					<description><![CDATA[February is looking just as enticing with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition, EA Sports College Footbal 26, and much more.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Microsoft has <a href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/02/17/xbox-game-pass-february-2026-wave-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revealed</a> the second wave of titles coming to Game Pass in February, but next month&#8217;s first offering is perhaps the most notable &#8211; <em>Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2</em>. It will be available on March 3rd for Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass subscribers, following <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/kingdom-come-deliverance-avatar-frontiers-of-pandora-and-more-coming-to-game-pass-in-february">the first game&#8217;s arrival on the service</a>.</p>



<p>What about the here and now? Well, today sees the arrival of <em>Aerial_Knight’s DropShot</em> and <em>Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora</em> for Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Premium subscribers can also finally go hands-on with <em>Avowed</em>, which is getting <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/avowed-is-coming-to-ps5-new-game-update-adds-enemy-modifiers" data-type="post" data-id="634542">a meaty new Anniversary Update today alongside its PS5 port</a>.</p>



<p><em>Death Howl</em>, a Souls-like deck builder, follows on February 19th for all three tiers, along with <em>EA Sports College Football 26</em> for Ultimate subscribers. However, the standout addition is undoubtedly <em>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt &#8211; Complete Edition</em> for Ultimate and Premium. Right on time for that <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/the-witcher-3s-new-dlc-is-looking-more-real-courtesy-of-insider-and-former-project-lead">rumored new DLC</a>.</p>



<p><em>TCG Card Shop Simulator</em> arrives on February 24th, though it&#8217;s still in early access, with <em>Dice A Million</em> joining on February 25th for Ultimate and PC Game Pass. <em>Towerborne&#8217;s</em> 1.0 release is also out on February 26th and will be available for all three tiers. And for those who don&#8217;t care that Henry has come to visit us on March 3rd, they can experience <em>Final Fantasy 3</em> instead.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[It is worth noting that these diverse list of games have been listed alphabetically, and Microsoft has not provided any sales figures.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a <a href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/02/11/xbox-excellence-awards-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new post on Xbox Wire</a>, Microsoft has revealed the 20 best-performing games of 2025 on Xbox platforms. While the company hasn&#8217;t provided exact sales figures, it has instead laid out the data in the form of a table with four distinct categories: Store Rating, Player Engagement, Daily Active Users, and Units Sold. It is worth noting that while it looks like the last two of these categories were topped by Embark Studios&#8217; <em>ARC Raiders</em>, Microsoft has simply listed all games in alphabetical order, and the lists below in no way indicates a ranking of any kind.</p>
<p>The post is a the latest iteration of the Xbox Excellence Awards, which was created last year to celebrate how players engaged with various releases on Xbox. The Store Rating category lists 2025 games with the best ratings on the Microsoft Store, with an added requirement of the title having at least 500 ratings. Player Engagements is about the average number of hours spent on a game by each player within the first six weeks of a game&#8217;s release. Daily Active Users celebrates titles, expansions or updates with the highest single-day active users throughout the year. And finally Units Sold is fairly self-explanatory.</p>
<p>Going down the lists, you&#8217;ll find many of the biggest releases of the year, from <em>ARC Raiders</em> and<em> Battlefield 6</em>, as well as <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/clair-obscur-expedition-33-beats-elden-ring-for-the-most-game-of-the-year-awards">award-winning RPG</a> <em>Clair Obscur: Expedition 33</em>. Indie titles have also been well-represented, with games like <em>Crime Scene Cleaner</em> and <em>Satisfactory</em> making it into the lists. There also doesn&#8217;t seem to have been a singular genre to dominate the lists, since everything from sports games like <em>EA Sports Madden NFL 26</em>, to fantasy adventure life sims like <em>Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time</em>, and even fighting games like <em>Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics</em> are well represented.</p>
