Upcoming Xbox Releases: New Games for July 7-11

Hey there! So, you know how you sometimes end up in a web rabbit hole about Xbox games? No? Just me? Okay, well, let’s dive into some chaos anyway—like a messy room that you kinda love, ya know?

First up—EA SPORTS™ College Football 26 Deluxe Edition. It’s like having a touchdown without even trying. Early bird special kicks off July 7! Imagine waking up one day, and there it is, ready for a world launch on July 10. Xbox Series X|S, baby! Glory goes wherever you take it—from high school legend to Heisman hero—or, heck, maybe as a coach. Like, “what color cleats should match my mood today?” Decisions, decisions…

And wait, Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4! What? In a world filled with digital magic, here’s a double dose of nostalgia you didn’t know you needed. Activision’s behind it, meaning, trust, it’s packed with feels. Also, there’s something called “Xbox Play Anywhere.” Like, maybe if I ask my dog, she’d know what that even means? $69.99 hits differently when it’s for your childhood memories.

Missile Command Delta arrives on July 8 and, well, it’s Atari revamping an oldie. Smart Delivery makes sure you get all the upgrades? I tried explaining this to my cousin, and she just nodded slowly, as if that would make her understand faster.

Somber Echoes pops onto the scene July 8! I heard it’s a myth-inspired Metroidvania. Ancient secrets and space vessels with more upgrades than my old phone ever got. Imagine unlocking a hidden path, like finding a leftover chocolate bar in your coat pocket.

The Last Camp—now here’s a title that screams “adventure,” launching July 8. It’s all doomsdays and dual-stick shooting. Is it wrong I just pictured myself lounging with a milkshake while stepping up my game skills? Note to self: check if NiuGamer inserts a virtual milkshake stand somewhere.

What’s next—oh yeah! Minami Lane on July 9. Building streets, making folks happy, and yep, there are tanukis! Because more games need raccoons in funny suits, right? This cozy game sounds like it’s giving Stardew Valley a run for its bells (or onions, or whatever).

And speaking of raccoons… Rogue Raccoon, arriving July 9! Sneaky, tricky, and super fluffy, it’s all about museum heists. I mean, for food. But don’t blame the raccoon, okay? They’re just trying to keep things fun and chaotic.

Holdfast: Nations At War. July 9. Think Napoleon meets WW1 and has a dance-off. Sorta. Big battles with 150 players… huge crowds have always scared me, but maybe pixels are easier to handle?

Ever dreamed of stormy knights in side-scrolling form? Tiny Pixels Vol. 2 brings just that on July 9, with castles needing to be saved from medieval mischief. That retro soundtrack though!

Moving onto Islands—and no, not the tropical kind. Islanders: New Shores. July 10. Minimalist creativity with max effect. It’s like they want you to chill while totally plotting your urban empire.

Feeling like living multiple bad lives in BAD END THEATER? July 10. It’s real, and you can toggle story paths, making each decision super dramatic. Like, “should I have pasta or tacos for dinner?” kind of dramatic.

Best Served Cold is also July 10, and it’s all speakeasies and cocktail shenanigans—just don’t get distracted by some criminal mixing a Martini on the sly.

Slide into choice adventures in Choice of Life: Wild Islands on July 10. Your mission: survive the wreck, find coconuts, avoid existential dread. Easy.

Spooky vibes alert: Bendy and the Dark Revival drops July 11, and I’m already hiding under the couch. That studio has “haunt my dreams” written all over it.

Next stop, Only Up To Space, July 11. Climb without falling—that’s advice for both this game and life, really. Also, who doesn’t love a space-themed cliffhanger?

Aquapark io zips past on July 11, with slippery chutes and multiplayer mayhem. Don’t have a swimsuit handy? Just pretend those PJs are waterproof.

If canine companions are your thing, July 11 brings you into the bizarre world of Canine. Save Tomy the pupper amidst 32-bit chaos.

July 11 also drops Griffin—granddaughter hops into a tank to rescue the kidnapped inventor. Strategy, tanks, and… grandparents? Sounds like a family reunion.

Island Trouble, July 11. Survive, discover, and try not to step on the local crab’s toes. Build and escape, because islands never felt so cagey.

And there we are—games galore. Whether they’re breaking norms or just creating new chaos, dive in and see which ones echo with your inner child. Or your inner raccoon, because, well, why not?
