June 2017 Video Game Releases
(Week One: 6/1 – 6/3)
June kicks things off strong with a highly anticipated fighter that changes things up to bring a classic series back to the forefront of its genre. Tekken 7 launches on the PS4 and Xbox One on Friday, June 2 and introduces new mechanics, a faster, more fluid fighting engine, and Street Fighter’s resident demon, Akuma. The powerful fighter isn’t just there for show either. He’s been worked to feel familiar to fans of the Street Fighter series while also fitting in perfectly into Tekken’s mechanics. The developers even worked him into the story. For those not into fighting games, or prefer to game on PC, Formula Fusion brings anti-gravity racing reminiscent of Wipeout to the PC.
