Previously released as a PlayStation 5 exclusive straight into Sony’s PS Plus service earlier this year, Oddworld: Soulstorm finally gets the physical release it deserves in July. Now players with a PS4 can play, too. This classic-style 2.5D platformer picks up directly where 2014’s Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty left off, following Abe’s exploits to save his fellow Mudokons from being turned into the titular Soulstorm drink. You’ll be challenged to dodge obstacles, instruct comrades and think fast on your feet when Oddworld: Soulstorm hits PS4 and PS5 on July 6th.

Yes, we know 2021 has already seen the launch of one Monster Hunter game in the wildly successful Rise, Capcom is also gifting series fans to a sequel to the underappreciated spin-off game Monster Hunter: Stories. Wings of Ruin may be more cartoony than the mainline games, but it maintains the familiar charm thanks to amazing creature designs and a colourful story. The big difference here is that all the action plays out in turn-based fashion a la Pokémon, making for a more palatable form of Monster Hunter for both younger and veteran players. It releases exclusively on Switch this July 9th

Coinciding with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD on Nintendo Switch is this limited-edition pair of Joy-Con. Each one is coated in a royal blue with red and golden accents sprawled around the front and back. You may be able to play this adventure with button controls for the first time, but players who want to embrace the Skyward Sword’s motion controls can do so in style with these wrapped around their wrist. Become the hero of time using this Joy-Con pair on July 16th.
The last major game release of July is a charming JRPG called Cris Tales releasing on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Letting you experience the past and present of the genre simultaneously in one package, players who pick this up will experience branching story paths that feed into a wider storyline set in a fantastical future kingdom. Your choices in this world will also have far-reaching consequences on party members and the direction the adventure takes. It’s all worth contemplating, though, in the effort to stop the evil Time Empress. Cris Tales launches on July 20th.
