June was absolutely packed with new game announcements. With all the various shows and events held during the month, it was hard to narrow this list down. We\u2019ve selected a wide range of announced games, and we could have easily added to it. That said, here are just a few games that piqued our interest. Don\u2019t consider these games ranked in any particular order either. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see how these titles do when they finally launch into the marketplace.<\/p>\n

Spyro A Realm Beyond\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s kick this list off with an oldie. Spyro is finally coming back. Sure, we saw the IP return not too long ago with help from Toys for Bob. If you don\u2019t recall, Spyro had its initial trilogy remade for modern consoles, and fortunately that team is coming back to deliver another installment. Spyro A Realm Beyond will toss Spyro into a new, mysterious realm under invasion. We might not have much information right now, but again, it\u2019s Spyro, and the fact that we\u2019re finally getting another brand-new installment after all this time has us beyond excited.<\/p>\n

Where Winds Meet \u2013 Hidden Mountain\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Where Winds Meet made a bit of a splash when it first launched, but it wasn\u2019t until last month that we saw the game finally arrive on the Xbox Series X\/S platform. Along with it came a sneak peek at the next expansion for the game, Hidden Mountain. A major component of this expansion is the brand-new region coming to the game. Developers are focusing on verticality in a mountainous region where, apparently, a new Moshist sect, mysteries, martial mechanics, and narrative twists await. For those of you who haven\u2019t stepped into the role of a wandering swordsman yet, the base game is free to play.<\/p>\n

Stuntman Hollywood\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Stuntman is making a return with Stuntman: Hollywood. If you\u2019re not familiar with the series, the game is not focusing on racing. Instead, it\u2019s all about putting you behind the wheel and becoming a stuntman. You\u2019ll work on various big blockbuster movie productions where you\u2019ll need to nail the scene in your vehicle. You\u2019ll have to time out moves and master driving precision for the camera. After all, you\u2019ll be put behind the wheel for a wide range of shows and movies like Back to the Future, Miami Vice, and Fast & Furious. So prepare to put the pedal to the metal, grip the steering wheel and try your best not to blow your moment of becoming Hollywood\u2019s biggest stuntman.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vivarium\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Vivarium, right out of the gate, should capture some attention purely on aesthetic grounds. It\u2019s giving that cel-shaded classic animation-style charm, which goes hand in hand with what the developers are aiming for with this type of game. We\u2019re getting a cozy life-simulation experience where players are taking the role of a little girl in what seems like a perfect little terrarium world. Nothing to worry about, right? Wrong! Something is hidden away in this world, and our protagonist Jenny isn\u2019t going to stop before she finds out the truth behind Vivarium. But seriously, just take a look at that art style.<\/p>\n

Gundam Rogue Orbit<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love Gundam? The IP has been going strong for decades, and this coming year we\u2019ll see a new installment in the form of a video game. Gundam Rogue Orbit will once again toss you into the role of a pilot where you\u2019ll take control of Gundam Helix. You and your crew will fight to protect humanity from a new threat. Best of all, even if you\u2019re new to the Gundam IP, developers have noted that this will be a perfect entry point.<\/p>\n

Crossfire\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

One of the new games from a new studio that caught our attention last month was Crossfire. It\u2019s a single-player tactical shooter game that already looks like a big contender whenever it finally lands in the marketplace. A new lethal threat is hitting the world, and we\u2019re working with two mercenaries to contain this threat. One of the big components of this game is cover fire, using your environment to your advantage and taking the stealth route whenever possible. So don\u2019t go expecting to blast your way through every situation. Instead, it looks like you\u2019ll want to take things slow, think carefully and try your best to avoid those nonstop firefights. We know, it\u2019s going to be tempting at times to blow your cover and unleash a barrage of bullets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DOOM: The Dark Ages \u2013 Revelations\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Get ready to slay more demons in Doom: The Dark Ages \u2013 Revelations. This is an expansion for the latest mainline Doom installment. What we\u2019re getting here is our favorite demon-slaying protagonist being trapped inside some kind of purgatory. Fortunately, our protagonist will have something new to add to his arsenal. In this expansion, we\u2019re being introduced to a new weapon to master known as the Chain Spear. Beyond that, you can expect new demons, mysteries to solve, and of course puzzles.<\/p>\n

