Microsoft's Games with Gold promotion ushers in three new titles in October: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Darksiders 2 for Xbox 360, and Chariot for Xbox One.

DICE's first-person shooter Bad Company 2 and Vigil Games' action-adventure Darksiders 2 are likely familiar to many Xbox owners. Chariot is a new title from Canadian developer Frima Games and part of the ID@Xbox program for independent, self-published games. It's a 2D, local co-op platformer featuring a princess and her fiancé who are transporting the corpse of her father, the king, to its final resting place.

Chariot: Available from Oct. 1-31 on Xbox One

Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Available from Oct. 1-15 on Xbox 360

Darksiders 2: Available from Oct. 16-31 on Xbox 360

Xbox Live Gold subscribers currently have access to Super Time Force on Xbox One and Halo: Reach on Xbox 360 as part of September's Games with Gold offerings.
