Top Games Releasing In June — The Quarry, Mario Strikers: Battle League, More

Diablo Immortal, Silt, Sonic Origins, and more to choose from.

June is shaping up to be an interesting month for gamers. While there may not be mega releases such as a Call of Duty or Assassin’s Creed title, there are still some great games set to release in June that are worth checking out. On one hand, you have Mario’s take on Rocket League in Mario Strikers: Battle League, while on the other, you have The Quarry, an Until Dawn-esque horror starring A-listers such as David Arquette, Lin Shaye, and Ariel Winter. For this list, we are not considering DLCs and added chapters in live service games. So, releases such as Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course and The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle won’t be a part of our June selection. Without further ado, here are the top June releases you should check out across all platforms.

Silt

Release date: June 1
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch

Silt may remind you of the classic indie horror Limbo, given its greyscale treatment and gloomy ambience. This puzzle-based adventure title will let you guide a scuba diver through eerie underwater regions where you will encounter spooky monsters and even spookier locations. The protagonist will also have the power to possess marine animals, so it will be interesting to see how Silt will play out.

Diablo Immortal

Release date: June 2
Platforms: PC, Android, iOS

If you swear by dungeon crawler RPGs, chances are you have already played multiple Diablo games so far. Looking to continue the franchise’s signature tense gameplay, Diablo Immortal takes place between Diablo II and Diablo III. A free-to-play offering from developers Blizzard and NetEase, the online-only title was initially designed to be played on mobile platforms. So, it appears that Android and iOS users will have something exciting to look forward to in June.

Mario Strikers: Battle League

Release date: June 10
Platforms: Nintendo Switch

What if Mario Kart met Rocket League? Nintendo’s latest Mario release will let you engage with others in five-on-five football games, where you can create a team of your favourite characters from the Mario universe, from Mario himself to Bowser — each with their own sets of unique powers. Promising over-the-top action in terms of gameplay, Mario Strikers: Battle League will let you take on your rivals will your skills and a wide arsenal of wacky weapons, including banana peels.

The Quarry

Release date: June 10
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

A spiritual successor to the Rami Malek-starring 2015 horror Until Dawn, The Quarry boasts of a stellar cast of voice actors, including the likes of David Arquette (‘Scream’), Lin Shaye (‘Insidious’), Ariel Winter (‘Modern Family’), and Justice Smith (‘Pokémon Detective Pikachu’). Promising incredible motion capture action and an engaging storyline, The Quarry will let you take control of the fate of nine teenagers who must survive a night at the Hackett’s Quarry. Just like other Supermassive Games releases, The Quarry will also keep changing the game’s storyline base on every single decision you make within the game. Lasting around 10 hours, The Quarry’s campaign will have a total of 186 different endings to choose from. We’ll surely be playing (and replaying) this one to see how many endings we can actually discover.

Sonic Origins

Release date: June 23
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch

Although not an entirely new game, Sonic Origins is still a fun option to consider in June. It is a collection of remasters of the first four platformers Sega’s Sonic series — Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and a combo of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles. While the games will be available to play in their original format, players will get to experience the classics on their widescreen displays along with a handful of new game modes and missions.

MADiSON

Release date: June 24
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch

A first-person horror that may remind you of the Outlast series, this indie game from developers Bloodious Games will put you in the shoes of Luca, who is forced by a demon to commit abominable acts. The game’s official website simply says, “Will you be able to finish this sinister ceremony?” The game’s dark, moody design and intriguing plot promise to offer an unforgettable, albeit terrifying, experience.