Rayman Legends Retold\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Rayman is returning with Rayman Legends Retold. If you enjoyed the franchise from yesteryear, then get ready to dive right back into the madness. This platformer is said to be a reimagining of the platform genre with a brand-new visual take. Best of all, you\u2019re getting some classic four-player couch co-op. So you know what to do. Get the family or gather some friends and work your way through the side-scrolling stages!<\/p>\n

Virtua Fighter: Crossroads\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a long wait for a new Virtua Fighter game. The wait will finally be over next year in 2027 when we get our hands on Virtua Fighter Crossroads. This is a brand-new installment in the franchise that will again bring some action-packed combat to duke it out solo or with a friend. Likewise, we\u2019re going to get a new cinematic storyline campaign to fight through. Hopefully we won\u2019t have to wait much longer to see just what else the developers might be cooking up for this one. Still, after all these years waiting for a brand new installment, it\u2019s just incredible to see work is being put into another game.<\/p>\n

Crazy Taxi: World Tour\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Crazy Taxi is back. We\u2019ve missed this IP, and we\u2019re thrilled that we\u2019re finally going to get another installment after all this time. This was just a small glimpse into what is being worked on, and from what we\u2019ve seen, it\u2019s bringing all the attitude and punk rock that we\u2019ve come to know and love from this series. Of course, the developers are looking to add even more to it. You won\u2019t just be gathering passengers and getting them to their destination in record time. There appears to be a bit more to this new installment, including a campaign and, as the title suggests, more locations around the world to visit.<\/p>\n

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

We knew it was in the works, and it was last month that Square Enix decided we had waited long enough for a reveal trailer. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is coming our way next year, and it will complete the last long-awaited trilogy for the Final Fantasy 7 remake. We know there were plenty of people out there who were keen on not starting the remake until they could get the full storyline, so this might bring in more adopters not only to this installment but past installments as well. What we\u2019re all wondering now is just how the story will conclude. Will there be any changes, or should we expect the developers to stick to their guns and wrap the storyline as it happened in the original release? It won\u2019t be long now before we finally find out.<\/p>\n

Cuphead 2 & Mighty Cuphead Adventure\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Cuphead fans rejoice as there are a couple of new projects in the works. We didn\u2019t get much of anything regarding a new Cuphead sequel, but there was something else the developers had been working on alongside it. Mighty Cuphead Adventure is an upcoming 8-bit platformer that offers another grand adventure, one that feels like it was made for the classic Sega Master System. Hopefully this will help tie you over until Cuphead 2 arrives.<\/p>\n

Alien Isolation 2\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Alien Isolation was a hit, and we\u2019re getting a sequel. A lot of fans were stoked to finally get confirmation the game was coming. But it was last month that we finally got our first glimpse into the game. The tone looks to remain the same from what the developers laid out in the first game. However, the setting is different. We\u2019re going to be on some kind of planet that should hopefully add to exploration and provide more places to hide out from the aliens. Beyond that, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what the developers cook up. With as much success as they had with the first Alien Isolation, I don\u2019t see them veering too far off from the gameplay mechanics, but maybe they\u2019ll surprise us with a little more capable weaponry to fight off an alien attack.<\/p>\n

Guild Wars 3\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Guild Wars fans are getting another serving of the game with Guild Wars 3. This MMORPG IP has a new installment coming, though we don\u2019t know just when we\u2019ll get our hands on it. While details are a bit scarce at the moment, we do know that the developers are attempting to evolve the combat system, giving it a more action-RPG feel. Whether you\u2019re completely new to the Guild Wars franchise or a veteran player, this is one installment to keep tabs on as we wait for more information to emerge online.<\/p>\n

