What Massive Chalice is
Massive Chalice is an adventure game developed by Double Fine Productions and released in 2015. It is available on Xbox One, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Buddha.
The premise, in the publisher's words
An immortal ruler is charged with defending their kingdom against the Cadence, a monstrous invading force whose very touch is lethal and whose passage leaves magical corruption behind. Guided by the sentient artifact known as the Massive Chalice, the ruler learns the Chalice needs three centuries to gather the power required to cleanse the land, and cannot leave the palace to fight. Instead they must dispatch attuned heroes into battle and, across the long generations, arrange marriages and bloodlines so that new champions are born to carry on the war until the Chalice is ready.
How it plays
Its themes are action, fantasy and historical. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 28 achievements to unlock.

What it launched against
Massive Chalice launched on 1 June 2015, within three weeks of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Splatoon, Heroes of the Storm and Invisible, Inc.. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the Xbox One's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Splatoon, Heroes of the Storm, Invisible, Inc..
