This episode of New Releases is taking an overall look at June, and the new month is bookended by free-to-play games. Riot Games' Valorant is leaving beta for its full release as the month begins, and the cartoony Ninjala arrives as the month wraps up. June also brings us two major remasters: SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated and the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection. Last but certainly not least, the long-anticipated Last of Us Part 2 is finally launching soon.

Now Playing: Top New Video Game Releases On Switch, PS4, Xbox One, And PC This Month -- June 2020

The beta is over by the time you're reading this, but Valorant will be free-to-play for everyone soon. The team shooter pits attackers and defenders each other in a series of rounds, and each characters' unique abilities can totally turn the tide of battle. It's also important to note that ranks will reset for the full launch, so any beta progress you might have won't carry over.

There's not much to say about The Last of Us Part 2, and not just because the game has been largely kept under wraps. We know that it focuses on a revenge-seeking Ellie, and you should expect a mix of nail-biting stealth, brutal combat, and deep weapon crafting and customization. Ellie also has new traversal options up her sleeve for exploring the game's variety of environments.
