Next Week on Xbox: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, My Hero Academia: All’s Justice, Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, and More Land February 2–6

Xbox is kicking off February with a packed slate of new titles spanning RPG epics, anime-fueled arena fighters, roguelite racers, puzzle adventures, and cozy hidden-object hunts, all highlighted in the latest Next Week on Xbox post. Whether you’re on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or PC, there’s something landing almost every day next week to fill out your library.

A Big Next Week on Xbox Headlined by Dragon Quest VII Reimagined

The marquee launch for the week is Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, arriving February 4 and bringing one of the most beloved classic JRPGs to modern Xbox hardware with a fresh coat of paint and major gameplay updates. You play as a young fisherman’s son on the quiet island of Estard, whose curiosity about the wider world leads him and his friends to the mysterious Shrine of Mysteries and a journey through time to restore lands sealed away by a malevolent force.

Square Enix isn’t just doing a straight port here; Dragon Quest VII Reimagined introduces a new hand-crafted diorama-style visual aesthetic that makes its islands and characters look like detailed miniature worlds on your TV. The turn-based battle system has been overhauled with a revamped vocation system, including the “Moonlighting” mechanic that lets characters equip two vocations at once, opening up deeper builds and combo potential than in the original. Quality-of-life upgrades like battle speed adjustments, auto-battle options, and instantly defeating weak enemies help keep the pacing brisk without losing that old-school Dragon Quest feel.

For players who want to dive in even deeper, Microsoft is also offering a Digital Deluxe Edition that layers in extras and early access on top of the base game. Whether you’re a longtime fan revisiting Estard or a newcomer discovering this chapter of the series for the first time, this remake aims to feel both nostalgic and modern at the same time.

My Hero Academia: All’s Justice Brings Anime Combat to Xbox

Landing on February 5, My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is a super-powered 3D arena fighter that pulls directly from the blockbuster anime’s climactic Final War arc. This one is tuned for Xbox Series X|S, with big, flashy Quirk-based attacks and cinematic camera work designed to make each battle feel like a playable episode.

All’s Justice leans into 3v3 tag-team combat, letting you switch between Heroes and Villains mid-fight to extend combos, call in assists, and set up tactical pressure. A new “Rising” combat mechanic lets you temporarily buff attack power, speed, and Quirk potency, giving you comeback tools and more expressive offensive options. The story mode promises fully voiced dialogue, dramatic in-engine cutscenes, and the ability to experience the conflict from both sides, culminating in the inevitable showdown between One For All and All For One.

On Xbox, you’ll be able to choose between multiple editions — Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate — each stacking in additional content and cosmetics for the most devoted Plus Ultra fans. If you’ve been looking for an anime fighter that mixes faithful adaptation with a modern tag-based system, this is one to watch next week.

Carmageddon: Rogue Shift Revives Vehicular Mayhem

If your tastes run more chaotic, Carmageddon: Rogue Shift smashes onto Xbox Series X|S on February 6 with a modern spin on the classic vehicular carnage franchise. 34BigThings is aiming for fast, accessible combat racing that preserves the original’s gleeful destruction while updating the structure into a roguelite loop.

Every run throws you into high-speed races packed with brutal collisions, environmental hazards, and over-the-top wrecks, and getting totaled doesn’t mean you’re done — another driver steps in and the mayhem continues. Between runs, you spend your hard-earned Beatcoins in the Black Market to unlock permanent upgrades, bonuses, and new content, gradually shaping your vehicle into an absurdly destructive “ultimate killing machine.” For Xbox players who miss old-school, unapologetically messy combat racers, Carmageddon: Rogue Shift could be the sleeper hit of the week.

Cozy, Clever, and Quirky Indies

Not everything next week is about giant anime clashes and world-ending threats; there’s a strong lineup of smaller, more experimental games hitting Xbox as well. These titles help round out the slate with puzzle-solving, hidden-object hunts, and inventive retro-inspired adventures.

• Hidden Cats in Christmas (February 4) brings a festive twist to hidden-object puzzlers, dropping you into a magical Christmas World Park covered in snow and grayscale until you start spotting more than 900 hidden kittens and characters. Each cat you find restores color to the scene, and photos of real cats from the community are paired with illustrated versions to unlock seven bonus stages with progressive colorization effects.
  

