Xbox One Backward Compatibility Continues to Expand Into RPG Territory

According to Major Nelson’s Xbox One backward compatibility list, there are now well over a dozen role-playing games available on Microsoft’s latest console that were originally developed for the Xbox 360. With this week’s update, Eidos Montreal’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut and SPIDERS’ Faery: Legends of Avalon have been added to the list, so I’ve compiled a quick selection of the RPGs and RPG hybrids that stand out:

• Borderlands
• Castle Crashers
• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
• Dark Souls
• DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION
• Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut
• Dungeon Siege III
• Fable II
• Fable III
• Faery: Legends of Avalon
• Fallout 3
• Mass Effect
• Might & Magic Clash of Heroes
• Sacred 3
• Sacred Citadel
• South Park: The Stick of Truth
• The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
• Torchlight

Hopefully, Fable: The Lost Chapters, Dragon Age: Origins, Fallout: New Vegas, The Elder Scrolls titles, and a few others get added to that list in the coming weeks and months.
