According to reliable industry insider eXtas1s, Xbox Game Pass subscribers could soon get their hands on a beloved crime thriller remake and hotly anticipated strategy sequel. The leaker claims Mafia: Definitive Edition and Wargroove 2 will likely join the library in mid-August.
While Microsoft is keeping quiet for now, the track record of eXtas1s suggests gamers have good reason to get excited. In recent months they’ve accurately forecast several major additions before official announcements. With another leak drop expected soon from Xbox, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation.
The Definitive Edition modernizes the beloved 2002 original from 2K’s Hangar 13 studio. Transporting players back to Prohibition-era Lost Heaven, its 4K visuals and new story elements breathe fresh life into the gangster opus. As anticipation builds for rumored sequels, the service could expose new audiences to the gritty crime saga’s roots. “We want as many people as possible to experience our stories,” says 2K marketing exec Jenna Bellomo.
Chucklefish’s turn-based tactics hit Wargroove charmed Switch owners with its pixel art and creative customization. The sequel promises to expand its already robust toolkit for user-generated campaigns. Game Pass could provide an avenue to level the platform playing field. “We want players on all systems to forge their military masterpieces together,” says studio head Finn Brice.
eXtas1s has delivered industry scoops multiple times before stores made them official. Correctly unveiling additions like Modern Warfare 3 boosted their reputation. While Microsoft stays hush, the leaker has yet to steer gamers wrong. Could Mafia and Wargroove 2 be next to surprise subscribers?
Fans speculate with glee on gaming forums. “So hyped to relive Mafia1. What a classic,” writes user Greed00134. Another hopes Wargroove 2 on Game Pass brings “even more crazy multiplayer maps!” This week will determine if their dreams become reality.