• Lovish (February 4) is an outrageous 8-bit-styled action-adventure from Labs and Matt Kap, built around bite-sized rooms where you slice monsters, grab loot, and dash to the exit. After each room, a brief event scene triggers where just about anything can happen — items, encounters, or even apocalypse-level twists — turning progression into a series of unpredictable micro-stories.
  

• Tiny Biomes (February 4) offers a more meditative challenge, blending tile-rotation puzzles with a gentle environmental theme. You guide water, snow, and lava through top-down levels to restore life to forest, volcano, and winter biomes, each with 50 levels that gradually ramp up in complexity.
  

• New Yankee: Through the History Mirror Collector’s Edition (February 4) sends John and Mary on not one but two parallel escapades that bounce through space and time, blending lighthearted storytelling with time-management strategy. As they disappear into the unknown, you’ll also step into the paws, claws, and pages of their loyal companions — Max the brave dog, a wise Raven, an inventive Gremlin, and an erudite Spellbook — each following their own thread as they try to track the duo down. Across enchanted forests, crystal-filled caves, and battlefields overrun by undead, you’ll juggle resource gathering, objective management, and mystical phenomena while unraveling the mystery behind John and Mary’s vanishing act.
  

These releases are all Xbox Play Anywhere in various combinations, and Tiny Biomes is also optimized for Smart Delivery and handheld play, which is great news for those of you pairing an Xbox with devices like the ASUS ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go.

Classic-Style RPGs and Tactical Adventures

RPG fans get more than just Dragon Quest next week, with a trio of story-driven adventures spanning retro sensibilities and tactical strategy. If you like turn-based battles and character growth systems, you’ll have plenty to sink into.

• Dragon Spira (February 5) is a nostalgic pixel-art RPG that builds its mythology around divine beings, rebellious Spirit Beasts, and legendary relics like the Divine Sword and Seed of Hope. Its turn-based combat is backed by a board game-style growth system, a wide range of jobs to customize your party, and a Spirit Beast companion that evolves in step with the narrative.
  
• Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass (February 5) is a surreal, Japanese-style RPG set entirely in the dream of an eight-year-old boy. Expect 16-bit-inspired visuals, psychologically charged environments, and a tone that swings between whimsical and unsettling as Jimmy and his family confront the nightmarish “Pulsating Mass” threatening their world.
  
• Dark Quest: Remastered (February 6) channels old-school fantasy with an evil sorcerer, a dungeon beneath the village of Darkwood, and a party of heroes taking on grid-based tactical battles. Built for players who enjoy thoughtful tactics, it mixes straightforward controls with deeper strategic decision-making as you delve deeper into the sorcerer’s domain.
  
• MENACE (Game Preview), arriving February 5, adds another tactical flavor, this time in a sci-fi setting where you command a strike force of marines, mercenaries, and criminals in the distant Wayback system. You’ll field tanks, walkers, and infantry squads, train your units, plan operations, and fight deadly battles while trying to unite local factions against an unknown threat.
  

Chill Flights, Police Work, and Precision Platforming

Rounding out the week are a handful of games that lean into specific fantasies, from tranquil aerial exploration to high-stakes traffic stops and minimalist precision challenges. These are the kinds of experiences that can slide nicely into your regular rotation.

• Sora – Winds of the Jungle (February 5) casts you as a bright parrot soaring over tropical islands, dense canopies, waterfalls, and ancient ruins in handcrafted levels. Each stage contains 40–60 sky markers to weave through as you follow your flock across the archipelago, hitting wind boosts, discovering shortcuts, and soaking in the laid-back, colorful vibes.
  

• Car Cops (February 6) puts you in the role of a sharp-eyed police officer patrolling city streets, pulling over suspicious drivers, and responding to whatever each stop reveals. Those moments might escalate into dangerous chases, tense confrontations, or situations where someone desperately needs help, and with Xbox Play Anywhere and handheld optimization, you can bring the beat with you wherever you go.

• Un.Key (February 6) offers a minimalist spin on platforming, casting you as a tiny key navigating toward its lock through levels full of saws, spikes, and cleverly arranged traps. Movement revolves around smooth, precise rotation, making every turn a decision as you test your reflexes and planning against increasingly tricky obstacle layouts.
