April’s Games With Gold Features Two From 2012
As we bid a tearful Games with Gold goodbye to Dungeon Defenders on this last day of March, Microsoft has announced the two titles that will be stepping up in April. The good news is that both are more recent releases than we’ve seen in past months.
Starting tomorrow, you’ll be able to download Square Enix’s Hitman Absolution. The most recent installment in the long-running series gives players more flexibility than in past entries. It also includes a mission creator, so you can design your own assassination scenarios.
In the second half of the month, Tequila Works’ side-scrolling zombie game, Deadlight will rotate in. That title got mixed reviews, but we spoke favorably of it in our review.

Our Take
This is a step in the right direction for Games with Gold. Recent months have featured older titles, but bringing two from 2012 might restore some confidence in the program.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
