New Games of the Week – The Gamesplanet Highlights

DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations

HELL FREEZES OVER in DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations, an all-new campaign expansion that unleashes a brutal new chapter of the Slayer’s...

Genre: First-person shooter (expansion) | Release: July 7, 2026
One year after the release of the main game, id Software and Bethesda deliver DOOM: The Dark Ages Revelations, the first major campaign expansion for the acclaimed shooter DOOM: The Dark Ages. Wounded and betrayed, the Slayer (that’s you) plunges into a frozen realm of hell, where you’re confronted with dark truths about your past. With the new chain spear, you’ll gain a versatile addition to your shield and blades that pulls you toward enemies and can also be used as a grappling hook. Returning Slayers can look forward to six new levels packed with secrets to uncover, fresh demon types like the Warlock and Archvile, and the Ripatorium 3.0 update with even more new content.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced

The iconic solo pirate adventure returns. Sail the Caribbean as Edward Kenway during the Golden Age of Piracy in this faithfully enhanced...

Genre: Action-Adventure | Release Date: July 9, 2026
With Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft is bringing back the 2013 classic as a remake completely rebuilt on the latest Anvil engine. As the pirate Edward Kenway, you’ll sail through the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, this time with significantly modernized graphics, ray-tracing effects, and noticeably improved combat, stealth, and naval battle systems. New exclusive story content featuring characters like Blackbeard, new allies, shanties, and a photo mode round out this return. No multiplayer mode—instead, the focus is entirely on the single-player adventure. Black Flag was already excellent back then (Metascore 88), and it’s set to capture your free time even more in 2026.

Echoes of Aincrad

Step into Aincrad, a world of beauty and danger where every battle could be your last. Create your hero, choose your gear, and master com...

Genre: Action RPG | Release Date: July 10, 2026
For the first time in the history of the Sword Art Online series, Echoes of Aincrad doesn’t have you playing as Kirito—instead, you create your own character and experience the Sword Art Online death game firsthand. On the first two floors of the floating fortress Aincrad, you’ll fight your way through dungeons and quests using melee weapons, dodging, and parrying, supported by an AI sidekick. If you like it tougher, activate permanent Death Game mode: one death permanently wipes your save file.
