September 4

Destiny 2: Forsaken (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – The fall expansion for Destiny 2 is on the horizon, and it’s bringing new abilities, weapons, areas, modes, and a whole new campaign/story to play. Forsaken will include exclusives for PlayStation players, such as a special rifle, armor, and a whole co-op dungeon.

September 7

Marvel’s Spider-Man (PS4) – Spider-Man has become one of 2018’s most anticipated games, with lots of talk about its stunning visuals, detailed world, and incredibly well-done mechanics. Swing through the streets of Manhattan as Spider-Man, and actually feel like Spider-Man with smooth and effortless webslinging action.

September 14

Shadow of the Tomb Raider (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – Lara Croft is back and is quite literally facing the apocalypse in her next adventure in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The last entry in the series, Rise of the Tomb Raider, released in 2015, two years afters the first in the reboot series, Tomb Raider. The latest installment is looking very polished — and pretty dark. Look forward to jungle exploration, clever puzzles, tough fights, and gorgeous scenery.

September 15

Undertale (Switch) – The cult favorite is finally releasing on Nintendo Switch to the joy of many. The acclaimed indie game originally released on PC in 2015, and people quickly took to the game’s depth and heart. It’s an RPG where you don’t have to kill anything or anyone, but it can be hard not to. It’s also one of those games you have to play to really get, and it’s awesome a whole new crew of players can experience Undertale on a console as great as the Switch soon.

September 27

Life is Strange 2 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – All aboard the feels train for Life is Strange 2, a followup to the 2015 episodic graphic adventure with the ability the alter time to change choices for alternate consequences and timelines. The sequel follows a different story with different characters and no time travel ability to be seen, but it looks to hold the same heartfelt narrative we expect from these games.

September 28

Dragon Ball FighterZ (Switch) – Another Switch release to get excited about is Dragon Ball FighterZ, based on the anime with its signature visuals, fast-paced combat, and an array of characters to use. The story mode isn’t great, but who buys a fighter game for the story? For more detailed thoughts, check out A9K’s review of Dragon Ball FighterZ here.
