A second batch of games is headed to the Xbox One backward compatibility list this week, bringing 3 new titles. Included in this round are Darksiders, Darksiders II, and Assassin's Creed Revelations.

For anyone unfamiliar with these particular titles, Assassin's Creed Revelations (opens in new tab) is a continuation of the popular series in which protagonist Ezio travels to the heart of the Ottoman Empire to take on an army of templars. The Darksiders (opens in new tab) series, on the other hand, places you in the shoes of on of the four horseman of the apocalypse as you battle both angels and demons. Darksiders II (opens in new tab) has you picking up the mantle once again after you're awakened by the end of days.

If you already own these games, you should be able to start playing them right away on your Xbox One. That said, if you have yet to pick up Darksiders or Assassin's Creed Revelations, you'll probably want to hold off until next month: both games will be free through the Games with Gold program in April. And for more, be sure to check out our running list of backward compatible games.

  • I've been waiting for the Darksiders games to go back compat!!! Now I don't have to buy the remasters. Haha.
  • I was holding out thinking the same:-)
  • But the remasters are prettier and play better. That's why you bought a new console.
  • Great with AC Rev! Now just waiting for ACB to complete the trio
  • Bought darksiders 2 on my 360 awhile back. Haven't played it much since the 360 is hooked up to the family tv. Glad to have it appear in my ready to install tab today. Now to just a week until I can get the first one and I'll be set.
  • Great games. Especially the first one.
  • Ninja Gaiden series please
  • Is AC 3 COMPATIBLE YET
  • Don't think so.