<p>Curiously, none of the games was present in all four of the categories. At most, we got to see titles like <em>Borderlands 4</em> being able to make it on to three of them: Player Engagement, Daily Active Users and Units Sold. Even <em>ARC Raiders</em>, which has seen <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/arc-raiders-has-sold-14-million-units-significantly-exceeded-expectations-says-nexon">quite a bit of success</a>, is only on the Units Sold and Daily Active Users lists.</p>
<p>Microsoft has also emphasized that the lists represent a diverse collection of games developed by studios of varying sizes. All in all, it represents 48 unique developers based out of 13 countries, with 24 publishers having had a hand in their release. 19 of the games were self-published. &#8220;Taken as a whole, it’s an encapsulation of development on Xbox – we want gaming to reach you wherever you are, and for the teams making those games to find you from wherever they are,&#8221; wrote the company.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Zooming in at sales figures for just December, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 took the crown, with Battlefield 6 instead being ranked at third.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alongside having revealed that the Nintendo Switch 2 has been selling at a <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/nintendo-switch-2-beat-the-ps4-to-become-the-fastest-selling-console-in-us-history">faster pace than the PS4 did in its launch year</a>, Circana Analyst Mat Piscatella has also revealed software sales details for the year as well as the month of December. <em>Battlefield 6</em> took the crown in game sales, topping the chart for the entire year. The multiplayer shooter was followed by <em>NBA 2K26</em> in second place, <em>Borderlands 4</em> in third place, and <em>Monster Hunter Wilds</em> in fourth place. Among the older titles in the best-sellers list were <em>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6</em> at tenth place, <em>Minecraft</em> at 13th place, <em>Forza Horizon 5</em> at 16, and <em>Grand Theft Auto 5</em> at 20.</p>
<p>Taking a closer look at software sales for the month of December, Call <em>of Duty: Black Ops 7</em> took the lead, with <em>Battlefield 6</em> being ranked third. Other titles in the best-seller charts for the month are a mix of newer games like <em>Donkey Kong Bananza</em> and older titles like <em>Grand Theft Auto 5</em>, <em>Minecraft</em> and <em>Red Dead Redemption 2</em>.</p>
<p>While other console makers might have started struggling with console sales last year, Nintendo has been doing quite well with the release of the Switch 2. Piscatella had confirmed, the Switch 2 ended up being the best-selling console of the year in the US, with the country accounting for 4.4 million units. Along with this, the new console is also noted as selling faster than the original Switch from back in 2017.</p>
<p>As he noted, the Switch 2’s hardware sales single-handedly managed to offset industry-wide downward trends in console hardware sales. Sony&#8217;s PS5 ranked second for the period. The Switch 2 has also been described by Piscatella as being the &#8220;fastest selling video game console hardware platform&#8221; in history so far.</p>
<p>While things might be going well for Nintendo for the time being, research firm Niko Partners has predicted that the company <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/research-firm-global-price-hike-for-nintendo-switch-2-in-2026">will end up raising the price of the Switch 2</a> thanks to the <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/ram-costs-are-out-of-control-whats-happening">worldwide memory shortages</a> affecting manufacturing. The firm noted that, while the Switch 2 is priced competitively when compared to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo might have to bring its latest console in line with its competitors to maintain profitability.</p>
<p>In the meantime, Battlefield Studios has been working hard on creating and testing more content for the upcoming second season of <em>Battlefield 6</em>. While it hasn&#8217;t yet revealed too many details aside from its February 17 launch date, the developers provided a few hints about what kind of content we can expect when Season 2 of <em>Battlefield 6</em> is kicked off.</p>
