Microsoft has revealed the lineup of free games coming to Xbox in June as a part of its monthly Games With Gold program, including the return of Destroy All Humans!... but not the Destroy All Humans! remake coming later this year. The following games will be available to download for free for Xbox Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/26/xbox-june-2020-games-with-gold-trailer"]

• Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse ($19.99 ERP): Available June 1 to 30 on Xbox One
• Coffee Talk ($13.99 ERP): Available June 16 to July 15 on Xbox One
• Destroy All Humans! ($19.99 ERP): Available June 1 to 15 on Xbox One & Xbox 360
• Sine Mora ($9.99 ERP): Available June 16 to 30 on Xbox One & Xbox 360

While THQ Nordic is set to release a Destroy All Humans! remake on July 28, the inclusion above is the originally released Xbox version for those itching to take over humanity and just can't wait for the remake. IGN's original Destroy All Humans! review called the adventure "a very basic box of good and bad free-roaming shooting," which "boasts terrific personality, a great premise and some generally solid action." Games With Gold will also offer Shantae and the Pirate's Curse for free in June, which originally released in 2014 and was praised in IGN's review as as adventure that "succeeds by building a funny, gorgeous world around its tried and true Metroidvania gameplay." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=23-best-xbox-game-pass-games&captions=true"] Coffee Talk is the newest game on this month's list of free games, a '90s adventure game-inspired journey that offers "players friendly conversation and late-night warm drinks to the colourful and fantastical inhabitants of alternative-Seattle including elves, aliens, and orcs." Lastly, Sine Mora is a side-scrolling shooter with time-manipulation gameplay thrown into the mix. IGN's original Sine Mora review earned the game a 9, as we said "With a relatively manageable Story Mode and a ridiculously difficult Arcade Mode, pilots of all skill levels should check out Sine Mora.

No more delays! At long last, we're playing The Last of Us Part 2, and we'll post our review – written by our own Jonathon Dornbush – tonight, on Friday, June 12, at 12:01AM Pacific Time. That's almost a full week before it the whole world gets to play on Friday, June 19 (or Thursday, June 18, depending on where you are/how late you like to stay up) – you'll have plenty of time to read, watch, and make your informed decision about if and when to jump in yourself. As you can see from the slideshow below, there's good reason to be excited whenever Naughty Dog releases a new game. Between the Uncharted series and the original The Last of Us (among others!) it's earned a reputation as one of the crown jewels of Sony's first-party development studios. We're hoping that hot streak continues with The Last of Us Part 2, and that one of the last big games of the generation sends the PS4 out with a bang!

We at IGN are happy to reveal the schedule for our Summer of Gaming event in June, including our brand new IGN Expo showcase, where we’ll debut exclusive game reveals, trailers, gameplay demos, and more. We’re also excited to announce a series of charity events, and special Icons segments featuring interviews with iconic developers about some of the world’s most influential games.

Introducing IGN Expo

We’ve got a packed month of game reveals to bring you, not least with three days of IGN Expo, our own showcase for exclusive announcements and reveals from developers across the industry, taking place on June 5, 8 and 9. IGN Expo will come alongside other announcements and shows from our partners across the industry throughout the month, including the likes of CD Projekt Red, Blizzard and Xbox - all accompanied by our team’s expert analysis in pre and post show coverage. You’ll want to check out our full schedule for all the announcements, but over the month we’ll be bringing you everything from Cyberpunk 2077 details, to next-gen footage, to brand new game reveals, to exclusive footage from the likes of Wasteland 3, New World, Samurai Jack: Battle for Time and much, much more. You can check out the entire schedule at the bottom of this story, and in the slideshow below – but remember that it’s evolving, with new games and developers joining the roster all the time. We can also say that you’ll see the likes of Arcade1Up, Blizzard, EA, Facebook/Oculus, Google Stadia, Square Enix, Ubisoft and Xbox appearing as part of Summer of Gaming, but those showings have not yet had their dates confirmed. Make sure to check back regularly for all the latest additions. Story continues below schedule images.

IGN's Summer of Gaming Charity Events

As part of our Summer of Gaming programming, we’ll be raising money through charitable donations in support of the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. We’ll have a number of charity-specific segments to both entertain and inspire you, including Animal Crossing: Celebrity Island Tours, which will include some of the biggest names in pop culture, taking fans inside the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons to explore guests’ unique islands in a day-long live stream. Animal Crossing: Celebrity Island Tours will include special segments of the hit talk show Animal Talking with host and creator Gary Whitta (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Book of Eli), which streams on his Twitch channel and can be watched in VOD on his YouTube channel. Guests for this charity live stream include Candice Patton, Simu Liu, Felicia Day, Shannon Woodward, Cliff Bleszinski, Matthew Mercer, Austin Creed, Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast and more. The second event, a pre-show Speedrunner Countdown Challenge, will take place at the beginning of each day of IGN’s showcase and pits the world’s greatest speedrunners in a race against time as they strive to break world records live as part of our countdown to Summer of Gaming programming. Speedrunners participating include heyZeusHeresToast playing Bloodborne, tomatoangus playing every main-line Fallout game, Bryonato playing Titanfall 2, LilAggy playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Biinny playing Super Mario 64, alongside many more. The pre-show Speedrunner Countdown Challenge will feature in-depth commentary provided by the speedrun charity organization Games Done Quick. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks about these two exciting events.

