Officially arriving on Steam, Journey is an award-winning indie gem that offers a relaxing, atmospheric experience that's hard to compare to anything else. You play as an anonymous robed traveller in a mysterious world, which can be explored alone or with another anonymous player you may encounter along the way. With gorgeous artwork and a beautiful soundtrack composed by Alex Wintory to accompany you, you'll drift and soar across pretty vistas to discover everything the setting has to offer. If you're looking for something that's a bit different to play and you've been holding off on giving Journey a go, you won't regret stepping into Thatgamecompany's uniquely profound adventure. 

What: Journey comes to Steam
Where: PC (Steam)
When: June 9

Project Warlock is a shooter that combines your standard weaponry with magic spells, but is most notable for being the work of an 18-year-old. Yes, at a time when we were all bunking off to play Final Fantasy and telling our parents we hated them, Jakub Cislo, developed a whole ass game while still attending high school. The game was released on PC in 2018 but comes to PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch this week. 

What: Project Warlock
Where: Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One
When: June 9-12

4. Artemis Fowl is coming to Disney Plus instead of cinemas – and that’s a big deal

Artemis Fowl is A) an honest-to-god actual new movie – a rarity in recent months – and B) a change in how Disney is approaching its releases. Both are just as important, though the latter could end up sending shockwaves through the industry.

First, the movie: an adaptation of the first book in an eight-part series by Irish author Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl sees Artemis Fowl II, the latest in a long, long line of Fowl criminals, searching for his father. In a neat twist on the boy-looks-for-missing-parent trope, Daddy Fowl was kidnapped by fairies for his role in stealing something that, shock horror, didn’t belong to him.

It’s all set to offer some entertaining family-friendly fare, while potentially kick-starting a franchise – but its success could also mean Disney moves towards putting more of its mid-budget titles straight to Disney Plus. As if you needed another reason to settle in front of the sofa this week.

What: Artemis Fowl
Where: Disney Plus
When: June 12

Taking place on Sunday, June 13, The Future Games Show is an all-digital event promising fresh looks at all kinds of upcoming games, including trailer reveals, developer interviews, and much more.
