Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and Carmageddon Arrive on Xbox First Week of February

Xbox gamers can look forward to two new titles: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined arrives on February 4, optimized for Xbox Series X/S with Play Anywhere support. The adventure begins on the tranquil island of Estard, where the player and friends discover a mysterious sanctum. This discovery propels them into the past, where they learn that an evil force has imprisoned entire lands, setting the stage for a world-saving quest. Carmageddon aims to recapture the series' classic, chaotic spirit with fast and accessible combat racing. Embracing a roguelite structure, the game ensures the action never stops—when one vehicle is destroyed, another driver immediately takes their place. Players earn Beatcoins, redeemable on the black market for unlocking bonuses and upgrades, allowing them to customize their vehicles for maximum carnage. Both titles promise engaging experiences for Xbox players.

In Case You Missed It

In our ongoing exploration of the gaming landscape, we've been keeping tabs on several exciting developments. Ahmed Hassan's recent piece, "Dramatic Player Decline Forces Highguard to Change" (published January 31st), delves into Wildlight's response to player feedback with the introduction of a temporary 5v5 mode in Highguard, promising more action-packed battles and increased interaction despite potential performance hurdles. Meanwhile, Bruno Pferd has been monitoring big news in the Apex Legends universe – Electronic Arts is shutting down Season 30 on the original Nintendo Switch after August 4th, with players urged to use up their premium currency and migrate earned items if they want to continue playing. And finally, Marcus Thompson has spotted a freebie you won't want to miss on Steam: Kiki, a vibrant first-person platformer, is currently available for free until midnight tonight. So, dive into Ahmed's article here Dramatic Player Decline Forces Highguard to Change, learn about EA's decision and your options as an Apex Legends fan on Switch from Bruno's post EA to Shut Down One of Its Biggest Games on Nintendo Switch, and claim your free copy of Kiki on Steam before it's too late, courtesy of Marcus' article here Free Game on Steam: Just 24 Hours Left to Claim.
