Late-July New Release Guide Navigator#

Late July brings a dense wave of new releases, and three key titles have officially confirmed dates with site guides already live in sync. Below, we first lay out the release timing for these games in one place, then break down each game’s gameplay and best starting class.

Late-July Release Calendar#

Note: only the first three titles in the table (Splatoon Raiders, Mistfall Hunter, The Relic: First Guardian) have officially confirmed release dates. The remaining titles have not yet had exact release dates formally announced by their publishers; to avoid misleading readers, they are marked “date TBA” for now, and their site guides remain in preparation until official word lands, with updates to follow as soon as it does.

Splatoon Raiders — Launching July 23#

Core Info#

Splatoon Raiders is Nintendo’s new third-person action shooter, carrying forward the series’ signature ink-splatting turf battles while building a tighter, more intense multiplayer rhythm for Switch 2. The site guide is live in sync, with full breakdowns covering basic turf controls, weapon pairings, advanced movement and team coordination.

Guide entry points for reference:

Mistfall Hunter — Launching July 29#

Core Info#

Mistfall Hunter is a PvPvE shooter built around looting and conflict. Players scavenge for supplies across threat-filled maps, fighting AI and human players alike while escaping alive with valuable loot. Numerical balancing and extraction mind games are the core of its appeal, and the site has put together complete class and gear strategies for the launch version.

Class Recommendations#

Starter Advice for New Players#

Before entering a map, settle your extraction route first — don’t let greed for high-value loot get you ambushed. New players should start with Aegis, using its strong survivability to learn the map’s scavenging spots and extraction zones, then gradually try classes like Ranger and Warlock that lean more on positioning. Gear ideas, weapon choices and map callouts are available on the site’s subpages.

The Relic: First Guardian — Launching July 31#

Core Info#

The Relic: First Guardian is a soulslike action RPG with relic builds at the heart of its gameplay. Beyond combat, players keep collecting and combining relics, chaining different elements together for massive damage — real mechanical depth. The site has organized class pairings and relic combos for the full system.

The Five Classes#

Elemental Reactions 101#

Elemental reaction chains are what set The Relic: First Guardian apart from traditional soulslikes. Apply one element to inflict a status on an enemy, then trigger it with a second element for damage far beyond plain swinging. New players should build a stable single-element damage loop first, then layer in multi-element cross-triggering once they’ve learned enemy attack rhythms. How to weigh your relic choices, and per-class boss-fight pacing, are covered in the site’s guides.

Other Late-July Releases Worth Watching#

The following titles have also been announced recently or are approaching announcement; some lack publisher-confirmed dates, so they’re listed with the info available and will be updated once official news arrives:
