Upcoming Xbox Releases: New Games for July 7-11

Sure thing, let’s get into this week’s Xbox lineup—got a bunch of games dropping, and there’s really something for everyone. Buckle up, this might get a bit bumpy as I ramble through the chaos, okay?

First up, EA SPORTS™ College Football 26 Deluxe Edition, right? Early Access starting July 7 and then it officially hits on July 10. Nothing screams glory like college football—136 FBS schools, 10,000 athletes, it’s crazy! And those 300 coaches? I can’t even keep track of my grocery list, let alone strategize with that many choices. Oh, and if you’re into early access perks, they’ve got you covered.

Now, Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4 Digital Deluxe Edition—Activision coming in hot! July 9 is the magic date. Slide around and play anywhere, literally. When was the last time you picked up a real skateboard though? Thoughts running in parallel here.

Missile Command Delta brings the classic Atari chaos on July 8. High stakes, missiles everywhere, I mean strategy and pressure go hand in hand. Not to mention, Mighty Yell and 13AM Games rebooted this to perfection.

And who’s ready to jump into Somber Echoes on July 8? Think Metroidvania on a spooky space vessel. Acrobatic combat, secrets lurking behind every corner—I’m already spooked, yet intrigued.

Next, The Last Camp invites apocalypse fans for a spin. July 8, sharpen those dual-stick shooter skills! Crafting, survival, and, oh yeah, rich gaming world—this sounds intense.

Sliding into Minami Lane, launching July 9. Cozy management sim with tanukis and cats (my heart just melted). Isn’t it always just a rush seeing these tiny digital villagers live their quaint little lives?

Alright, not to overlook the Rebel Raccoon launch on July 9, steal food, ditch the museum guards—it’s a riot! They say, blame not the trickster. It’s like a day in a renegade wildlife documentary.

Then there’s Holdfast: Nations At War on July 9 too—Napoleonic glory and WW1 scenes all in one. With 150 players on a server, I’d probably just charge into battle without knowing what’s happening. An army of chaos? Count me in.

July 9 also sees Tiny Pixels Vol. 2: Stormy Knights dropping—castle invasions in pixel art. Save the damsels, defeat the rogues—all while jamming to retro tunes.

Greedland shows up on July 10, a mutant shootout like no other. 20,000 enemies per game—mind-blowing, right? And endless modes? I’ve got a love-hate relationship with endless modes—seems I love them, but my gaming skills… not so much.

ISLANDERS: New Shores on July 10—you ever just need a zen zone? Simple city-building with a pinch of strategy. Newcomers, veterans, let’s just chill, blast some lo-fi beats, and build away.

Ah, BAD END THEATER launching July 10, where every choice assures doom—a twisting fate in a theatrical setting. Honestly, can’t seem to get enough of games that let you mess around with choices just to watch it all go south. Weird habit, I know.

Best Served Cold (July 10) places you in a speakeasy mystery, mixing cocktails and eyeing criminals. A real bartender’s nightmare—or dream? Depends, right? Prohibition theme adds just the right amount of nostalgia and nerves.

Then hold on for Choice of Life: Wild Islands on July 10. Survive a shipwreck, rock those cards in a visual novel style. Decisions, choices, which way do we go?

Bendy and the Dark Revival lands on July 11, the sequel horror fans wanted. Wander through an animation studio gone mad—ink monsters, puzzles, and horror galore. Every corridor’s a gamble!

Only Up To Space hits July 11 as well. It’s you against vertical insanity—just an astronaut trying to make their way home. Those ascending platforms test patience like no other.

Aquapark IO swoops in on July 11. Water slides from the sky—sounds like summer, doesn’t it? Splash your way through multiplayer chaos. It’s crazy fun, I swear!

Don’t forget the terror of Canine, launching July 11. A first-person retro-style horror where you’re saving your pup. 32-bit visuals mixed with chills? Pure nostalgia!

Griffin on July 11 gets us into a battle tank save-the-designer story. It’s wild with family ties on a rescue mission. Feel that intensity brewing?

Island Trouble shows up on July 11 too. I’ve got an absolute soft spot for survival sims—gather, build, and escape. Simple survival reflexes and the island mystery? Sign me up.

Whew! That’s a week’s haul. My brain’s buzzing just thinking about all the virtual journeys to embark upon. Which one’s grabbing your attention (and controller) first?