<p>Among the new content coming to the game is a brand new map, dubbed Contagion, that will also feature <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/battlefield-6-season-2-is-bringing-back-fan-favourite-battlefield-4-map-golmud-railway">its own unique gameplay mechanics</a>. No details have been provided about these mechanics, aside from vague hints about players needing to use equipment to interact with them, a soldier <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/battlefield-6-delays-season-2-to-february-17th-for-further-polish">wearing a gas mask in the teaser trailer</a>, and the fact that the map&#8217;s name implies some sort of contagious infection will be involved.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[NBA 2K26, Monster Hunter Wilds, Borderlands 4 and Madden NFL 26 occupied the remaining top five slots according to Circana.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Circana&#8217;s video game spending report for the United States in November 2025 has been revealed, and perhaps unsurprisingly, <em>Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 </em>topped the charts. Even if Activision didn&#8217;t share sales figures, it&#8217;s expected – despite <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-7s-campaign-is-a-shocking-new-low-for-the-genre" data-type="post" data-id="631896">the awful campaign</a>, the franchise remains one of the most popular worldwide.</p>



<p>However, in a change from previous years, it&#8217;s not the best-selling premium title for 2025 (ending November 29th). That went to EA&#8217;s <em>Battlefield 6 </em>with <em>NBA 2K26</em> and <em>Monster Hunter Wilds</em> occupying the second and third spots. <em>Black Ops 7</em> is in seventh place, just ahead of, conveniently enough, <em>Black Ops 6</em>.</p>



<p>Other notable titles in the top ten include <em>Borderlands 4 </em>at fourth place, <em>EA Sports College Football 26 </em>in fifth and <em>Madden NFL 2</em>6 in sixth. <em>The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered</em> occupied ninth place, followed by<em> Ghost of Yōtei</em>.</p>



<p>Returning to November&#8217;s sales, it was a surprisingly rough month for Nintendo Switch 2 releases as <em>Kirby Air Riders</em> and <em>Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment </em>debuted in tenth and eleventh, respectively. Of course, that doesn&#8217;t include digital sales.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[EA CEO Andrew Wilson spoke about how the company wanted to do college basketball right, including all the pageantry and traditions.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the recent <a href="https://events.q4inc.com/attendee/203648138" target="_blank" rel="noopener">earnings call for EA</a>, CEO Andrew Wilson spoke about the <em>College Basketball</em> franchise, and how he believes that the company currently has the momentum it needs to work on a new entry in the series after its success with the College Football series since last year. Responding to a shareholder question, however, Wilson wouldn’t definitively confirm whether or not a new <em>College Basketball</em> game was in the works.</p>
<p>“We can’t say too much about it yet, but if I think about the opportunity, going back to where we are on <em>College Football</em>, college sport has one of the most vibrant fanbase in the world,” said Wilson (transcription via <a href="https://insider-gaming.com/ea-ceo-college-basketball-include-all-350-programs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Insider Gaming</a>). “And that trickles over to basketball certainly. We’re seeing momentum of fandom in college basketball also continue to grow. Fans, athletes, universities pour their passion into these sports. And it is that passion that makes it special, that makes the games different.”</p>
<p>Wilson spoke about the unique challenges in developing games based on college sports, since there is quite a bit of emphasis on not only accurately portraying the sport itself, but also things around it, including “the energy, pageantry, the traditions, and celebrating the unique sights and sounds and stories of every school and rivalry.” He went on to note his beliefs that EA has been doing quite well in these regards thanks to <em>College Football</em>.</p>
<p>“We feel like we deliver that incredibly well with <em>College Football</em>,” he said. “We’d love to do the same for basketball. All 350 programs, men’s and women’s teams, the iconic traditions and rivalries, and of course, March Madness.”</p>
<p>“So for us, college sports broadly is an exciting opportunity. We feel like we’ve done a really strong job, and remain committed to doing that in the context of college football. We believe that with what we’ve done with the teams, the technology, and our commitment around <em>College Football</em>, we’d have a great ability to do the same for college basketball, and as we look to try and activate against that opportunity, we’ll be able to share more.”</p>
