July is finally here, which means even more new titles to look forward to. Several titles and expansions are finally seeing the light of day, from long-awaited free to play games like Zenless Zone Zero and The First Descendant to sequels like Frostpunk 2 and EA Sports College Football 25. There are even expansions and DLC that are worth keeping an eye on. Without further ado, let’s look at the 14 most noteworthy releases in July 2024.
Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail
A new world awaits in Final Fantasy 14’s new expansion, Dawntrail, as the Warrior of Light ventures to a new continent in Tural. Whether it’s new cities like Tuliyollal and Solution Nine; n…
The PlayStation 5 Pro has been received rather well despite its high price, with several titles benefiting from features like PlayStation Super Spectral Resolution. Unfortunately, the AI upscaler is seemingly bugged for some titles, such as Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. In its recent video, Digital Foundry reported shimmering when playing in Performance Mode, potentially due to PSSR’s upscaling.
The result is something that looks worse than on PS5. Though Sony hasn’t commented on or acknowledged the issue, Electronic Arts on Twitter said it’s aware of the issues and is “actively investigating” the same. There’s currently no estimated time for a fix, so stay tuned for further updates.

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has given a clear indication that Bayern Munich plan to exercise their option to buy James Rodriguez.
The Colombia international joined Bayern from Real Madrid on a two-year loan deal in 2017, with the agreement reportedly including a €42million clause to make the move permanent.
James has only started 10 Bundesliga games this season under Niko Kovac, but Bayern chief Rummenigge says he is confident the switch will be completed and insists everyone at the club is in agreement on the 27-year-old.
I come out as a fan of James he has an incredible left foot and, to me, is a world star, Rummenigge told Munchner Abendzeitung.
We have until June 15 to use the option, so we have plenty of time left. But I have to say that everyone is ha…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp labelled the decision to leave Roberto Firmino out of the Brazil World Cup as madness before netting in Saturday s 3-1 win over Southampton.
Firmino missed the cut for Tite s 26-man Brazilian squad in midweek despite being in their squad for friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia in September.
The Brazilian put aside that disappointment to open the scoring against the Saints with a crafty header his 18th headed goal in the Premier League.
But Klopp revealed prior to the game that the decision had impacted Firmino and taken the German by surprise too.
A blow, definitely, Klopp said. You couldn t see it in training, but definitely.
It was [a blow] for me to be honest. I m happy we have Bobby, but he deserves it. I thin…
Kaiserslautern announced on Tuesday that they have parted ways with coach Marco Kurz.
The move comes after a winless run that stretches back to October and sees the club languishing at the foot of the Bundesliga table, with 20 points from 26 matches.
After the 4-1 defeat against Schalke on Sunday and many intensive discussions, we have come to the conclusion that we must take this step, Kaiserslautern CEO Stefan Kuntz told the club s official website.
In recent weeks and months, we tried different things to get the team back on track. Unfortunately, this was not successful.
Kurz was appointed as Kaiserslautern coach in 2009, taking the club to a seventh-placed finish in the Bundesliga in 2010/11 after he guided them to promotion to the top flight the …

Sunday afternoon brings the great Derby della Capitale between fierce city rivals Lazio and Roma, who go head to head in a highly-anticipated top-of-the-table clash. Both sides have enjoyed a good spell of football lately and we are most definitely in for a firecracker of a game.
Lazio
Simeone Inzaghi is enjoying quite a successful spell at Lazio this season, leading them to a nine-match unbeaten streak which was recorded for the first time since 2013. The new boss gave much-needed freedom to his players, who are enjoying a fantastic spell in the Serie A at the moment. Lazio are currently occupying the fourth place in the standings, trailing their Sunday’s rivals by only one point and have a…

Kashiwa Reysol defeated Shimizu S-Pulse 5-3 in an enthralling encounter in the J-League on Saturday.
The visiting Kashiwa outfit opened the scoring from the penalty spot on 33 minutes through Leandro Domingues before Genki Omae equalised four minutes later.
Shimizu came out the stronger side in the second half as Naohiro Takahara s faint flick put the hosts ahead eight minutes after the interval.
Alex Brosque netted his sixth goal of the season and doubled their advantage just after the hour mark but it would not be a night to remember for the home faithful.
Down to nine men, Shimizu started to tire and Kashiwa began to make their advantage count as Masato Kudo pulled a goal back on 75 minutes.
A fumble from goalkeeper Akihiro Hayashi saw the vis…
Adriano Galliani said Milan may encounter difficulties in their attempts to re-sign Kaka, opening the door for New York Red Bull.
The Brazilian playmaker has frequently been linked with a return to the San Siro after struggling for fitness and form at Real Madrid following his 68 million euros transfer in 2009.
Earlier in the week, Kaka s agent Diogo Kotscho confirmed he was in talks with Milan about a summer swoop, but according to Milan vice-president Galliani, the tax system in Italy may prevent the deal.
It will be very difficult, Galliani told reporters when the Serie A fixture list was unveiled.
There are a thousand factors which could make this impossible.
As always, the problem is money. Milan cannot afford to pay some wages, because S…
Arrogance within FIFA has led to the ongoing corruption scandal in Zurich, according to one former advisor who always anticipated the organisation s current troubles.
Both FIFA and UEFA presidents Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini are suspended in relation to a payment of two million Swiss Francs made to the Frenchman from FIFA in 2011.
Blatter and Platini deny any wrongdoing and have appealed the decision, while proceedings relating to acting UEFA chief Angel Maria Villar and German football legend Franz Beckenbauer are currently with FIFA s adjudicatory chamber.
It leaves FIFA s reputation damaged ahead of February s presidential elections, but former advisor Michael Hershman maintains such events were always a possibility.