Icons Month

IGN’s recently begun bringing you brand new features along a set theme every month – so far we’ve covered gaming's greatest urban legends and stories from behind the development curtain – and June is pretty special, as we kick off Icons month. We’ll be bringing you interviews, retrospectives and hot takes from some of the industry’s most iconic figures (or franchises!) throughout June - and we’re making many of them part of our Summer of Gaming live event. Make sure to check out our schedule to see when and how you can check out our exclusive interviews with legends like John and Brenda Romero, David Hayter, Brian Fargo, and Chris Avellone.

Lucasfilm has delayed the launch of its cross-media Star Wars prequel series, The High Republic, until January 2021. Announced on StarWars.com, the delay comes asa result of "recent world events" (read: COVID-19). As a result, all three announced High Republic products have been delayed from their original 2020 release dates. Charles Soule's adult novel Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi, and Justina Ireland's middle-grade novel Star Wars: The High Republic: A Test of Courage will both see release on January 5, 2021. Claudia Gray's young adult-focused Star Wars: The High Republic: Into the Dark will follow on February 2. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/27/star-wars-the-high-republic-explained"] Announcements of release dates for Marvel's The High Republic comic series, and IDW Publishing’s Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures series will follow at a later date. Lucasfilm Publishing creative director Michael Siglain penned an open letter to fans, explaining the delay by saying it is to "ensure that the launch is as grand and epic as it deserves to be." "Now, I know that waiting isn't easy", Siglain continues. "And I know fans have been excited for this since it was first announced. I'm right there with you. I've also been waiting to tell this story for years. And while I can't say much about it, I can tell you that our story architects – Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Doniel Jose Older, Cavan Scott, and Charles Soule – are continuing to work away on this new era of stories. You'll hear from them this summer, and when you do, be sure to ask them about "The Hero of Hetzal," "the twins," the "Blade of Bardotta," the Starros and San Tekka clans, and the Storms. You're not going to believe what they've got in store for the Jedi and the Republic." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=star-wars-the-high-republic-publishing-initiative-novels-books-and-comics&captions=true"] The High Republic era is set roughly 200 years before any current canon Star Wars media, and will focus on the Golden Age of the Jedi. It will also reveal a dark event known as the Great Disaster and see the Jedi confront an enemy called the Nihil. We've got an explainer on everything there is to know about The High Republic, an explanation as to why lightsabers were different in that era, and a reveal of 5 new Jedi knights and masters.

You're not going to believe what they've got in store for the Jedi and the Republic."

It will also reveal a dark event known as the Great Disaster and see the Jedi confront an enemy called the Nihil. We've got an explainer on everything there is to know about The High Republic, an explanation as to why lightsabers were different in that era, and a reveal of 5 new Jedi knights and masters. Here's how to help and stay safe during the coronavirus outbreak. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News. Follow him on Twitter.

Hello Games and Microsoft have revealed that No Man's Sky will be released on Xbox Game Pass in June 2020. Announced on Xbox Wire, Xbox Game Pass members will soon be able to play in No Man's Sky "infinite, procedurally-generated" universe with "over 10 million Xbox Game Pass members." No Man's Sky was originally released on PlayStation 4 and PC in August 2016 before arriving on Xbox One in July 2018. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/07/no-mans-sky-exo-mech-update-official-reveal-trailer"] In our original review, we said "No Man's Sky reaches for the stars but falls short by light years. It's amazingly big, but too often poorly designed." However, since then, Hello Games has provided regular free updates that have improved the gameplay experience, including the massive Beyond and Next updates and additions such as VR, multiplayer, new alien races, Exo-Mechs, and so much more. Hello Games, even though they have announced another game in The Last Campfire, are still committed to supporting this game for the foreseeable future, so Xbox Game Pass subscribers will have plenty to look forward to. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=games-that-came-back-from-the-brink-of-disaster&captions=true"] Hello Games will also be bringing the Windows 10 PC version of No Man's Sky to the Microsoft Store in June as well. No Man's Sky made it on the list of the 9 Games That Made a Major Comeback, a list that includes other games like Star Wars: Battlefront II and Final Fantasy XIV.