<p>Wilson’s statements come following reports that 2K might also be looking to bring back college basketball through a <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/2k-sports-has-reportedly-contacted-universities-about-college-hoops-2k-revival-rumour">revival of sorts of its <em>College Hoops 2K</em> franchise</a>. While the company is yet to make any official announcements, reports have indicated that 2K has been in contact with sports programs across schools and universities for the revival.</p>
<p>In the meantime, EA recently released its latest college sport game – <em>EA Sports College Football 26</em>. The game, released earlier this month, is available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and comes with a host of new mechanics, especially revolving around the various systems surrounding Coaches. There have also been plenty of changes made to the overall game, including dynamic times of day, epic runouts, and the addition of more mascots.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[From a throwback to classic Ninja Gaiden to a cozy Lord of the Rings life sim and much more, July is packed with fun games.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="bigchar">W</span>ith the madness of June&#8217;s showcases behind us, it&#8217;s time to look forward to more game releases in July. The sheer variety is pretty impressive &#8211; spin-offs, spiritual successors, sports titles, challenging action RPGs, remakes, and a bizarre take on a beloved icon are all here. Without further ado, here are the 15 biggest games worth playing.</p>
<p><strong>Wuchang: Fallen Feathers</strong></p>
<p>In this age of $70 and $80 titles, <em>Wuchang: Fallen Feathers</em> from Leenzee offers a substantial action RPG experience for just $50. As Wuchang, you&#8217;ll venture through the remains of Shu in the late Ming Dynasty, desperately searching for a cure to the Feathering disease, players will battle humans and monstrous foes with 25 unique weapons and 40 spells. With a playtime of 40 to 60 hours, multiple endings, and the freedom to challenge bosses in any order, it could be the next breakout Souls-like when it launches on July 24th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.</p>
<p><strong>EA Sports College Football 26</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/EA-Sports-College-Football-26_02.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-622682" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/EA-Sports-College-Football-26_02.jpg" alt="EA Sports College Football 26_02" width="720" height="405" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/EA-Sports-College-Football-26_02.jpg 1920w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/EA-Sports-College-Football-26_02-300x169.jpg 300w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/EA-Sports-College-Football-26_02-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/EA-Sports-College-Football-26_02-15x8.jpg 15w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/EA-Sports-College-Football-26_02-768x432.jpg 768w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/EA-Sports-College-Football-26_02-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></a></p>
<p>The <em>College Football</em> franchise had its long-awaited resurgence last year, and despite some nitpicks, it was pretty good. Launching on July 10th for Xbox Series X/S and PS5, <em>College Football 26</em> addresses those issues, upping the authenticity with light shows, drone shows, and more mascots while expanding on plays and formations, adding player Archetypes, and incorporating new mechanics like Block Steering.</p>
<p><strong>Tony Hawk&#8217;s Pro Skater 3 + 4</strong></p>
<p>Just when it seemed impossible, <em>Tony Hawk&#8217;s Pro Skater 3 + 4</em> is finally happening, providing a remake compilation of the third and fourth games in the series with gorgeous new visuals and features. Granted, it doesn&#8217;t carry over everything – <em>Pro Skater 4&#8217;s</em> Career Mode isn&#8217;t open-ended, instead comprising two-minute runs. However, you can increase the timer and even engage in unique objectives via Pro Goals. Even with these caveats, it should be another blast from the past when it launches on July 11th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.</p>
<p><strong>Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream</strong></p>
<p>One of the more impressive-looking titles emerging from the Summer of Gaming, River End Games&#8217; <em>Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream</em> combines a 1900s Nordic-style city with an engrossing narrative and stealth mechanics involving multiple playable characters. Despite the small size of its team, the sheer attention to detail in the world and cutscenes is something to behold. Here&#8217;s hoping it delivers some substantial gameplay as well when it launches on July 15th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.</p>
