It’s been a busy year for new video games and there’s more to look forward to in June.
June is a very progressive scale for Fall Guys video games, ideal for families, coming to the free game and the new Mario Strikers: Battle League. On the other hand, there’s also Supermassive’s upcoming horror game, The Quarry, which definitely seems to keep you awake at night.
Here are all the major game releases to look forward to in June.
What new video games will be released in June 2022?
Mario Strikers: Battle League
Release date: June 10
Mario Strikers: Battle League brings 5-on-5 football to the screen. It is a seemingly ruleless game where competitors can tackle and use items to do whatever it takes to score that goal.
Regular Mario users like Peach, Toad, and Yoshi can be played, and players can play online or locally with friends.
Book now: Switch
Stone mine
Release date: June 10
Supermassive’s upcoming horror adventure, following the success of Until Dawn, is a teenage slasher set in a summer camp. The Quarry follows a group of teenage counselors who are being chased by a sinister monster in Hackett’s Quarry.
The Quarry is a unique gaming experience with a combination of immersive cut scenes and gameplay sequences where you can choose your own adventure. David Arquette, Ariel Winter and Justice Smith are just part of the huge cast.
Book now: PS5 | PS4 | Xbox
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
Release date: June 24
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes takes characters such as Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude to a war-ravaged Fodlan where they must test their combat experience. Each character has a unique weapon that you can use to defeat dozens of enemies.
Book now: Switch
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
Release date: June 21
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout was, well, a knockout when it hit PlayStation in 2020. Now it will finally hit all platforms (including Xbox and Switch) for free.
The adorable Battle Royale game brings together groups of up to 60 players in a series of platform minigames, until only one remains. If you haven’t signed up for Fall Guys yet, now is the time. (This was my GOTY in 2020, so I’m just a little skewed).
It’s a quieter month, but this year there is no shortage of new games, especially for PlayStation, which has 22 new games released this year!
Stay tuned to Lifehacker Australia for a list of the best games to buy each month in 2022.
