Sunday, June 14th 2026 This Week in Gaming (Week 25) by TheLostSwede Today, 03:22 Discuss (1 Comment) Welcome to midsummer week and a tad slower week when it comes to new releases. This week's major release is an anime inspired APRG set in its own universe. If that's not your style, then the week kicks off with some underground drilling, followed by driving cars in a city and a salvage operation. We round the week off with a new RPG from Square Enix and a job interview from your worst nightmares. Zenless Zone Zero / This week's major release / Wednesday 17 June Zenless Zone Zero is HoYoverse's brand-new urban fantasy ARPG. Players act as "Proxies" who explore Hollows alongside a wide range of unique Agents, fighting enemies, and completing commissions on their journey to unveil the mysteries behind New Eridu. Steam link MOLE / Monday 15 June Pilot the MOLE, a monstrous post-war drilling machine built to descend deep below the Slavic soil. Fix failing systems, follow voices of the dead, and pray you can survive whatever is sharing your coffin. Will the vessel or your mind break first? Steam link City Car Driving 2.0 / Early access / Tuesday 16 June City Car Driving 2.0 is a driving simulator designed to help novice drivers master driving in a setting as close to reality as possible.