<p><strong>Mecha BREAK</strong></p>
<p>With its progression issues mostly sorted and new maps and Strikers on the way, <em>Mecha BREAK</em> could be the de facto competitive mecha shooter when it launches on July 1st for Xbox Series X/S and PC. Between the unique abilities of each Striker, the stunning aesthetics, and the range of modes – from 5v5 objective-based play to the extraction shooter chaos of MashMak – there&#8217;s something for almost every mecha fan.</p>
<p><strong>Donkey Kong Bananza</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Donkey-Kong-Bananza_04-scaled.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-622406" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Donkey-Kong-Bananza_04-scaled.jpg" alt="Donkey Kong Bananza_04" width="720" height="405" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Donkey-Kong-Bananza_04-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Donkey-Kong-Bananza_04-300x169.jpg 300w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Donkey-Kong-Bananza_04-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Donkey-Kong-Bananza_04-15x8.jpg 15w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Donkey-Kong-Bananza_04-768x432.jpg 768w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Donkey-Kong-Bananza_04-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Donkey-Kong-Bananza_04-2048x1152.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></a></p>
<p>Donkey Kong and a younger Pauline team up on an epic new adventure that involves extensive environmental destruction, banana collecting, and thwarting the evil Void Company. <em>Bananza&#8217;s</em> platforming seemingly channels Bowser&#8217;s Fury with its mix of platforming and exploration, but Donkey Kong carves out his own niche – quite literally since he can wreck just about everything. Those chunks can then function as weapons, traversal tools, and much more. With optional challenge ruins, a variety of abilities and outfits, and Bananza Powers for even more mayhem, <em>Donkey Kong Bananza</em> should be everything we need in a Nintendo platformer when it launches on July 17th for the Switch 2.</p>
<p><strong>Shadow Labyrinth</strong></p>
<p>If you thought <em>Bomberman</em> as a gritty post-apocalyptic action title was concerning, say hello to <em>Pac-Man</em>, the all-powerful devouring entity in Bandai Namco&#8217;s <em>Shadow Labyrinth</em>. You primarily control Swordsman No. 8, venturing through an unknown planet&#8217;s mazes aided by Puck. Defeating threats allows for the latter to devour them, and you can even fuse for traversing obstacles or even transforming into a powerful mech for more damage. As unorthodox as it seems, <em>Shadow Labyrinth</em> may have some meat to its gameplay when it launches on July 18th for Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.</p>
<p><strong>Killing Floor 3</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Killing-Floor-3.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-610455" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Killing-Floor-3.jpg" alt="Killing Floor 3" width="720" height="405" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Killing-Floor-3.jpg 1920w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Killing-Floor-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Killing-Floor-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Killing-Floor-3-15x8.jpg 15w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Killing-Floor-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Killing-Floor-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></a></p>
<p>After a sudden delay, Tripwire&#8217;s <em>Killing Floor 3</em> is now launching July 24th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. The futuristic setting and premise, where players control the rebel group Nightfall, battling the Zeds manufactured by the megacorp, Horizine, with extensive amounts of gore, is still present. However, it enhanced the overall look and feel of its maps, making them grittier and darker in the process while improving the HUD, enemy Zed AI and performance. So far, so good, and if it delivers on its predecessor&#8217;s high-octane action, it may be another incredible time.</p>
<p><strong>Super Mario Party Jamboree: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV</strong></p>
