Chivalry 2, the epic medieval-themed war simulator, was added to the Xbox Game Pass catalog last week and has so far proven to be a very popular new addition for the service's subscribers. In just four days after Chivalry 2 being available on Xbox Game Pass, the game had already added tons of new players into the action, which is great news considering that it's a multiplayer-only title.
For the uninitiated, Chivalry 2 is a multiplayer hack-and-slash video game developed by Torn Banner Studios and a sequel to 2012's Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. First released in June 2021 on various platforms, Chivalry 2 supports up to 64 players in one match. There is optional crossplay support available, and those who leave it enabled would have the chance to come face-to-face with new knights brought over by Xbox Game Pass.
Via Twitter, the official account for Chivalry 2 announced yesterday that the game has seen over 500,000 new players in under a week since launching on Xbox Game Pass. While Torn Banner didn't reveal the total number of players that Chivalry 2 currently has, it did disclose how well the game was selling. In August last year, Torn Banner said that the game had sold 1 million copies. Then, within 10 days of its release on Steam in June 2022, the game generated a further 300,000 copies sold. Previously, Chivalry 2 on PC only appeared as an Epic Games Store exclusive for a year.
Chivalry 2 being added to Xbox Game Pass came perfectly timed alongside the release of its free major content update. Titled the "Reinforced Update," version 2.6 for Chivalry 2 adds a new map for Team Deathmatch and Free-For-All game modes known as the Hippodrome. It also features new customization options for the Tenosian faction, as well as a new unique weapon: Katars. While players have already had creative freedom when it comes to utilizing almost anything as a weapon in Chivalry 2, the Katars are still noteworthy, seeing that they are the first dual-wielded weapon in the game.
