Great news for fans of Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs)! The popular title Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered will not be leaving Xbox Game Pass on March 15 as originally stated. Earlier this month, Xbox shared details in the Game Pass Wave 1 announcement, revealing the upcoming games arriving on Xbox Game Pass in March 2024, as well as those scheduled to depart the service.
Initially, when the list of games leaving Xbox Game Pass in March 2024 was unveiled, three titles were earmarked for removal. Among them were Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Shredders, and the critically acclaimed JRPG Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered. While players will soon bid farewell to Hardspace: Shipbreaker and Shredders, the news regarding Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered has taken a positive turn.
In an unexpected twist, Xbox has revised its list of games leaving soon on Xbox Game Pass, indicating that Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered will continue to be accessible on the platform for an extended period. Although Xbox did not provide reasons for retaining the game, it appears that a new agreement has been reached. Originally slated for removal, the updated information confirms that the game will no longer exit the Game Pass library, clarifying that its inclusion in the Leaving Soon section was an error.
Current Titles Leaving Xbox Game Pass

The game has garnered critical acclaim for its captivating Studio Ghibli art style and engaging narrative, boasting an impressive 86 overall critic rating, making it one of the top-rated JRPGs on the entire platform.
For those who dive into Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered now that it remains on Xbox Game Pass and enjoy it, there's more good news.