<p>Nintendo&#8217;s latest “Hear me out” proposition for the Switch 2 is an enhanced version of the Switch 1&#8217;s <em>Super Mario Party Jamboree</em>. It&#8217;s out on July 24th for $79.99 and offers improved visuals and performance, new mini-games, Frenzy Rules for faster games and support for the Joy-Con 2&#8217;s mouse controls. There&#8217;s also Jamboree TV, which requires the Switch 2&#8217;s camera, as a new means to experience the game. Whether it&#8217;s worth the full price is subjective but if you own the current game and don&#8217;t mind spending $20 for the Upgrade Pack, it may be worth checking out.</p>
<p><strong>Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game</strong></p>
<p>With so many titles in <em>The Lord of the Rings</em> series involving war scenarios and brutal combat, it&#8217;s nice to play a life sim that embraces the simpler things. <em>Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of The Rings Game</em> purports to fulfil that fantasy, as you control a Hobbit in the Shire, mingling with others, tending to your garden, cooking meals and hosting parties. It&#8217;s available on July 29th for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.</p>
<p><strong>Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound</strong></p>
<p>A throwback to the classic<em> Ninja Gaiden</em> side-scrollers, <em>Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound</em> proved incredibly impressive in its recent demo. Alternating between Kenji Mozu and the Black Spider Clan&#8217;s Kumori, players engage in a punishing action platforming adventure, continuously chaining powerful strikes to take out enemies. Swift, savage and sleek, <em>Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound</em> launches on July 31st for Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.</p>
<p><strong>RoboCop: Rogue City &#8211; Unfinished Business</strong></p>

<p>If Teyon&#8217;s base game resonated with you in an old-school first-person shooter sense, then good news as <em>Unfinished Business</em> offers more of the same. As a standalone expansion, it features new abilities and weapons alongside a new range of mercenary enemies and challenges as Murphy ascends the OmniTower. Even more notable are the flashbacks to his pre-RoboCop life, which brings some very human vulnerabilities to the mix. <em>RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business</em> launches on July 17th for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.</p>
<p><strong>Ready or Not</strong></p>
<p>With the <em>SWAT</em> franchise well and truly buried, <em>Ready or Not</em> could serve as a worthy substitute for those who want methodical, tactical shooting. Between managing the status of your units to enforcing real-world tactics, it promises realistic combat scenarios where planning and execution are paramount. Of course, you can also engage in five-player co-op and watch the chaos unfold. <em>Ready or Not</em> is already available on PC and will be launching on July 15th for Xbox Series X/S and PS5.</p>
<p><strong>Total Chaos</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Total-Chaos.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-622876" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Total-Chaos.jpg" alt="Total Chaos" width="720" height="405" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Total-Chaos.jpg 1920w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Total-Chaos-300x169.jpg 300w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Total-Chaos-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Total-Chaos-15x8.jpg 15w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Total-Chaos-768x432.jpg 768w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Total-Chaos-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></a></p>
<p>A new psychological horror title with an excessively dark color palette wouldn&#8217;t ordinarily attract much attention, but <em>Total Chaos</em> is from the creator of the stellar <em>Turbo Overkill</em>. Venturing through an unforgiving world, scavenging materials to make weapons, and battling monstrosities looks intriguing – like a first-person version of<em> Darkwood.</em> PC players can experience it on July 24th, but there&#8217;s a free demo available to try now.</p>
<p><strong>Ratatan</strong></p>
<p>If the arrival of <em>Patapon 1 + 2 Replay</em> wasn&#8217;t enough, rhythm game fans can look forward to its spiritual successor on July 24th for PC via Steam Early Access. The recent free demo certainly showcased room for improvement, but the appeal of rogue-like rhythm combat with co-op support and more than 100 characters, combined with the stellar soundtrack and gorgeous visuals, looks too good to resist.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[The upcoming College Football 26 will build on top of the foundations that were first laid down in the Dynasty mode of the previous title.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leading up to the July 10 release date for <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/ea-sports-college-football-26-adds-dynamic-times-of-day-epic-runouts-and-more-mascots"><em>EA Sports College Football 26</em></a>, the company has revealed more details about the upcoming American football game. In a <a href="https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-college-football/college-football-26/news/cfb26-campus-huddle-dynasty-deep-dive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new post</a> on the official website, <em>College Football 26</em>’s Dynasty and Team Builder modes have gotten a deep dive, explaining some of their new features.</p>
