After a turbulent development, Zynga and NaturalMotion are ready to put their third-person Star Wars combat game into the hands of fans. Star Wars: Hunters is a game that sees players suiting up as a variety of characters from a galaxy far, far away to fight it out in a collection of memorable and recognisable battlegrounds.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Switch) - June 14

Sega has been in the habit as of late of improving and expanding many of its established games with an additional variant that brings a slate of extra features and content. This is once again the case with Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, a follow-up and expanded version of the Switch title that now includes an extra storyline to experience, more demons to master and fight, new locations to explore, and various graphical and performance improvements to suit the title's arrival on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles too.

Monster Hunter Stories (PC, PS4, Switch) - June 14

The Monster Hunter series has become an absolute behemoth for Capcom but with it being a long-running franchise with countless entries over the years, there's a very real chance you have never had the chance to play the RPG that kicked everything off. This June will change that as Monster Hunter Stories is making its return in a remastered format now fit with fully voiced characters and dialogue. This game is built and tailored to newer players and is the perfect jumping on point of the series to prepare for next year's big Monster Hunter Wilds.

Still Wakes the Deep (PC, PS5, Xbox Series) - June 18

Developer The Chinese Room is taking players to an unsettling dilapidated oil rig this month when Still Wakes the Deep makes its arrival. This game is set in the 1970s on an offshore oil rig based in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland and sees players attempting to escape and flee a supernatural threat that has begun to consume the industrial structure. Needless to say, this is going to be a very unsettling and freaky experience when it debuts on PC and current-gen consoles.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series) - June 21

It isn't very often that an expansion for a video game becomes arguably the biggest and most exciting launch of the month, but that's precisely what Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree is set to be for many. Taking players back to the Lands Between, this expansion brings an all-new story to experience, a collection of new enemies to face in battle, new weapons and equipment to earn, and a host of additional dungeons to complete. For anyone looking for more adventuring in FromSoftware's fantasy world, this is the perfect way to continue that experience.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch) - June 27

While we're still holding our breath for the fourth mainline instalment into the Luigi's Mansion series, this June will end by seeing Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon remastered and touched up to suit the Nintendo Switch. Known as Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, this game brings back the beloved adventure game and sees the green-hatted plumber sucking up spectres around the Evershade Valley while hunting for the shattered pieces of the Dark Moon that once hung in the sky.

That about does it. We'll be back in a month's time to see what July 2024 is bringing to the table for gamers around the world.
