The summer is upon us and this is looking to be the biggest June ever for gaming. Normally releases cools down, as this is announcement season for the industry due to the history of E3 (RIP).
However this year brings about the launch of one of the most anticipated consoles with the Switch 2 kicking things off on June 5th. Don’t worry though, even if you aren’t a Nintendo fan there’s still plenty on this list for you to enjoy.
Deltarune: Chapter 3/4
Deltarune fans were pleasantly surprised when not one, but two of the next chapters for the beloved game by Undertale creator Toby Fox was announced. Once these release, the planned storyline will be over halfway complete after its initial release way back in 2018.
For those who don’t know about this game, you can expect a unique role playing experience with turned base combat as they explore the world. However fighting isn’t the only option as players can choose to resolve things peacefully by literally jumping through a lot of hoops to get there.
Deltarune: Chapter 3/4 releases on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC (via Steam) on June 5th.
Etheria: Restart
Etheria: Restart is a turned based RPG in a world where in humanity’s last bid for survival, they’ve uploaded themselves in a virtual world. However even this new world brings about dangers that threaten them once more after disaster strikes.
Playesr assume the role of a Hyperlinker as they fight against the Animus and explore the world to learn the truth on what caused all this.
Etheria: Restart launches for iOS, Android, and PC (via Steam) on June 5th.
FAST Fusion
This list isn’t about the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch titles, even if most of them are releases, but FAST Fusion is certainly one of the most anticipated new titles coming out for the platform.
This fast pace sci-fi racer has extreme speed that’ll get everyone’s hearts pumping as they race through futuristic anti-grav tracks. Meanwhile the special “fusion” mechanic will allow players to customize their vehicles in any manner they like.
FAST Fusion will launch exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5th.
Mario Kart World
While there are many games coming out on the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch, Mario Kart World is easily the biggest title to be dropping day one for the platform. A brand new mainline Mario Kart title has finally arrived after the long lifespan of Mario Kart 8.
The fun kart gameplay is still here for the series, but things have gotten bigger with the first open world title for the franchise. Will there be enough content though to justify the $80 price tag? Only time will tell.
Mario Kart World races on June 5th exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2.
Dune: Awakening
Players will be able to live out the conflict of the popular Dune franchise with Dune: Awakening. This is an open world survival game with servers able to contain hundreds of players that are either fighting, or engaging in diplomacy to survive.
The game’s sandbox nature gives way for all styles of play as you’ll explore the vast world to find resources, explore beautiful locales, and even build up their arsenal of weapons should the need for combat arise.
Dune: Awakening is slated to launch on June 10th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam).
MindsEye
MindsEye is a new story centered action adventure title set in a sci-fi universe where technology has grown enough that sentient AI-powered robots now exist. The problem being that said robots might be uprising now and humanity’s fate lies in the hands on one man.
Players will take on the role of Jacob Diaz, a former spec ops soldier struggling with his MindsEye neural implant. While dealing with his personal demons, he’ll also have to contend with visionaries and corruption to save not only himself, but humanity as a whole.
MindsEye will launch on June 10th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store).
The Alters
Sometimes the only way to save yourself is by making more versions of you to solve various problems. The Alters aims to be a thought-provoking narrative as one man finds himself stranded alone on a distant planet.
His only means of survival might be to create other versions of himself, all with different skills due different possible choices made in his life. Which begs the question, who could you have turned out, if only you made one single different decision?
The Alters crash lands on June 13th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store).
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic
The latest installment in one of the biggest horror franchises in gaming history is here with Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic. From the minds of Security Breach, this title focuses on the Mimic, a popular character in the series’ lore.
Players will find themselves in an abandoned manor, where they’ll have to explore to figure out the secrets of its reclusive inventor, and owner, of the place. But what they find might spell their doom, where they’ll have to rely on quick wits and feet to survive the horrors within.
