June Game Releases (2017)
June is looking like it will be a bit of a dead month for new releases. A lot of this can be attributed to the juggernaut that is E3 being slated for smack in the middle of the month. E3 aside, I only found 3 major releases this month alongside a couple of big game ‘expansions’. To help you narrow down your purchases or no purchases, check out the noteworthy June game releases for 2017 below.
