Press release:
Grand Rapids, Michigan – December 8th, 2023.
The Grand Rapids-based (Michigan, the US) award winning development studio FINJI (the developers behind “Overland” and “Canabalt”, and publisher of “TUNIC”, “Night in the Woods”, and “Chicory: A Colorful Tale”), today announced with great happiness and excitement that their beautiful third-person action adventure “Usual June“, is coming to PC via Steam in 2025 (as announced at the 2023 edition of the Game Awards).

Usual June is being made by the FINJI Development Team, led by Creative Director Adam Saltsman (Overland, Canabalt) and produced in collaboration with the narrative team at Sweet Baby Inc (Alan Wake 2, God of War: Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2) and BAFTA winning audio director Adam Hay (Dreams, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture).

Play as June, a college student who can talk to ghosts, as you hang out with your new best friends, defend yourself against strange creatures, and try to uncover a Midwest city’s deepest secrets before it’s too late.

Players will delight in frantic, flexible combat, a witty cast (living and dead), and an original conspiracy story that is equal parts terrifying, funny, and sweet, with graphic novel-inspired storytelling in a full 3D game world.
Usual June is currently in development for PC for 2025, with a release date to be announced in the future. Players can wishlist the game now on Steam.
