Video Games Releasing in July 2021 - Dog Days Are Coming

The northern hemisphere is starting to melt in the summer heat, but that's not due to hot video games coming. We're officially entering the cucumber season! While there aren't crazy many games launching this month, there's a few interesting premieres.

What is Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector?

The world of Warhammer 40,000 has some bad luck with video games. The owners of the franchise are handing out licenses left and right, which only results in a bag full of mediocre titles. But every now and then, we get a real gem. Is that what Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector will turn out to be? We'll find out in mid-July whether this turn-based strategy from Black Lab Games is capable of conquering the market!

Is this another average Warhammer 40,000?

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector will allow us to direct Sergeant Carleon, who belongs to the Space Marines of the Blood Angels Legion. We will move to the moon of Baal, where we will have to fight against the Tyranids. Our task will be to exterminate enemies by commanding available units. Positioning the troops and using the strong suits of individual soldiers is paramount to victory. The fate of the battles will be determined by heroes equipped with powerful abilities, which will be developed along with the progress of the story.

Our expectations

There was a running joke that goes: "A pigeon flies into Games Workshop headquarters by accident and comes out with a license for a Warhammer game." I don't mean to say that games based on this brand are now made by completely random companies, but I definitely feel saturation. Why not finally get a big studio capable of something really good, instead of repeating games that we forget before we can even remember them? Looking at gameplays from (checking the title) Battlesector, this looks like another game you'll never hear about again. It's a bit of a shame, since Warhammer 40K doesn't deserve being spread so thin.

F1 2021

Release date: July 16, 2021

INFORMATION

  1. Genre: Racing
  2. Platforms: PC, PS4, XONE, PS5, XSX
  3. Approximate Price: $60 (PC, PS4, XOne, PS5, XSX)

What is F1 2021?

The F1 series needs no introduction to fans of Formula One racing. Its latest installment, now in its twelfth year, will debut in July, once again coming from Codemasters, the racing games' legends. This year, however, the game may look a little different, as this is the first installment since the developers were taken over by Electronic Arts, who will be publishing this F1 2021.

Is this another F1 without anything new?

F1 2021 uses the official license, so we will drive realistically rendered cars. There are also official tracks, drivers, teams and trophies. The Formula 2 class returns in this part, and solutions for more arcade-inclined players have also been included. Ultimately, F1 2021 is trying to be a simulation, but with the right options enabled, you can make it more accessible to casual drivers. This year's story campaign will see us climb the ranks from Formula 2 to Formula 1.
