Welcome one and all, to the first in a weekly round-up of the forthcoming weeks gaming releases for the Xbox. Chances are you will probably know all about any upcoming AAA titles but these news round-ups will also include some smaller games you may not have heard of.
What you can expect to see will be a list, obviously, of games with a little bit about each of them. If there is some images or trailers that have been released I’ll do my best to include them too.
Without further ado let’s get on with releases for the Xbox for the 25-31 January!
First up is Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo. Developed and published the Italian developers Milestone S.r.l., the game features around 300 km of tracks, with 8 different rallies, 5 rally-cross tracks and the Pikes Peak track, as well as over 50 car models. Your main aim is to become the number one rally champion!
There is a Day One Edition of the game available for pre-order that comes with The Legendary Pikes Peak Pack as well as the Suzuki Escudo & Peugeot 405 T16 pp cars.
Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo will be available on Xbox One on Friday 29th January.

Next up is a game that I think most people will have heard of already and that’s This War of Mine: The Little Ones.
The game was developed by 11 bit studios and published by Deep Silver for the console versions.
This War of Mine, which is inspired by the 1992–96 Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War, differs from your typical war game as you control a group of civilians instead of the soldiers of the front line.
Your job is to keep the survivors, who have zero military training or survival experience, alive with the tools and materials that you gather and they use until the ceasefire is called which occurs after a randomized duration. There’ll be a lot of player intervention to keep your survivors alive and I can’t imagine it’s a barrel of laughs considering the subject matter.
This War of Mine: The Little Ones will be released on Xbox One, also on Friday 29th January.
Last up for the releases this week is Gunscape an ID@Xbox title. The First Person Shooter has been developed and published by Blowfish Studios. However, this isn’t your typical FPS game! The players create the gameplay!
That’s right you get to create the levels and according to Blowfish Studios the game is more of an “FPS Construction Kit”. You can recreate levels from your favourite shooters and your imagination is the limit. You’ll also be able to share any maps you create, which also means, if you’re not too into creating, you can download other players maps and start shooting your way through them.
There has been no specific release date announced yet but it’s due to be out at some point this week, so keep your eyes peeled for that!
