Even in a post-E3 world, June is known to gamers as a time to get more information on upcoming releases. While we're anticipating lots of big news from Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony in the weeks ahead, that doesn't mean there won't be some actual game releases to sink our teeth into.

Before getting to the list, there are a couple of items of note, starting with the long-anticipated arrival of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, which lands on both consoles on June 3. Also, DAVE THE DIVER gets some DLC with "In the Jungle" on June 18. With that out of the way, here are my top 10 video games that are coming out in June:

10) Copa City

A nontraditional soccer game where instead of being a player or coach, you're an event organizer who can manage facilities, create infrastructure, provide security, and more.

9) Hollowbody

Released on PC in 2024, Hollowbody is a retro-survival-horror game that promises all the usual genre tropes like limited resources and environmental puzzles in addition to shooting stuff. There's a fun PS1-era aesthetic at work here.

8) Dead or Alive 6 Last Round

An updated version of 2019's Dead or Alive 6, Last Round features updated graphics, five fighters previously available as bonuses or DLC, and a photo mode for, well, you know.

7) Solarpunk

A survival game with a twist as instead of navigating some dystopian future or calamitous past, Solarpunk is set in an advanced world comprised of floating islands. Construction, farming, and exploration await.

6) EA Sports UFC 6

The sixth entry in EA Sports' Ultimate Fighting Championship series, and first since 2023, arrives this month. Past versions have largely done a solid job of making the combat sport entertaining. Let's see if they integrate TKO's relentless branding and cross-promotion for added authenticity.

5) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

An RPG that looks like Octopath Traveler from Square? Say less.

4) Star Fox

A full remake of Star Fox 64 for the Nintendo Switch 2 is landing late in June, revisiting the series' apex. It's been a long dry spell for Star Fox fans; let's hope this can recapture what made the 1997 version so enjoyable.

3) NBA THE RUN

This looks like a spiritual successor to NBA Street and, to a lesser extent, NBA Jam. Here's hoping it fares better than the underwhelming NBA Playgrounds titles.

2) Hell Let Loose: Vietnam

This is a tactical, 50-versus-50 online multiplayer where communication and strategy are key to success. The original, set in World War II, is rock solid. A switch to Vietnam and its rich jungle environments is oozing with potential.

1) Gothic 1 Remake

Another full remake. This time, it's the 2001 RPG Gothic that's getting the treatment. While the original never hooked me the way The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind did, I'm still interested to see what developer Alkimia Interactive does with an open-world title from that same time.