Gen Atlas\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Gen Atlas caught our attention, and while we don\u2019t know too much about what the game entails, it\u2019s already gained quite a bit of traction with the public. You\u2019re tossed onto some desolate planet, and before you lies a massive mech robot to team up with. What more could you want from a game? Well, we\u2019re sure that there\u2019s plenty here for players to sink their teeth into, but the developers don\u2019t seem to be ready to divulge that information quite yet. Still, from what little we have seen of this game, we\u2019ll keep this one on the radar in hopes that more details will be unveiled soon.<\/p>\n

Persona 6\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

It has been more than enough time to finally get the next major Persona game. Persona 5 was a massive success, and it certainly put the IP on the radar for many players. So thankfully, it was last month that we got our first big reveal of Persona 6. Well, if you can really call it a reveal. It was a short marketing clip that essentially confirmed Persona 6 is in the works. What it entails and when we\u2019ll see more is anyone\u2019s guess right now. But hey, at least we know the next installment is in production.<\/p>\n

Stellar Blade: Blood Rain\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Those of you who loved Stellar Blade will want to take note of an upcoming sequel. Stellar Blade: Blood Rain was unveiled during Summer Game Fest, and with it came confirmation of a new protagonist named Evie. We\u2019re also getting a different setting, as the game will take place in a futuristic urban city. It has all the action-packed hack-and-slash combat that we would expect from this game as well. As for the storyline, we know that Evie is a special-task-force agent tasked with tracking down a terrorist group, but that\u2019s about as much as we have at the moment. Unfortunately, it\u2019s also a mystery right now when this installment will be released and on which platforms.<\/p>\n

Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Those of you who enjoyed Wo Long can get another helping in 2027 with Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember. Another demon invasion is brewing, leaving the Three Kingdoms in another massive battle for survival. We\u2019re certainly interested in getting some more information and footage for this one. From what we\u2019ve gathered so far from the announcement trailer, it does look like there will be some rather hefty-sized battles to partake in, but again we\u2019ll hopefully get a little more information soon, as this game is slated to land sometime in early 2027.<\/p>\n

Until Dawn 2\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Until Dawn was a huge hit when it first launched in 2015. It was such a hit that the developers behind the game, Supermassive Games, have continued to release games in the same format. However, developers Firesprite are given a chance to take a stab at this IP with a sequel rather than Supermassive Games. It\u2019s also a drastically different setting. While the first game was set in a winter resort, this time we\u2019re going to a tropical backdrop. We\u2019ll follow a group of ghost hunters seeking out the paranormal at an abandoned island. Of course, who survives the ordeal will be determined by the player and their choices.<\/p>\n

Resident Evil: Veronica\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

When Capcom started bringing out remakes of their Resident Evil games, there was one title fans were waiting on: Code Veronica. Fortunately, it\u2019s happening as Capcom confirmed and showcased the initial trailer reveal of Resident Evil: Veronica, officially dropping \u201cCode\u201d from the title. We\u2019re stepping back into the role of Claire Redfield as she gets swept up in more Umbrella madness. The initial footage we\u2019ve seen looks great, but that\u2019s all we have to go by right now. That said, Capcom has been on a roll lately with their releases, so the bar is set high on this one and we\u2019re hopeful they will continue to deliver.<\/p>\n

Dune: Awakening (Console Announcement)<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Dune: Awakening is not a new game at this point. It was first released back in 2025 as players stepped into Arrakis. Made to be a multiplayer survival game, the battle is keeping alive and securing supplies, as scarce as they might be. Initially, players could enjoy this game on PC, but we were informed last month that console players will receive it this September. Those of you who found this game interesting but were stuck without a PC can get another chance to pick it up on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S on September 22, 2026.<\/p>\n

God of War Laufey\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

God of War fans were given a new look at the next chapter for this franchise back at the start of June. It\u2019s been a divisive game to say the least, but we\u2019ll have to see just how it does when it launches. If you missed it, the upcoming God of War game focuses on Laufey. Taking place within the same timeline of events as both God of War 2018 and God of War Ragnarok, we\u2019ll follow Laufey in the afterlife, with her own battles against gods and mythologies. While some fans might be greatly disappointed that Kratos is taking a backseat in this installment, we\u2019ll have to see if the developers manage to stick the landing when it finally arrives in the marketplace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
