Looking forward to the next big video game release? We have E3 rolling up soon but for now we do know some great anticipated video game titles releasing this summer. This list may increase with E3 as the expo has been proven to deliver some surprising video game titles during the press conferences. Until we get to sit in on the E3 press conferences, here are a few video game titles you may be interested in that’s coming out in the next few months.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
- Developer: Beenox
- Publisher: Activision
- Platforms: PS4, XBO, NS
- Release: June 21, 2019
There are several fun little racing games but when it comes to kart racers, most would recognize the Mario Kart series. Back during the days of the original PlayStation, there was another kart racer that easily caused some competition towards the Nintendo kart racing exclusive. Based on the popular Crash Bandicoot franchise, developers Naughty Dog offered gamers a chance to take the cast of characters in a kart racer that proved to be an excellent title.
Now gamers can relive the experiences they had originally but with the latest platforms. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is a remaster of the Crash Team Racing video game which will be built up with new assets along with new content such as tracks, kart customization, and online play. This game was announced during The Game Awards so we don’t have a plethora of information about it right now, especially during the coverage of this article, but we imagine there won’t be anything too drastically different from when the game first released.
Judgment
- Developer: Sega
- Publisher: Sega
- Platforms: PS4
- Release: June 25, 2019
Judgment is the upcoming video game being developed under the team that is responsible for the Yakuza series and this particular title is a spin-off from that franchise. Set within the same world, players will follow a detective who is on journey to discover the meaning behind a series of murder cases. Combat will follow the same style as the Yakuza series with players going in a more brawler style of fighting. This title became a bit infamous in Japan already after the actor who portrayed a main character was caught up in legal trouble, leading the game to be pulled from shelves. However, this title is still coming out worldwide in June.
Dragon Quest Builders 2
- Developer: Square Enix
- Publisher: Square Enix

Dragon Quest Builders is a sandbox action RPG that’s set within the world of Alefgard. This is a more lighthearted adventure with similar visuals to titles such as Minecraft and Terraria. In the narrative, players are off to revive the world which has been flooded with monsters, however, in order to rebuild the world players must also seek out and manage resources.
The video game doesn’t feature a complex combat system like the main installments within the franchise. Furthermore, the title has since already launch on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita platforms whereas the PlayStation 3 version of the game remains a Japanese exclusive. It was only until this past year that Nintendo Switch owners were able to get a copy of this game but it looks like this won’t be the last installment to the Builder series of Dragon Quest. A sequel is currently in the works and its slated to launch within July of this year.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
- Developer: Intelligent Systems, Koei Tecmo
- Publisher: Nintendo
- Platforms: NS
- Release: July 26, 2019
A new installment to the Fire Emblem franchise is coming this year in July. The video game is set to take place on Fodlan which has been divided by three nations during a peacetime. Players will follow a former mercenary who is now teaching at an academy when our protagonist meets a girl that only they can see. This will still retain the tactical RPG gameplay that we’ve come to know from the franchise and it’s likely a game we’ll see quite heavily during Nintendo’s E3 Direct upload.
