Top 5 games coming to Xbox One next week include Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and Danger Zone 2

A handful of games release on Xbox One every week, ranging from AAA titles to lesser-known indie games. Xbox Wire compiles many of these releases, but misses a few and does not give any recommendations. Here are some of the games coming out the week of July 8 through July 14 that we think you should check out. It’s another week dominated by ID@Xbox.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Developer Fatshark is back with yet another entry in the Warhammer universe. Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is an action-multiplayer game tasking players to defeat the the Chaos army and Skaven, a race of rat-men. The game will feature five different playable characters with their own unique abilities. It is set to launch on July 11, and will also release into Xbox Game Pass the same day.

Danger Zone 2
