July’s release schedule includes a remake of a fan favourite Assassin’s Creed, a couple of new Nintendo exclusives, and the debut of Halo on PlayStation 5.
Believe it or not, we’re halfway through 2026 now, although in video game terms that’s not so exciting, because it also means we’re in the middle of the usual summer games drought.
June might have been filled with multiple gaming showcases, and saw the opening of GTA 6 pre-orders, but there weren’t many big name game releases, and it’s not much different in July.
Even so, there are still some intriguing new video games worth saving your money and time for, including two new Nintendo titles, the long awaited remake of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, and a PlayStation 5 release that would’ve seemed completely impossible a decade or so ago.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo not only announced a new Xenoblade game during its June Direct but also Switch 2 upgrades for all three numbered Xenoblade Chronicles games, which not only bump up the performance but add brand new content to boot.
The upgrade for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is already out, with Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s upgrade scheduled to arrive right at the end of the month.
Aside from 4K resolution support and an improved frame rate of 60fps, the Switch 2 version adds a new battle mode where you can take direct control of your Blades, a new sidequest, and new costumes for Pyra and Mythra.
In case you’re wondering, the original game’s DLC expansion, Torna – The Golden Country, will benefit from the performance upgrade too and, so long as you already own it on Switch 1, is included with the Switch 2 upgrade pack, which costs £7.99.
