The autumn onslaught of game releases heading into the holiday season is now upon us. If it felt like there were already too many games to pay attention to before, things are about to get much worse. A blessing for some, a curse for others, with heavy-hitters like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, The Legends of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and more leading the charge.
With Star Wars Outlaws sneaking out at the tail-end of August, this September is making up for being a mega-blockbuster or two light with a truly overwhelming number of mid-tier releases, indie games, and tons, and tons of remasters. And not just repackaged cash-ins either, but long-overdue revivals like Marvel vs. Capcom.
2024 will probably end up going down as one of the post-covid hangover “off-years” of this console generation, with 2023 being an unprecedentedly good year, and lots of major games already stacking up with vague “sometime in 2025″ release windows. But the overall pace of game releases just keeps getting faster and faster, with more and more great stuff falling by the wayside every month. Here’s a bunch of the games worth paying attention to that come out in September.
