Overview of the Must-Play RPG Releases of July

June has been a wonderful month for gamers. From major events like the Summer Game Fest to the release of Destiny 2: The Final Shape, this month was one of the best in the gaming industry. Since there is only a week left in June, let’s take a look at what RPG games have July in store for us.

 

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail

For years, Final Fantasy XIV stood as a foundational game in massively multiplayer online role-playing games. The game’s next DLC, Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, will expand its horizons even further by giving players more to explore and do than they could ever imagine. 

This DLC will feature two new regions (Yok Tural and Xak Tural), new allied tribe quests, a new playable race (female Hrothgar), a new collaborative tool (the Strategy Board), and more. Also, it adds two new jobs: viper, a physical melee DPS who uses a dual-blade as a weapon, and pictomancer, a magical range DPS who uses a paintbrush and palette to paint magical elements.
