Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is confirmed for Game Pass after Xbox teaser

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Xbox social media posts have confirmed that Warhorse Studios' action RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is headed for Xbox Game Pass on March 3.

Xbox Game Pass revived its social media marketing campaign featuring faux leaked internal emails from "Melissa McGamepass" to tease a major addition to the service. On February 16, posts on official Xbox Game Pass socials included an image intended to resemble a leaked email from Melissa McGamepass to Xbox Game Pass Social hyped up a large release slate for the upcoming year, including more March announcements.

"If you're getting quite hungry for a fun adventure, all I can say is something big is about to be deliverance'd [sic] to Xbox Game Pass," the pseudo-email reads just before insisting it should be kept "super-duper secret."

The Xbox Game Pass social post pointed out the strange spelling of the word "delivered" as "deliveranced", tipping off commenters who quickly picked up the possibility that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 could be coming to Game Pass soon.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance — Warhorse Studios' epic action RPG about a peasant boy who becomes a knight on his quest to avenge his murdered parents — garnered quite a bit of attention when it came to Xbox Game Pass just a few short days ago. The addition of the game to the subscription service came alongside the launch of its next-gen upgrade, which significantly improved the eight-year-old RPG's visuals and performance with native support for 60 FPS and ultra-quality settings.

The much-anticipated sequel, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, was released last year and quickly earned acclaim from critics and players alike, with Windows Central's own Brendan Lowry giving the game a 5-star rating.

"I was thoroughly surprised by how perfect of a sequel it is, with Warhorse building on everything fans loved about KCD while simultaneously fixing its major story, combat, and performance issues," Lowry writes of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 in his review.

If you want to experience the full breadth of KCD protagonist Henry's story, you may want to go ahead and get a head start by playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance before its sequel lands on Game Pass. How Long to Beat reports that KCD's main story can take players 40 hours, while completionists can expect to sink about 130+ hours into the first part of this epic action RPG. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts an even longer main story, clocking in at roughly 54.5 hours, with a completionist run taking approximately 140+ hours.
