It can't really be that time again, can it? It can't actually be time to flip the calendar over to yet another new month, surely?
Ordinarily, it would be easy to pull the wool over our own eyes and sit snugly in a comfy chair, enjoying the warmth enveloping our head and eyeballs while carefully considering which hot beverage to concoct, but here's the thing: We simply can't ignore the flapping and flittering sounds of the Butterflies of Anticipation at the windows, doors, vents, and... well, just about everywhere. It's a good thing that they're here, though, because it's just about time to discover what new and exciting indie games we can look forward to in June - that is why they're here, after all. Everybody knows that.
Which of these upcoming indie games have caught our attention at first blush? We've collected together seven of our most anticipated games of June 2019, and laid them out below in order of release date, with a keen video for you to enjoy, too!