<p>The Dynasty mode returns after being a fan favourite from the previous iteration of College Football, and according to producer Chad Walker and prinipal game designer Ben Haumiller, the mode was built with three core pillars in mind – Build Your Coach, Build Your Program, and Deliver the World of College Footbal.</p>
<p>The two explain that Dynasty mode in <em>College Football 26</em> represents “year 2 of that vision”, with a focus on expanding on the foundations that were first laid down with College Football 25. This means that just about every aspect of the mode, from creating your coach, the RPG-styled progression of your coach, to coach archetypes have all seen quite a few expansions.</p>
<p>For example, coaches will need to meet minimum level requirements in order to access the three base archetypes of Recruiter, Motivator, and Tactician. Rather than allowing players to freely switch their coach archetype, players will now instead have a coach that has grown in a more organic manner.</p>
<p>The Coach Carousel has also seen some improvements, with players getting new notifications about job offers getting accepted or declined, as well as players getting more control over the hiring and retention process. Top-tier coaches now also get better and more consistent job opportunities.</p>
<p>Other aspects, like how recruiting new players, have also seen quite a few changes, including the evolving expectations of every player in your team, as well as players in other teams that you might be hoping to recruit.</p>
<p>“We saw this most recently with Tennessee’s quarterback, who, as a freshman, led the team to the College Football Playoff in a breakout season,” explained the company. “As he grew into a bigger name in the sport, so did his expectations — particularly around his Brand dealbreaker, which increased significantly the following year.”</p>
<p>When it comes to player progression, <em>College Football 26</em> features quite a few details when it comes to how they improve. The game features a skill groups that can level from 10 to 20 over the course of games played. This, according to the company, leads to more gradual and natural-feeling progression.</p>
<p>Through this system, <em>College Football 26</em>’s athletes can grow over the course of not only games, but also through rigorous training regimens to help develop their various traits. There will also be more direct control over player development available, where skill points can be spent on specific traits to level them up.</p>
<p>Details about these, alongside new features like player archetypes and positions, can be checked out in more detail through the deep dive offered by EA Sports. In the meantime, <em>College Football 26</em> is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The game got its <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/ea-sports-college-football-26-gets-debut-trailer-more-details-revealed">debut trailer back in May</a> which gave us a look at some of its new features, including upgrades to the Wear and Tear system, as well as some of the more than 2,800 new plays and unique schemes.</p>
<p><em>College Football 26</em> is available for pre-order on its own, as well as through a bundle alongside <em>Madden NFL 26</em>, which is out on August 14.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>EA Sports has released the first trailer for its upcoming college football game, <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/ea-sports-college-football-26-trailer-debuts-on-may-29th-cover-stars-revealed"><em>EA Sports College Football 26</em></a>. Alongside releasing the trailer, EA Sports has also <a href="https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-college-football/college-football-26/news/welcome-to-college-football-26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed new details</a> about the title.

<p>As for gameplay, EA Sports has revealed that <em>EA Sports College Football 26</em> will include new features like Dynamic Substitutions for fatigue management, upgrades to the Wear and Tear system, and an overhaul to the Archetype system so that more unique skill sets can be shown off in the game.

