With the excitement of E3 finally fading, everyone is looking forward to new game releases as June did not have really much to offer in terms of in-hand new content. Although July does not seem to be heavily packed with exciting game releases, here are 10 of them which might intrigue you.

A version of the game was already on Steam; 5 July will mark the release of the English version of the game. The game promises “deep strategy and historically accurate warfare”. The game reportedly features two modes, a campaign mode and a hero mode that takes players through the mechanics of the game.
