The game also includes a multiplayer mode called ScareScraper for up to four players.

Next, we have Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail expansion, which releases on July 2 for PlayStation 4/5 and Nintendo Switch. This expansion introduces two new playable classes, Pictomancer and Viper, as well as a new storyline and level cap increase to 100.

Another notable release is Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, which comes out on July 18 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. This Souls-lite game takes inspiration from Dark Souls and similar titles while offering a unique setting inspired by the land and animals of New Zealand/Aotearoa.

July also sees the release of Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition on July 18 for Nintendo Switch. This collection includes specific game-related goals, competitive tournaments, and even comes with a physical edition that includes art cards, pins, and a gold replica cartridge.

Lastly, we have Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess from Capcom. This action-strategy game takes inspiration from Japanese folklore and tradition while offering players unique tower defense mechanics.

These are just a few of the many exciting games set to release in July 2024. Whether you're into RPGs, strategy games, or action titles, there's something for everyone this summer.

    The author uses an informal fallacy of appeal to pity when stating 'It's not because the games aren't exciting or worth playing, but rather because we just endured an onslaught of exciting announcements-games out in the distant future that we’re waiting to play.' This statement is intended to elicit sympathy from the reader and create a sense of shared hardship. However, it does not affect the validity of any assertions made in the article.
