00:02June 2026 is shaping up to be quite a month.

00:05I don't know how big your backlog is, but it's about to get bigger.

00:08And every month we round up the biggest upcoming games that we're most likely to talk about.

00:13I'm not necessarily telling you you're going to love every one of these games,

00:16but then again, any of them could end up being your next favorite game.

00:18I don't know. Hi, folks, it's Falcon.

00:20Join the 1% Club and get the truly unhinged stuff.

00:23Today on Gameranx, the top 10 new games of June 2026.

00:27Starting off at number 10, we have got Killer Bean.

00:30Frankly, a game that sounds like a bet of some kind.

00:34Like I bet I could make this game and release it and people will talk about it.

00:38I don't know.

00:39It is about a bean who kills other beans.

00:42It's kind of like a John Wick, but a bean type game.

00:46You know, expansive genre.

00:48Lots of John Wick, but bean type games.

00:51But yeah, this kind of came out of like some cult internet animation weirdness.

00:56And now it kind of looks like Max Payne by way of John Wick.

01:00Also, bean.

01:01The story is straight up action movie nonsense.

01:04Killer Bean is betrayed by the Shadow Agency.

01:07So now he's blasting his way through a criminal underworld made of beans.

01:11All of them are beans.

01:12I don't know. This is just a crazy looking game to me.

01:14It looks like it's actually pretty damn good.

01:16It's been play tested and people have given some pretty positive feedback.

01:20But now they're fully entering early access on June 8th.

01:24And I think I'm not alone when I say I'm going to flick the bean.

01:28I don't get to say that very much.

01:30I don't have a bean in that respect.

01:32So I'm taking the bean by the horns.

01:34Hey, so getting YouTube videos out there just seems to be getting harder.

01:38I've pointed a finger at shorts quite a bit.

01:41And I do think that's a big thing.

01:43But also, the algorithm does some crazy stuff.

01:45So if you want to do us a big favor and make sure that you see all of our videos,

01:49enable notifications.

01:51At number nine, we have Star Fox coming to Nintendo Switch 2.

01:54Which is completely insane to say.

01:57It is a full remake of Star Fox 64.

02:00Which I don't want to get into the remake-ception that is the Star Fox series.

02:03I'm just psyched that they've stopped trying to make quote unquote different games.

02:08By rebooting here at Star Fox 64, Nintendo is saying this is Star Fox.

02:13So any future Star Fox games we can expect to follow this.

02:18See, if this was just a re-release with an up-res and maybe some better character models or character

02:23art,

02:24it wouldn't be that.

02:25But by fully remaking it, putting all their attention into it, and adding narrative cutscenes,

02:30what they're saying is that this is Star Fox.

02:34And I absolutely, I know it's controversial, but I love the character models.

02:38They look like the old puppets from the Star Fox Super Nintendo era commercials.

02:43And the box art.

02:45And when I say they look like it, I mean they look a lot like it.

02:48Like they have that grotesque late 80s, early 90s puppet look.

02:51And I just, I love it.

02:53I'm so on board for this Star Fox remake.

02:56It's exactly what Nintendo needed to do with the franchise.

02:58And then they need to follow it up later with a game that follows this formula,

03:03but gives us new stuff.

03:04That is the promise of the Star Fox Switch 2 remake.

03:07I cannot see how they wouldn't deliver on this.

03:10I mean, it's a fantastic game and they're preserving all the level layouts.

03:13It's hard for me to imagine them screwing this up,

03:16especially after like hinting at it by dropping Fox into the Mario Galaxy movie.

03:21They've been thinking about this a while.

03:22I'm super excited for Star Fox.

03:24It's coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on June 25th.

03:29At number eight is Hollow Body.

03:31What is being called a tech noir survival horror game.

03:34It's a game that came out on PC back in 2024,

03:37but it's going to be landing on consoles this month.

03:40It's basically a love letter to early 2000 survival war.

03:43It's got fixed and dynamic camera angles, limited resources, environmental puzzles, grimy apartments, which, yeah, that's basically what those games

03:52were back then.

03:53You're somebody who is looking for her missing partner in a sealed off exclusion zone in an abandoned British city.

