Whether PC, Playstation, Switch or Xbox: Here you can find out which games you can look forward to in the coming month.

Not only the temperatures are rising, but also the following six games will heat you up in June.

"Diablo Immortal

The development of "Diablo Immortal" was not under a good star. The announcement at Blizzcon 2018 was met with boos. The fans wanted "Diablo IV" and not a mobile offshoot. In the meantime, however, the feedback from the beta phase sounds surprisingly positive. Even more surprising was the announcement that the game would also be released as an open beta for the PC at launch.

"Diablo Immortal" is set between "Diablo 2" and "Diablo 3", is free-to-play and offers the same hero classes as part 3. Those looking for more "Diablo" should find what they are looking for here.

When: June 2
Where: PC and Mobile

"Card Shark"

The makers of the "Reigns" series have the next unusual card game on offer with "Card Shark". This time, there's no left and right swiping à la Tinder. Instead, you'll uncover a conspiracy in 18th century France by cheating at cards in the most creative ways.

When: June 2
Where: PC and Switch

"The Cycle: Frontier"

"The Cycle: Frontier" combines battle royale elements with monster hunting, resource gathering and crafting. Developer Yager calls the whole thing PvPvE, meaning player vs. player vs. environment. You compete against enemy teams and fight computer-controlled monsters at the same time. I already had a lot of fun with it in the beta phase. Now the full release of the most voted free-to-play game on Steam is coming up.

When: June 8
Where: PC

"Mario Strikers: Battle League"

If "Fifa" has always been too correct for you and you'd prefer to go for the bloodbath without any consequences, then you can't miss "Mario Strikers: Battle League". The game is played in a manageable 5-against-5 setting. There are numerous special attacks, powerups and even equipment to customize your play style. In addition, there are various abilities that players can use to push each other. So a bit of tactics is also called for.

When: June 10
Where: Switch

"The Quarry".

It's the classic 80s horror movie setting. A cozy summer camp in the middle of nowhere, a group of horny teenagers and suddenly the bodily fluids start flowing - unfortunately the ones you'd rather keep inside. "The Quarry" follows the same gameplay as its predecessor "Until Dawn". You take turns controlling different protagonists through this hellish ride and ideally try to get them through the night alive. The game can end in countless ways, with a lot or little blood on your hands. Until Dawn" was already extremely nerve-wracking. With David Arquette ("Scream") Justice Smith ("Pokémon Detective Pikachu") and Lance Henriksen ("Alien") some well-known names have put on the motion-capturing suit.

When: June 10
Where: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X

"Starship Troopers: Terran Command"

Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi military spoof has long enjoyed cult status. Now the 1997 film, in which super attractive Space Marines fight giant insect aliens, is getting another game adaptation. "Starship Troopers: Terran Command" is a real-time strategy game in which the objective is to bring a planet under control. In doing so, you'll face off against huge hordes of ravenous creepy-crawlies, just like in the movie.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
