Xbox Game Pass: the sequel of a great game would arrive by surprise to the service

For some reason, Xbox consoles have been without major releases for the past few months, including several notable titles from Square Enix. According to a report, this will soon change, as a sequel to a major game is set to arrive this month on Microsoft consoles and Xbox Game Pass.

Octopath Traveler II coming soon to Xbox Game Pass

According to insider eXtas1s, Square Enix is preparing to release Octopath Traveler II on Xbox consoles. The sequel has been confirmed for months for those systems, but still does not have an exact date for its debut on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

The first installment of the saga came to Microsoft hardware and was even available on Xbox Game Pass. Because of this, everyone believed that the sequel would be on Xbox without fail; however, the game is still absent from the brand's ecosystem.

We know that the game is on its way and the recent report reveals that it will be available on Xbox Series X|S sometime this month. What's interesting is that it's also mentioned that it will be an Xbox Game Pass release.

It is important to remember that the title was announced for the popular subscription service when Xbox confirmed the sequel for its consoles. However, the company made a clarification and stated that the mention of Xbox Game Pass was a mistake.

Now, all clues indicate that Octopath Traveler II for Xbox is very close and will indeed be coming to Game Pass. It's important to mention that it's all just a rumor, so it's best to wait for the company to make announcements for this month's service.