04:01The console version is also arriving feature complete with all of the post launch PC updates, including optional puzzles, some

04:08new locations, more lore, some quality of life fixes and a third person camera mode, as well as I'm sure

04:14some other things.

04:15That's good news, because honestly, it's pretty damn interesting game.

04:19Hollow Body is landing on PS4 and Xbox series June 4th.

04:24Man, number seven is NBA The Run, basically a spiritual successor to NBA Street.

04:30It's kind of the game a lot of people have been begging for amidst, you know, badge grindy realism fests

04:38that aren't really that realistic.

04:39They're just very, I guess, in a lot of ways, tedious.

04:42The Run is a fast paced online three versus three street basketball game that has cranked up the arcade, which

04:50just let me go ahead and say that's what a basketball game needs.

04:54I know there are people that really like the heavy simulation stuff, but I miss NBA Street and NBA Jam

05:00for that matter.

05:01There's a little bit of that in the sauce.

05:03There's sort of a four round tournament that goes on during the course of the game, but really the appeal

05:08is the gameplay.

05:09The arcade basketball energy has just basically vanished.

05:13And every sports game, not just basketball, but every sports game is like an annualized economy simulator where a lot

05:20of the time is spent in menus.

05:22For me, a $30 arcade basketball game launching outside that machine, I'm there.

05:27NBA The Run is landing on PC, PS5 and Xbox series June 9th.

05:33Man, number six, we've got EA Sports UFC 6, which is kind of the other end of the spectrum.

05:38We did just dump a bit on sports games for being annualized roster economies, more or less.

05:44It's important to note that UFC 6 is not an annual release.

05:47The last mainline game was UFC 5, which came out in October of 2023.

05:54Doesn't automatically mean it's safe from a lot of EA nonsense, but I actually do think the UFC games justify

06:01themselves.

06:02A, by not doing it annually and B, actually adding and making the games more interesting or at least something

06:10else.

06:11The big feature they've been talking about for this one is called Flow States, which is a new system built

06:16around making fighters more distinct from one another.

06:19EA says there's 30 unique fighter flow states in the game, which they sort of tie into counters, grappling and

06:27all that stuff, which I do like the idea of each player feeling more distinct.

06:31It's not like UFC has a huge problem with that in previous games, but I definitely like that it's something

06:37they're going further with here.

06:39These are generally pretty good games. UFC 6 is landing on PS5 and Xbox series June 19th.

06:47At number five is Witchspire, an open-world co-op witch adventure from Envar Games.

06:53It kind of asks the question, what if Valheim but witches?

06:56You get the whole broomstick fantasy, the survival crafting, and you get familiars and magic combat and all that stuff.

07:03The basic loop is exploration, gathering of resources, crafting gear, fighting monsters, leveling up, customizing a skill tree, and building

07:12up a base, or as it's called here, a sanctuary.

07:15The additional thing is kind of Familiars. It's kind of like Pokemon, except not quite.

07:21Like, Persona technically is a game about familiars, or if you've ever played Ni No Kuni.

07:27It's not as though it's not entirely removed from Pokemon, but it's not exactly the same thing as Pokemon either.

07:32Pokemon is certainly actually derived from the concept of familiars, or at least I think it is.

07:36Doesn't matter. The game is hitting early access on June 10th for PC, and it does look like a kind

07:43of Xbox fable-adjacent affair.

07:46Although, granted, it's not that. It's definitely a different kind of game, but it's got that feel to it, you

07:52know?

07:52Or at least hopefully it does. We'll see when it comes out. Which it does on Steam June 10th.

07:57At number four, it's Kappa City. A football manager sim, or maybe more accurately, an economic strategy game.

08:05More an event management simulator than the direct football management.

08:09You're neither the coach nor the player, but the organizer of the event.

08:14You basically handle everything going in. So you need to have the venue set up, you need to have snacks

08:20available,

08:21the restrooms working, you should ideally be prepared for riots, that type of stuff.

08:27Crowd control. It's an interesting game. It's not what normally is focused on with these types of things.

08:32But hey, you're in Rio de Janeiro, and you're creating the atmosphere for the game.

08:37Games landing on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series June 16th.

