July is a little light on the big new game releases, but your co-op horror Discord gang will be feastin'

I won't lie to you, I initially looked at July's game releases and drew a blank trying to name any bigish new games I'm looking forward to. It's definitely quiet this month, but take the lull as a chance to catch up. New game releases for 2026 ramp up again in the final stretch of the year—so much so that I'm already trying to carve out vacation days in my schedule.

And this month is far from a total bust. Two big remakes, Assassin's Creed Black Flag: Resynced and Halo: Campaign Evolved, are joined by a bunch of co-op indie horror games that are right up my alley.

It's good timing: We're trying something a little new with our monthly release date calendar in July, highlighting a handful of personal picks before getting to the general highlights—so you know where this is going. I hope you love terrorizing your friends with new co-op horror finds as much as I do.
