What July 2025 new release are you most looking forward to? – Destructoid

It’s hard to believe that 2025 is halfway over, but there’s still plenty of big game releases to look forward to before the calendar flips over once more.

July 2025 is full of some big-name games, along with some promising new IPs that players are hoping will fulfill their potential and become a new smash hit. But with so many games and so little time, choices must be made as to which ones get your money and attention.

Whether you’re a sporty gamer and looking to pick up Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 (July 8) or EA Sports College Football 26 (July 10), or an FPS fan and want to dive into Destiny 2: Edge of Fate (July 15) or Killing Floor 3 (July 24), July 2025 has just about every kind of gamer covered.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Donkey Kong Bananza on July 17, or the Pacman-inspired Shadow Labryinth on July 18, so even nostalgic gamers are going to be eating well. And if you’re into some of the more cozy stuff, Tales of the Shire is dropping on July 29, the same day as Grounded 2. Basically, there’s a lot of fun games in the month to choose from.

These games are all on top of existing titles getting new updates and live service content, like season three of Marvel Rivals, season five of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and many others, so if you’re looking to avoid the rising temperatures and pump up the air conditioning while playing something new, July 2025 may be stacked.

And now, I ask you, dear reader, which of July 2025’s new games are you most looking forward to picking up?
