Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 may be joining the Xbox Game Pass subscription service according to insider reports. The official Xbox account posted a cryptic message hinting that “a ‘deliverance’ is coming to Game Pass,” which many interpret as a clear reference to the upcoming medieval RPG sequel. While not officially confirmed, the timing suggests an announcement could be coming soon as part of the next batch of Game Pass additions. This would mark a significant addition to the subscription service’s library.
Assassin’s Creed: Shadows has received update 1.1.8, which introduces a manual jumping function that players must enable in settings. The patch also adds limited-time parkour events, detailed statistics pages, and improved critical hit visual feedback alongside numerous bug fixes. Separately, a Circana report indicates Resident Evil 9 is currently the second most anticipated game of 2026, trailing only Grand Theft Auto VI. The report cites data from various online platforms showing over 4 million wishlist additions, with Capcom’s stock price rising 12% following the news. Battlefield 6’s second season launches today, with developers expressing concern about player retention after the game’s player count reportedly dropped significantly since launch.
