[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63912, member: 1"] SteamWorld Heist 2 is no longer confirmed for a Game Pass launch despite previous messaging from developer Thunderful. When the studio originally revealed its steampunk strategy follow-up in April of this year, it promised fans that they would see it launch on August 8, 2024, for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, and Game Pass. However, as spotted by [URL='https://xboxera.com/2024/06/26/steamworld-heist-ii-no-longer-coming-to-game-pass/'][U]XboxEra[/U][/URL], social media posts mentioning a Game Pass release have since been deleted, and trailers that included the Xbox service’s branding have seemingly been modified and reuploaded without the logo. Its inclusion can still be seen in re-uploads from third-party accounts like YouTube channel [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0196lrXfm6g']GN Game Trailers[/URL]. A representative with Fortyseven PR confirmed with XboxEra that SteamWorld Heist 2 is no longer coming to Game Pass, adding that the Xbox service's logo was mistakenly added. Thunderful and Fortyseven did not reveal how the Game Pass logo managed to worm its way into an official trailer, but in [URL='https://x.com/ethangach/status/1806050824629416183']a statement sent to Kotaku's Ethan Gach[/URL], a spokesperson further clarified that distribution plans for SteamWorld Heist 2 are still being ironed out. "We inadvertently included a Game Pass logo in our reveal trailer," the statement says. "We have not finalized our distribution plans for SteamWorld Heist 2 at this time. We'll share news about our distribution plans closer to launch." SteamWorld Heist 2 is still planned to launch for all other previously announced console and PC platforms. The sequel follows Captain Leeway and their struggle against a new menace that threatens the Great Sea. Spicing up the turn-based combat this time around is real-time naval combat, more crew customization, more story, and more steampunk weapons. Although it's looking like SteamWorld Heist 2 won’t sneak its way into Game Pass when it launches this August, the service does currently offer other SteamWorld games to enjoy. Included in the PC and console tiers today are SteamWorld Dig 2 and SteamWorld Build. Console players also have access to the original SteamWorld Dig.
