This week's new-release roundup from 4Gamer.net covers two titles that target different genres but share a mid-June launch window. Square Enix's Adventurer Elliot's Millennium Story, arriving June 18 on consoles and June 19 on Steam, is the studio's first original action RPG built in the HD-2D style, following remakes of Live A Live, Dragon Quest III, and Octopath Traveler. The game casts players as the adventurer Elliot, who wields seven weapons and a fairy partner's magic to explore the barbarian-overrun world of Filevirdia. A weapon-customization system lets players equip magic stones to two weapons at a time.
On the simulation side, Copa City launches June 17 on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The game puts players in the role of a City Captain who organizes major soccer events, balancing infrastructure, transport, and fan zones across 14-day preparation cycles while managing funds, experts, and volunteers.
