We find ourselves a week into the month of June, and already some of the biggest games are making their debut. With several industry showcase events on the horizon, gamers can expect exciting announcements and reveals. The Summer Game Fest kicks off on June 8, followed by the Xbox Games Showcase on June 11. While the anticipation for upcoming titles builds, there are also plenty of highly anticipated games releasing this month.
One of the standout games coming in June is Final Fantasy XVI. This installment in the beloved series introduces real-time action-based combat for the first time, departing from its traditional turn-based mechanics. Despite this shift, Final Fantasy XVI retains its deep lore, recurring characters, and epic scale. The game is set to launch on June 22 as a timed exclusive on the PS5.
Diablo IV is another highly anticipated release this month. The Diablo series has been influential in the dungeon-crawler RPG genre, but recent entries like Diablo III received mixed reactions from fans. Additionally, the focus on microtransactions in Diablo Immortal left players disappointed. As the fourth main entry in the franchise, Diablo IV aims to recapture the essence of the earlier games and restore faith in the series.
June seems to be the month of sequels, as Street Fighter 6 makes its return with a roster of familiar fighters and a brand new story-focused World Tour mode. F1 23 is also set to release this month, providing a companion to the ongoing Formula One World Championship. With the prominence of sequels, there’s plenty to look forward to for fans of these long-running franchises.
