CrossfireX (February 10, 2022) XB1/XBX|S
Much like Besiege above this, tactical first-person shooter CrossfireX is only seeing its release on the Xbox line of consoles, but in this case, it is truly an Xbox exclusive. The third entry in the Crossfire franchise, CrossfireX looks to present itself similarly to Halo Infinite’s release, with a free-to-play multiplayer component as well as a single-player campaign developed by Remedy Entertainment. If the result is a campaign as entertaining as their other work which sets a strong example for single-player experiences, we could be in for a treat.

The King of Fighters XV (February 17, 2022) XBX|S
The latest entry in SNK’s long history of fighting games, The King of Fighters has been a hardcore favorite since the franchise’s debut in 1994. With terms like “Street Fighter Killer” thrown around, fans know of the sophistication and finesse this series brings, and the 15th entry looks to carry on this pedigree. The game appears to sport the same three-person teams the series is known for, as well as returning parry mechanics, MAX mode buildup so players can use improved moves, and accessibility features like Rush to make the game more approachable to newcomers. The King of Fighters XV releases February 17, 2022, on Xbox Series X|S.
Elden Ring (February 25, 2022) XB1/XBX|S
Easily the most hyped entry on this list, FromSoftware‘s ambitious collaboration with George R.R. Martin is poised to be the biggest new release so far this year. The dark fantasy trappings as envisioned by the team in combination with Martin’s vision will create a unique and punishing experience in this action RPG. Given the game’s origins being rooted in their developer’s famous Souls-like formula, players are nervous yet excited for a spectacular new adventure and will be encouraged to know that even though the game will be hard, you won’t feel discouraged from playing.
