All New Game Releases Coming Before the End of September (And More)
Following on from the release of Borderlands 3 earlier this month, there are actually a wealth of September game releases still to come in the next two weeks. Even though 2019 is a relatively quiet year for game releases due to the impending release of the next console generation, the September – November release window is usually the busiest in any year. In the next two weeks, gamers can look forward to titles like The Surge 2, Code Vein, and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on Switch.
September Game Releases From the 18th to the 30th of the Month
The first new games coming later this month are due to release on the 20th of September. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is coming to the Nintendo Switch, while a remaster of the same game is also coming to PC and PS4. On the same day, the Switch is also getting The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Untitled Goose Game (also coming to PC). Four days later, on the 24th, is another bevy of new releases. Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition, and Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear are all coming to PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, as is Planescape Torment: Enhanced Edition and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition.
Also on the 24th, Contra: Rogue Corps is coming to the Switch, Xbox One, PS4, and PC, while the biggest release of the day, The Surge 2, is coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Mario Kart Tour is coming to mobile devices on the 25th, while three more titles are coming on the 26th. Namely, Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition is coming to the Switch, while Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX is coming to PC, PS4, and Switch. Finally, Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is coming to PS4, but only in Japan.
The final big release day of September will be on the 27th, when six new games have their release date. Code Vein, for example, will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on that date. Tropico 6 will also be making its console debut on Xbox One and PS4. (Check out an early-access look at Tropico 6 on console here.) Sports gaming fans can look forward to FIFA 20 coming to all platforms on the 27th as well. Meanwhile, Ori and the Blind Forest will be making its way to the Switch, along with Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age. Finally, Memorrha will be coming to all platforms on the 27th of September too.
Major Game Releases to Look Out for in October
Of course, there’s dozens of game releases coming in October as well. (Especially as we get deeper into the year’s busiest release window.) We’ll cover exactly what’s coming and when in more detail closer to the time. However, there are certain titles which stand out from the crowd, as it were, and which are worth making a note of. The first is, of course, the release of Shadowkeep; the next major DLC for Destiny 2, which is coming on the 1st of October. That will herald a major rework for Destiny 2 in general, and you can read much more about that here.
After that, Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is coming on the 4th to PC, Xbox One, and PS4. After that, most of the month’s releases will be smaller titles, remasters, or games coming to new platforms post-launch. For instance, both Overwatch Legendary Edition and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition will be coming to the Nintendo Switch on the 15th of October. Of course, the largest release of the month is almost certainly going to be that of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. (Due to release on the 25th of October.) The second pre-launch Beta weekend for that game is due to start tomorrow; read more of the details about that here.
If Call of Duty isn’t your sort of game, then gamers also have The Outer Worlds to look forward to. In fact, that game will be releasing on the same day, for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. First announced last year, The Outer Worlds is being developed by Obsidian, the studio behind Fallout: New Vegas. Later in October, both Resident Evil 5 and 6 will be coming to the Nintendo Switch. In the realm of sport gaming, WWE 2K20 will be coming to all platforms on the 22nd of October.
Glimpses of November Game Releases
Looking even further ahead into November, look out for Death Stranding coming on the 8th; one of the most highly-anticipated titles of the year. Once again, expect more information coming closer to the time for these November releases and others. Gamers can also look forward to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Pokemon Sword and Shield, Shenmue 3, and more. November will also see the launch of Google Stadia, the major gaming endeavour currently in development at Google.
