July’s big-name releases are spread thinly, with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD and F1 2021 Deluxe Edition due next week and then a lull until the likes of Cris Tales, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Samurai Warriors 5 arrive at the end of the month.
This week is quite Switch centric – Nintendo’s platform gains Capcom’s swish RPG spin-off Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, plus belated conversions of the JRPG Ys IX: Monstrum Nox and SUDA51’s crime noir tale The Silver Case 2425.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – a former GOTY for many – receives a next-gen spruce up, arriving as a PS Plus freebie on PS5. Switch owners aren’t being left out either – a cloud version is due on the eShop at the end of the week.
Watch Dogs: Legion gains its new Bloodline DLC, meanwhile. The trailer’s below.
Then there’s the online stunt racer Crash Drive 3, the whimsical photography adventure Beasts of Maravilla Island, a PSVR iteration of Sniper Elite, and Indigo 7: Quest for Love – a colourful puzzle game for up to four players. “Wear your swimsuit, dust off your beach tennis rackets, and put batteries in your old radio to enjoy this cool puzzle game,†reads the blurb.
