Xbox Game Pass is gearing up to introduce two exciting new games to its lineup this year - Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 and Lords of the Fallen. The service has been on a roll lately, with recent additions like the critically acclaimed Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on the Ultimate tier. May brings titles such as Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons ahead of the highly anticipated release of Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 by Ninja Theory on the 21st.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, developed by CI Games and launched in Summer 2021, garnered praise for its intense first-person sniper experience. Following its predecessor's shift to a mission-based structure, akin to Hitman, the game found favor with fans and critics. On the other hand, Lords of the Fallen by CI Games initially faced criticism due to bugs and lack of polish at launch. However, subsequent updates, including the final Master of Fate content patch, have improved the game significantly.
A recent report on Bankier.pl confirmed the arrival of Lords of the Fallen and Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 on Game Pass this year, following an agreement signed with Xbox on May 3. This announcement is particularly exciting for Soulslike enthusiasts awaiting a chance to delve into Lords of the Fallen. It also presents an excellent opportunity for CI Games to showcase its lesser-known Sniper franchise to a broader audience.

While the games are confirmed for a 2024 release on Xbox Game Pass, specific launch dates are yet to be disclosed in CI Games' official communication. Additionally, Xbox Game Pass' social media platforms have not acknowledged these upcoming additions. Given CI Games' recent workforce adjustments, the decision to feature two of its recent games on Game Pass reflects a strategic move to reach a wider player base without extra charges.
With the final update for Lords of the Fallen now live, CI Games is likely focusing on its next venture. Whether it involves a sequel to Lords of the Fallen, another installment in the Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts series, or a completely new project remains uncertain. In the interim, Game Pass subscribers can anticipate experiencing two captivating titles from CI Games in the near future.
