Starting tomorrow, Xbox players will receive a good dose of new releases, and the truth is that there are proposals for all audiences. Among narrative adventures, cooperative beat ’em ups, puzzle games, and collections of classic arcade games, it’s hard not to find something that catches your attention. And if there’s one title to highlight in particular, all eyes are on Echoes of the End, the highly anticipated action-fantasy adventure that arrives on August 12th, exclusively for Xbox Series.

This game takes us to a world inspired by Iceland, where magic, sword combat, and puzzles blend together in a third-person experience. It will be one of those releases that mark the agenda for the week, but it won’t be alone: the lineup is very varied and features releases almost every day.
