***.
Bought it today. First impressions are good because I really like the controls and gameplay mechanics. Only beat the first part but there is a solid core to build around.