<p>Enhancements made to the Wear and Tear system revolve around being more realistic, while also giving players more customisation options that can better fit any given play style.</p>
<p>The core gameplay is also being improved, including the ability to make use of skills between tackles. The Physics Based Tackling System is also seeing some upgrades with new types of tackles as well as enhancements to the hit stick. Players will generally feel more in control of the game, and there will also be a new Custom Zones feature that will provide more options for coverage when it comes to scrimmage.</p>
<p><em>EA Sports College Football 26</em> will also feature enhanced Stadium Pulse effects, including new HUD visuals, intense camera shake, and clock distortion that the studio hopes will help players feel like they’re right in the field alongside the players, feeling the same high-pressure environments as their teams.</p>
<p>“We want you to immerse yourself in unforgettable game day atmospheres with more electrifying sights, sounds, and traditions than ever before,” wrote the company. “Feel the energy of new situations and stadium-specific music, fight songs, and dynamic commentary.”</p>

Notably, the Dynasty game mode will also include cross-play between the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game, with up to 32 players being allowed in an Online Dynasty. Players will need a valid EA account to make use of cross-platform multiplayer, however.</p>
<p>As for Road to Glory, players will be able to choose from 10 new archetypes as they start their journey as part of the Recruiting Class of 2025. Players will get to make plenty of decisions throughout the game mode as they build up their highlight tape to earn an offer from their dream school.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Both franchises will skip the PS4 and Xbox One for the first time, though Nintendo Switch 2 releases remain up in the air.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>EA has announced its 2026 line-up of American football games, <a href="https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-college-football/college-football-26/news/college-football-26-pre-order-details" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>EA Sports College Football 26 </em></a>and<a href="https://www.ea.com/games/madden-nfl/madden-nfl-26/news/gridiron-notes-madden-26-pre-order-details" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em> Madden NFL 26</em></a>, will be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. <em>Madden NFL 26</em> will also launch for PC through Steam, Epic Games Store and the EA app. This will be the first year where both games skip launching for Xbox One and PS4.</p>
<p><em>EA Sports College Football 26</em> is slated for release on July 10, while <em>Madden NFL 26</em> is set for a slightly later release on August 14. Both titles also have Deluxe Edition releases for pre-order, granting 3 days of advanced access.</p>
<p>The release dates for <em>Madden NFL 26</em> and <em>EA Sports College Football 26</em> were announced with a new trailer that you can check out below. Along with the release dates, the trailer also gave us brief glimpses of what the titles will look like in terms of photorealism on the field and a behind-the-scenes look at its various game modes.</p>
<p>Fans that pre-order <em>Madden NFL 26</em>&#8216;s Deluxe Edition will get 4,600 Madden Points, a Season 1 Elite Player item, Cover Athlete Elite Player item, Superstar Legendary XP Boost, Franchise Coach ability points, and Player card exclusive item, alongside the three days of early access before its August 14 release.</p>
<p>Getting the Deluxe Edition for <em>EA Sports College Football 26</em>, on the other hand, will get you 4,600 College Football Points, Top Prospect Ultimate Team Pack, All Hands Ultimate Team Pack, Dynasty Coach Points, and Road to Glory Skill Points, alongside the three days of early access before its July 10 release.</p>
<p>Along with the Deluxe Edition, pre-orders for the standard editions of both titles are also available. Priced at $69.99 each, pre-ordering the games also comes with bonuses. <em>Madden NFL 26</em> will reward pre-orders with Cover Athlete Elite MUT Player Item, Superstar Legendary XP Boost, and Franchise Coach Ability Points.</p>
<p>Pre-ordering the standard edition of <em>EA Sports College Football 26</em> will reward players with the CUT All Hands Pack, Dynasty Coach Points, and Road to Glory Skill Points.</p>
<p>Both games are also available in <a href="https://www.ea.com/games/bundles/mvp-bundle/buy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the MVP Bundle</a>. Through this, players will get access to both games and all of the Deluxe Edition goodies, including early access. The MVP Bundle is available digitally for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at $149.99. Players with an EA Play subscription can grab the bundle at a 10 percent discount, bringing its price down to $134.99.</p>
<p>Because <em>EA Sports College Football 26</em> isn&#8217;t coming to PC, the MVP Bundle is exclusive to the console releases of both games.</p>
<p>While <em>Madden NFL</em> has been a long-running franchise for EA, <em>College Football</em> was long dormant, only returning with last year&#8217;s <em>EA Sports College Football 25</em>. The game was an incredibly successful one, getting <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/ea-sports-college-football-25-had-2-8-million-players-before-worldwide-launch">more than 2.8 million players before its worldwide launch alone</a> thanks to early access granted by the Deluxe Edition. Eventually, reports from back in December revealed that it had become the <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/ea-sports-college-football-25-becomes-best-selling-sports-game-of-all-time-in-the-us">all-time best-selling sports game in US history</a>.</p>
