Summary
A recent report from a reputable Xbox insider suggests that one of 2023’s biggest Soulslikes,Lords of the Fallen, could be coming toXbox Game Passin the near future. If true, the addition of this relatively new AAA game to the popular subscription service would mark yet another major inclusion toXbox Game Pass, which has received consistent, quality content in recent months.
According to a report from Xbox insider eXtas1son eXputer,2023’sLords of the Fallen, the well-received Soulslike from Romanian developer Hexworks, is set to release on Xbox Game Pass later this month. Sources close to the prominent leaker reportedly told them that the game is currently scheduled to drop on Microsoft’s subscription service sometime during the final week of May. Though eXtas1s claims they did receive an exact date as to whenthe graphically-stunning Soulslikewill be added to Game Pass, they declined to share it publicly in the event that “there are last-minute plans to up the release by a day or two.”
Lords of the Fallen Would Be a Great Addition to Xbox Game Pass
This rumor comes shortly after thefinal free update forLords of the Fallenwas released back in April 2024. The update in question, titled Master of Fate, added a number of new features and fixes to the game, from quality-of-life enhancements and performance improvements to stat modifiers and questlines, among other things. With development onLords of the Fallenseemingly wrapping up, it makes sense, then, that Hexworks would like to let the fully-realized version of its game reach a wider audience by releasing it on a subscription service. If this is indeed the case, then it would certainly be a welcome surprise for many Xbox fans looking to play a new Soulslike on Xbox Game Pass.
Even if this particular rumor doesn’t turn out to be true, members of Microsoft’s popular subscription service still have several new releases to look forward to later this month. In fact, Xbox recently confirmed four games set to release onGame Pass in May 2024, including critically-acclaimed hits likeTomb Raider: Definitive Editionand day-one additions likeLittle Kitty Big City. As usual, more games will be announced forXbox Game Passin the second half of May, and hopefully,Lords of the Fallenwill be among them.
