Upcoming Releases and Elden Ring DLC
Happy Monday! Yes, I wrote that with total sincerity. We all deserve a happy Monday – perhaps video games can help with that. As you'd expect, Elden Ring's recently released Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC remains this week's Big Kahuna.

However, there are still some intriguing new releases to look forward to this week:
- Monday 24th June: Bone-throwing dungeon solitaire
Dice & Fold . - Tuesday 25th June: The remake of mystical 90s point-and-clicker

Here at the RPS Treehouse, we'll be spending much of the week immersed in Elden Ring's Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC. Additionally, we'll be exploring a co-op anime shooter (details under wraps), revisiting long-forgotten Aliens games, and possibly indulging in a stylized retro FPS or two. While this might seem like a sparse lineup, the sheer depth of Elden Ring's latest DLC ensures there's plenty to keep us occupied. Even the most voracious gaming appetites need time to savor and digest such rich content.
