It’s the start of a new month and though there’s still plenty of gas left in 2021, the next few weeks look to hold some of the most potent releases of the year. Arriving alongside the temperature-rising season of summer, June 2021 sees the debut of several particularly spicy game releases, with some of the hottest highlights including the reality-shifting platformer ​​Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, RPG side-story adventure ​​Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, and the fast-paced fighting title Guilty Gear Strive.

Adding to the month’s precipitous monsoon of releases, ​​players also have dungeon-crawling hack-and-slasher Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance, battle-royale-adjacent sports title ​​Mario Golf: Super Rush, cybernatural action-RPG ​​Scarlet Nexus, and the retro re-release of ​​Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol to look forward to. Next-gen consoles receive some particular love in June, introducing modern revamps for The Elder Scrolls Online, Metro Exodus, as well as PSO2 in the form of ​​Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.

​

As with every month, DLC will also have its day in June 2021, introducing bonuses such as the Blackwood expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online, an environment-shifting Caves and Cliffs update for Minecraft, and an island getaway for Genshin Impact. Offering that much more additional content, Dead By Daylight crosses over with Resident Evil, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot retells a classic Trunks storyline, and ​Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity prepares the first of its long-awaited expansions.

​Of course, June 2021 has even more games/DLC where that came from. The month ahead is gleaming with bright releases, all of which can be viewed in the list below.
