Summer is here! I’m prepared for a lot of hot days trapped inside while drinking as much water as possible. At least we’ll have some big games to play while we hide from the heat. Stuff like Scarlet Nexus, The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Skatebird, Madden NFL 22, and Deathloop.
If you are someone who likes to beat the heat by going out to the pool or visiting the beach, well lucky for you, a bunch of Switch games are coming out this season too. A mix of ports, like Destroy All Humans, and brand new titles, like Mario Golf: Super Rush and Monster Hunter Stories 2. For folks who own hard-to-find consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, there aren’t a ton of next-gen exclusives, but at least all of these games will support backward compatibility. That’s something?
Overall, it’s another quiet summer, which isn’t much of a shocker. Summer tends to be a wasteland for big game releases. But that just gives you more time to focus on the few games that do release. Also, remember that games can and often do get delayed, so some stuff might slip out of summer. We’ll update this list as releases and delays get announced.
