New video game releases: June 27-July 3

Welcome everyone, and happy Monday! It’s the start of a new week, which means we have tons of new games in store. Whether you’re into off-road racing or you crave a challenging action platformer, there’s a new video game release for you. So, let’s dive in and look at all the new games coming out this week.

Disgaea 6 Complete (June 28)

Kicking things off this week, we have Disgaea 6 Complete. Since first launching last June, this strategy RPG was only available on Nintendo Switch in the United States. Now, thanks to NIS America, PlayStation and PC gamers can have a go at Nippon Ichi’s latest hit.

Disgaea 6 Complete also comes packed with every DLC character and cosmetic from the game’s season pass. Longtime fans will certainly recognize familiar faces from previous Disgaea games. You can pick up Disgaea 6 Complete tomorrow for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC.

DNF Duel (June 28)

Ready to get your hands dirty and duke it out with some good ol’ fighting in DNF Duel? If so, you’re in luck with this new video game release! Developed by Eighting and Arc System Works and published by Nexon, we’re just one day away from one of the most anticipated fighting games of the year.

This 2.5D anime fighter brings together fan-favorite characters from Dungeon Fighter Online into an epic competitive title. In addition, the game looks amazing with an art style that combines 3D cel-shaded character models with gorgeous artistic backdrops. You can enter the fight tomorrow on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Escape Academy (June 28)

If puzzle games are more your thing, then you’ll want to check out Escape Academy. In this colorful escape room simulator, you take on the role of a student at a school dedicated to teaching escape artists the tricks of the trade. Developed by Coin Crew Games, a team with a love for real-life escape rooms, this new title will bring the thrill of solving puzzles to find a way out to the world of video games.

In addition, you and a friend can experience the thrills of escaping together in split-screen co-op. Both local and online multiplayer allow for players to work together in split-screen. Why use split-screen for online multiplayer though? Although players adamantly look down on screen peeking for most games, it’s critical to solving puzzles together in this one. Escape Academy breaks out tomorrow for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.

Fobia – St. Dinfna Hotel (June 28)

Fobia – St. Dinfna Hotel is a survival horror title that leans heavily on time travel. Developed by Pulsatrix and published by Maximum Games, this chilling new title places you in the role of newbie journalist Roberto as you investigate the haunted St. Dinfna Hotel. As you run, hide and fight for survival, you’ll solve puzzles in the past, present and future of this horrifying hotel.

In addition, the game takes full advantage of the survival horror trope of resource management. As your inventory is severely limited, you’ll need to make split decisions between running and fighting the creatures that lurk in the dark. Fobia – St. Dinfna Hotel checks in tomorrow for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.

MX vs ATV Legends (June 28)

Kicking things into high-gear, we have MX vs ATV Legends. Developed by Rainbow Studios and published by THQ Nordic, this exciting racing game puts you in the driver’s seat of some seriously supped up off-road vehicles. Featuring massive open environments and a career mode that lets you blaze through the trials and tribulations of riding, your time is now to hit the trails.

During your career, you can make important choices and choose sponsors to grow your brand as you dig into the dirt to become a legend. In addition, the game offers two-player split-screen local multiplayer as well as massive 16-player online races. MX vs ATV Legends races into your home tomorrow on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.

Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course (June 30)

Then, on Thursday, Studio MDHR brings you some more retro platforming action with Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course. The brand new DLC to the critically acclaimed Cuphead introduces the clever new character Ms. Chalice as the team explores the undiscovered Inkwell Isle. The new land will offer players quite the challenge, as they go through environments ranging from an icy tundra to western plains.

In addition, the new DLC brings about new weapons and magical charms. Players can also harness a brand new set of abilities exclusive to Ms. Chalice. Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course jumps into your home on June 30 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak (June 30)

Another new expansion to look forward to is Capcom’s Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. The expansion pack to Monster Hunter Rise returns the jungle area from the second generation of Monster Hunter. Featuring dense wilderness, as well as beaches and ruins, this exciting new area features a complete overhaul on its design.

Additionally, Sunbreak adds a slew of new monsters to hunt that longtime fans should distinctly remember from previous games.
