Is it me, or does June have too many new MMOs, Destructoid?

Destructoid, is it just me, or are there way too many MMOs launching next month than there should be? As it feels like I look over the already busy June calendar of releases, such as the Switch 2, there are a handful of new MMOs launching that I thought were possible. I've been looking over the calendar, and three already have struck me as big MMOs all trying to gain a large, fledgling community at the same time while competing with other big June releases. It feels a bit overwhelming if I'm honest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocMIndtODi4&ab_channel=IGN To start, we have Dune: Awakening, which will have delayed early access starting June 5. It recently had a small beta that left many players concerned about the upcoming release, but it's still a big MMO based on a large IP that's launching at the same time the Switch 2 and Deltarune come out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnwPaLmlGpU&ab_channel=IGN Following that, we have the indie MMO Bitcraft, which looks like if you took a basic survival crafting game and gave it Runescape-like elements with the freedom of Minecraft where players can build out towns and empires across the continent with their friends or clans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6qozCE0gKg&ab_channel=ChronoOdyssey Then we have Chrono Odyssey, an MMORPG that caught me off guard, and that is testing its world for new players next month with a CBT. It looks pretty breathtaking, even if I don't have a clue what it's about. Not to mention, we also have Palia and other MMOs constantly churning out updates, new quests, it feels a bit overwhelming to have all these big time sinks launch at the same time, and I feel like I'm missing a couple smaller ones that I'll likely remember the moment I publish this article. Doesn't it feel like a bit too much? Maybe the MMOs will pull a New World and flop after the first month, but it does all feel a bit overwhelming as an MMO fan trying to decide what I want to invest in. I guess I'll do what I usually do and wait to see which game is best designed for blacksmithing. I'm all about making those profits selling crafted gear, after all!

Finding the sandworm in Dune: Awakening

Destructoid, is it just me, or are there way too many MMOs launching next month than there should be? As it feels like I look over the already busy June calendar of releases, such as the Switch 2, there are a handful of new MMOs launching that I thought were possible.

I've been looking over the calendar, and three already have struck me as big MMOs all trying to gain a large, fledgling community at the same time while competing with other big June releases. It feels a bit overwhelming if I'm honest.
