Denshattack!

Release date: June 17

Denshattack! is basically a skating game, except your skateboard is a high-speed train that would rival Sonic in terms of going fast. Kickflip, grind rails, and ollie your way throughout an alternate future Japan that’s been devastated by climate change as you ferry supplies between cities. Denshattack! being centered around trains isn’t just some gimmick. “We are fond of trains. We are fond of Japanese trains in particular,” Undercoders’ David Jaumandreu recently told Polygon. “So I guess that’s one of the reasons that Denshattack! exists — is that we are skateboard guys, we are also train guys, Japanese train guys in particular.”

Adventures of Elliot

Release date: June 18

Octopath Traveler fans and enjoyers of HD-2D RPGs in general won’t have to wait long for their next time-suck of an RPG. The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales gets released in June and brings something new to the HD-2D space. Instead of turn-based combat commonly associated with these types of RPGs, Elliot will feature real-time combat. After previewing it in May, The Adventures of Elliot instantly became one of our most-anticipated games of the summer. “The relentlessly satisfying and succinct gameplay loop of The Adventures of Elliot made my hour with the game fly by.”

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam

Release date: June 18

The next Hell Let Loose takes its large-scale 50v50 matches to Vietnam. Hell Let Loose: Vietnam‘s central Warfare mode is a tug-of-war-like battle where players fight to obtain and control different sectors of the map. It’s a much sweatier game than a casual FPS like Call of Duty, and out-positioning and out-thinking your opponent are just as important as out-gunning them. Polygon got to preview it this spring and said Hell Let Loose: Vietnam “might be the most realistic shooter I’ve ever played.”

Dead or Alive 6: Last Round

Release date: June 25

During PlayStation’s February State of Play stream, Koei Tecmo revealed a new Dead or Alive game was in development, but didn’t share much more on it. While you wait for that game, though, a remastered version of the last Dead or Alive release arrives this month. Dead or Alive 6 Last Round will launch with free-to-play and paid versions, like the original release. Polygon enjoyed the “straightforward, enjoyable fighting system” of the 2019 version, but noted in our review that the oversexualization of the game’s female characters gets in the way of a fun time.
