Xbox’s Early February Line Up Brings RPG Revivals And Anime Action

Microsoft has shared the list of games hitting Xbox over the next few days, and it’s one of those weeks that quietly covers a lot of ground. There’s a big RPG revival, an anime fighter, some chaos-driven racing, and a handful of smaller games that exist purely to kill time in a good way. Releases are spread between February 2 and February 6 across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

The most familiar name here is Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, launching on February 4. This is not a full reboot, but it does look and feel noticeably different from the original. The new diorama style gives the world a more tactile look, and the pacing has been tightened so it doesn’t drag the way older RPGs sometimes did.

You play as a fisherman’s son from the island of Estard, which starts off feeling small and almost insignificant. That changes once sealed lands begin to reappear and the story starts jumping across timelines. It’s a slow burn, but that’s kind of the point. The game is built for Xbox Series X|S and supports Play Anywhere.

A day later, My Hero Academia All’s Justice lands for players who want something faster and louder. It sticks to the familiar 3D arena fighter formula but leans heavily into fan service. Characters show up in updated forms, battles are flashy and over the top, and there’s more here than just one-on-one fights. Team-based missions and scenario-driven modes pull directly from the anime’s school setting.

February 6 is where things get messy. Carmageddon: Rogue Shift takes the old vehicular combat idea and throws it into a roguelite loop. You race, you wreck, you get wiped out, and then you come back stronger. Progress carries over between runs, and if one driver goes down, another jumps in immediately. It’s less about clean racing and more about surviving long enough to unlock something ridiculous.

The rest of the week is filled out by smaller titles that don’t pretend to be anything else. Hidden Cats in Christmas is exactly what it sounds like: a chilled hidden object game where scenes slowly come alive as you spot more cats. Tiny Biomes goes in the opposite direction, turning tile rotation into a proper puzzle challenge using elements like water, snow, and lava.

There’s also Lovish, a short-burst retro action game built around tight rooms and unpredictable events, and New Yankee Through the History Mirror Collector’s Edition, which mixes fantasy storytelling with time travel across parallel timelines.

RPG fans get one more option on February 5 with Dragon Spira, a pixel art role-playing game that leans into turn-based combat, job systems, and evolving companions. The week closes out with Car Cops, a patrol-focused police simulator, and Un. Key, a minimalist platformer built around rotating a tiny key through increasingly annoying spaces.

Some of these support Smart Delivery or Play Anywhere. Dates can shift. But as weekly Xbox drops go, this one’s more interesting than it looks at first glance.
