Starting with Sony’s State of Play on June 2nd and ending with the Nintendo Direct on June 9th, we showed off dozens and dozens of games this month. Some were initial announcements while others were extended looks or updated trailers. Although there were plenty of new things for gamers to be interested in, there were also titles we were hoping to see but didn’t. Here are the five biggest mistakes.
5) grand theft auto vi
This was widely expected, and honestly, Rockstar doesn’t need to do much else to build hype for its pending November launch. GTA VI. Nevertheless, the game has already been delayed twice, first from 2025 to May 2026, and then to the current November 19, 2026. The most recent trailer came out a year ago. Theoretically a third trailer is on the way, but it would have been nice to see an updated proof of life for the most anticipated release of the year.
4) tides of destruction
First announced last February with a possible launch in 2026, it’s been a quiet year tides of destruction. That changed a bit late last month when a behind-the-scenes video was shown, followed by news of a hands-on event later this summer. These are small steps, however, and the fact that it didn’t make it into any gaming showcases all but guarantees that it won’t be coming out this year.
3) juda
From bioshock Producer Ken Levine, juda It was announced in late 2022. Nearly four years later, details are scarce, and any notion that it might launch in 2026 is long gone. We haven’t even gotten any developer logs this year, let alone new footage. At this point, it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing anything before The Game Awards in December.
2) Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra
there was some real news around rise of hydra Recently the release window has been pushed back again, this time to “earliest 2027.” While it’s disappointing that we’re now over two years in and we haven’t seen anything significant, there was at least some reassurance that the project hasn’t been cancelled.
1) Intergalactic: Heretic Prophet
Given Naughty Dog’s importance to Sony and its expanding mainstream profile courtesy of its HBO series the last of usIt boggles the mind to see how much the studio has disappeared from. studio released the last of us part ii In June 2020. Six years later, all we’ve seen is a handful of ports for the PlayStation 5 and its announcement. space. This was more than 18 months ago. We’re reaching a point where it’s fair to wonder whether we’ll even get an original Naughty Dog title for the PS5, or whether we’ll have to wait until the eventual PlayStation 6 for it space.