08:42At number three is Solar Punk. A survival game that takes place in what is technically an advanced world,

08:47rather than a primitive one where you wake up in your underwear.

08:51You build sky bases, grow food, craft gadgets, automate systems, and explore distant islands with an airship.

08:57You can play it in single player or in co-op, and it looks pretty damn cool.

09:01So it's kind of like a survival game if you throw in some satisfactory a bit.

09:08And also the top layer of Tears of the Kingdom's world, the floating islands, I guess.

09:13It is an extremely different looking game for a survival game.

09:17I don't think it's going to blow you away with its graphics or anything.

09:20Kind of cartoony, but it's a lot cozier than you would expect a survival game.

09:25I'm not sure if I would say that it comes off like Stardew Valley necessarily, but I also think that's

09:31somewhere in the recipe.

09:32Solar Punk is landing on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2 June 8th.

09:39At number two, it's the Gothic 1 remake.

09:41THQ Nordic and Alchemia Interactive are rebuilding the 2001 cult classic entirely,

09:48which brings you back to the Valley of the Mines, a prison colony where societies collapsed into factions,

09:54there's labor exploitation, and basically nobody likes you.

09:58The original Gothic was legendary because it was hostile, reactive, and very alive, albeit pretty janky.

10:04NPCs had routines, factions were a big thing, the world did not care how you were interacting with it,

10:11it was going to do what it was going to do, and this remake is promising a faithful but modernized

10:16open world RPG.

10:17Now, by modernized, it doesn't seem like they secretly mean we removed all the personality and added lots of icons.

10:26It seems like the personality is being retained, which is good, and also they're building on top of it.

10:32There's some expanded, underused locations, there's some new side quests, orc culture is apparently fleshed out.

10:39So rather than taking away, it seems like there's a little bit of addition, and the additions seem to be

10:44in the visuals and the quality of life.

10:46I'm super interested in what the hell this is, and I'm absolutely playing it when it launches on June 5th

10:51on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series.

10:55And finally, at number one, it's Hell Let Loose Vietnam, a shifting of the series from World War II to

11:01the Vietnam War.

11:02It doesn't change what Hell Let Loose is, you got the massive battles, the teamwork, the communication, 50 versus 50

11:10tactical warfare.

11:11However, the setting of the Vietnam War is far more asymmetrical.

11:16Like, the U.S. vastly outstripped Vietnam in terms of power.

11:21Helicopters, explosive munitions, I mean, the whole military industrial complex.

11:27Whereas, uh, Vietnam essentially fought guerrilla warfare against us, and won, historically speaking.

11:33I'm not sure if that's how it goes in this game.

11:36I'm sure it goes one way or the other quite often, on account of their 50 versus 50 battles, and

11:41it's an ongoing thing.

11:43But, to me, that's perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this.

11:47It's just that Vietnam is a completely different war than World War II.

11:51One that forces kind of a different kind of game, despite it really not being a different kind of game.

11:56Again, retaining basically everything that makes Hell Let Loose, Hell Let Loose.

12:00I'm pretty excited for and interested in exactly how this works, because you don't really have this kind of scale

12:07in an asymmetrical sense that often in terms of online shooters.

12:11A lot of the time, the asymmetrical stuff is restricted to the, you know, like, Freddy or Big Monster or

12:17whatever, versus some survivors or tacticians of some sort.

12:22Hell Let Loose Vietnam is landing on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series, June 18th.

12:28And I do have some bonus games for you.

12:30First, Day of the Diver in the Jungle, which sends Dave and the crew to the village of Utara, with

12:35a new grill focused on freshwater cuisine.

12:38A pretty healthy add-on, in my opinion, for Day of the Diver, a game that people really do enjoy.

12:43And then, perhaps on the other end of things, that being a ten-hour DLC, Xbox and Switch 2 are

12:50getting Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which is, of course, an irresponsible amount of content.

12:55We love calling this an irresponsible game.

12:58It's so insane.

12:59And, let's be clear, they need to make the money so that they can make this third game.

13:05Exclusivity, just not a clever idea, honestly, was such a massive, irresponsibly budgeted game with so much work put into

13:12it.

13:12That's landing on Switch 2, June 3rd.

13:15And there's a bunch of cool stuff this month. What do you think?
