New Game Releases: July 2-8, 2026
Vampires, Valkyries, and Vane

Rob’s pick: One of the things I loved about the original Granblue Fantasy: Relink was how it managed to turn the franchise’s mobile-RPG systems into something that felt fast, fun, and satisfying over the long haul. Endless Ragnarok doubles down on that philosophy, adding in summonable Primals, a roguelite-flavored Conflux mode, new Master Traits, additional playable characters, and additional exposition. Rather than feeling like a typical expansion, Cygames seems intent on making this the definitive version of Relink, with plenty of quality-of-life improvements and progression changes.
The biggest question is whether the new systems can avoid overwhelming players who appreciated Relink‘s breezy pace. Summons, expanded progression trees, and dozens of additional quests all sound exciting, but they also risk pushing Relink toward feature-bloat. Fortunately, Cygames appears aware of that balancing act, streamlining the original campaign while making the expansion available as an affordable upgrade for existing owners instead of forcing everyone to buy the game again. If the final release delivers on the ambition shown during Summer Game Fest, Endless Ragnarok could be the rare expansions that elevates an already solid action RPG rather than simply giving fans more of the same. Like Ryan, I’m also a fan of digging, so I’ll give Cosmodrill a try.

Ryan’s pick: I don’t know what it is, but I’ve always been drawn to games with digging. I think it has to do with the freedom of exploration mixed with the ability to keep track of where you’ve already been and where you haven’t. Cosmodrill gets the pick this week for having digging as a core mechanic but also incorporating the use of the drill to attack. The fact that you also are able to do some world exploration outside of just digging will hopefully keep things interesting, so I think this one would be a great one to give a try as the demo is on Steam.
There was a phase where I spent a lot of time getting into Tower of Fantasy due to the Neon Genesis Evangelion collaboration. I ended up staying a bit longer after that for some of the upcoming banners, but in general it was tough to compare that game to a more polished action RPG like Genshin Impact. There were a lot of small odd design quirks and or things that weren’t quite right with the UX as I was playing on PS5, but overall, it was entertaining and got me to play daily. NTE: Neverness to Everness gets a quick mention as it is developed by the same team as Tower of Fantasy. Visually the game looks pretty impressive, and being a gacha game it should be a fairly easy one to get into if you are familiar with the genre. I’m curious to see if it will be able to hold up to some other recent action-RPG gachas like Arknights: Endfield which is my recent favorite.

Matt S’ pick (editor, DigitallyDownloaded): Rhythm Paradise/Heaven has long been a favourite of mine. Not only are the minigames in it intensely cute and charming, but the game really does act as a rhythm tester and trainer – something that’s not as common in the genre as you might expect. The fact that you have to rely on timing and audio cues, rather than the visual icons of most rhythm games, gives this series its distinct flavour. And with this newest entry featuring 80 minigames, 30 multiplayer, and a full on RPG mode, it’s the biggest and best of the series to date.
I’m also quite interested in Moonlight Peaks which looks like… Story of Seasons or Harvest Moon, but with vampires? I’m surprised that that combination took this long to happen, frankly. I take it in this case you’ll want to make sure you’re done with farming and tucked in to bed (coffin?) by the time dawn breaks each day…
