It’s almost February June (??) and while I’m sure most of us are still getting through April and May‘s gauntlet of games, the release cycle does not let up. It’s an especially big one this month with all of the June “Summer of Gaming” showcase action happening, but that doesn’t meant you shouldn’t be paying attention to the launch calendar for the month.
The opening weeks aren’t huge for new releases (save Destiny’s huge The Final Shape expansion), mercifully with most of us set to be glued to livestreams from a range of publishers and developers around the world, but things do start to get exciting deeper in with launches like Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance and fresh ports of Monster Hunter Stories 1 + 2, but then it gets particularly exciting in the back half with Elden Ring’s long-awaited Shadow of the Erdtree expansion which will likely be the last thing I play in 2024.
As usual it’s more than we could feasibly list in one go, so excuse anything missing, but take a look at some of the titles we’re pretty keen for in June 2024, below:
