Greg Redd -

June 2022, we're heading to the halfway point of the year already, and there's still a lot of gaming to be done. Mid-Summer north of the equator means big summer releases for the holidays. Here's a short list quick look at some of the titles set to release this month.

Silt

You control both your diver and other sea creatures which you can possess. The creepy adventure’s environments are gorgeously drawn in black and white and the soundscapes and visuals are subtly inspired by filmmaker David Lynch.

(Android, IOS, PC) - June 2

A game nobody wanted nor expected when it first got announced at 2018’s BlizzCon, Diablo Immortal now seems closer to an authentic Diablo experience than what fans thought it would be. Initially a mobile-only project, Immortal is now getting a PC release too, and the latest trailers and previews show its visuals and gameplay to be on par with previous core entries of the franchise.
