It’s time to take to the skies with the Loftwing again: Skyward Sword is back.
Zelda is typically the biggest hitter any week it lands, and this week — the middle of July, gaming’s traditional quiet month — is no exception. Skyward Sword HD drops on Friday, just less than 10 years after its initial release on the Wii.
It’s a massive week for racing fans too, with the first F1 title under EA’s leadership dropping tomorrow. (I don’t expect that much will actually change from year to year, since the EA/Codemasters transition is still quite fresh, but it is the beginning of an era.) F1 2021 is bringing a two-player career mode and a “Braking Point” campaign story. I’d be surprised if it didn’t add more drama, much the way FIFA‘s Journey mode has.
Beyond that, it’s a bit of a quiet one. The end of July is shaping up to be a properly stacked week — that’s when we’ll get The Ascent, Flight Simulator on consoles, the astonishing looking Cris Tales, Master Blaster Zero 3, the cracking Death’s Door, NEO: The World Ends With You, the latest Sims expansion and more.

Leah and I actually played Pierre The Maze Detective on stream the other day. It’s coming to PC too, but for whatever reason, Switch owners are getting it a week early.
So that’s the trailers for the week. Nice mix of titles before July gets properly busy from next week. See anything you like? Or spotted something we missed? Let us know in the comments!
