Press release:
Epsom, United Kingdom, April 6th.
The Epsom-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Slitherine and indie games developer Flashback Games, today announced with great delight and excitement that their WWII strategy game “Panzer Corps 2” is coming to Xbox Game Pass PC on April 12th, 2022.

“Panzer Corps 2” will be arriving as one of the first deep strategy games for PC gamers on Game Pass to date, joining Slitherine’s recent Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector on the service.

Originally released in March 2020, Panzer Corps 2 follows as a spiritual successor to 1994’s Panzer General – a true pioneer in the hex based WW2 genre. Built on Unreal Engine 4, Panzer Corps 2 sees players enter battles through a variety of single player and multiplayer modes. The game features a staggering 1,000 unit types that can be commanded on the battlefield, and its single player campaign contains more than 60 unique scenarios.

As of present, the Panzer Corps franchise has sold one and a half million copies on PC, and it shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. Slitherine has published five DLCs for Panzer Corps 2 following its launch (Axis Operations 1936, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942), and a new Pacific DLC is set to arrive in early 2022. This upcoming DLC will be available on day one for owners of the Game Pass version, but a separate purchase will be required.

Panzer Corps 2 received a glowing response from fans at launch, and it has maintained a ‘Very Positive’ response on Steam with 2,100+ reviews. Slitherine is thrilled to now be able to bring the Panzer Corps series to a whole new audience of players on Xbox Game Pass PC.
