But First, a Flashback: Resident Evil 8 Was Late Spring’s Game Highlight

We can’t dive into summer without giving a much-deserved shout-out to one of Spring’s hottest games. May brought the Resident Evil franchise back to life, which literally blossomed with its 8th chapter Resident Evil: Village. Just after its release date, the sales numbers went through the roof. It was even proclaimed to be the best RE game of all time. And many modders took customization into their own hands, making the game even scarier. So if you haven’t tried it already, rest assured there is plenty to keep you on the edge of your seat in this new Resident Evil release.

Some of the Best New PC Games Releases in June

Summer is starting off with magic and mana in the air. The Elder Scrolls Online will get its long-awaited expansion, Gates of Oblivion (Blackwood). So get ready to chase elves in the woods and fight ancient demons in this massive open-world game! Not into fantasy?

Don’t worry, there’s plenty more on the horizon for PC gamers this summer. Let’s see what’s in store.

Operation: Tango

Operation: Tango is a unique and atmospheric co-op game that takes you into the fascinating world of spies. This game is all about teamwork and communication between 2 players. Play as the charming spy, Angel or the brainy IT geek, Alister. Together, they are tasked to infiltrate various environments and complete multiple challenging missions. Angel is working in the field, thus her perspective is much different from Alister’s who is busy with solving multiple puzzles in an attempt to provide his fellow spy with valuable information. The game will definitely be loved by indie fans and those gamers who prefer co-op gameplay.
