Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and More Exciting Games Coming Out in October
30.09.2023 - 14:27 / wccftech.com
Keeping track of all the latest video games coming out is an increasingly complex task, what with multiple PC storefronts, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and more to keep track of, but don’t worry, I’m here to help. Every month I'll be running down the games you need to be keeping an eye on, from the big triple-A headliners, to the intriguing indies you might overlook.
Well… apologies to your wallet in advance as October is almost upon and it’s one of the biggest ones in years. Major blockbusters like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder are being backed up by almost equally-exciting titles like Alan Wake 2, Forza Motorsport, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Lords of the Fallen, just to name a few. And indies aren’t sitting out the month either, with promising titles like Wargroove 2 and Ghostrunner 2 on the way.
Note: While I may have played demos or got early access to some of the games recommended in this article, in most cases I’m simply choosing games that look promising, and can’t vouch for the end product. Do wait for reviews before buying!
That said, here are the games you should be looking out for in October…
Assassin's Creed Mirage (PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 & PS5, Oct. 5)
For some time now, more, more, more has been Ubisoft’s mantra for each new Assassin’s Creed -- more content, bigger worlds, deeper RPG systems – but Assassin’s Creed Mirage opts to go in the opposite direction. This is a more stripped-down, traditional action-adventure take on AC. Will Mirage live up to old-school fans expectations? Probably, but don’t expect old irritations with the formula to be fixed – during my early hands-on time, I found the game did in fact feel like classic Assassin’s Creed, for better and for worse. You can pre-order Assassin’s Creed Mirage here.
Forza Motorsport (PC & Xbox Series X/S, Oct. 10)
Microsoft’s premier racing sim drifts back onto the track this month. The new Forza Motorsport promises some impressive technical updates, including full in-race ray tracing at 60fps and number of updates to the series’ driving mechanics, weather simulation, and more. Xbox fans who have been looking jealously at Gran Turismo 7 are about to have their day. You can pre-order Forza Motorsport here.
Total War: Pharaoh (PC, Oct. 11)
The Total War franchise marches on with Ancient Egypt serving as the latest battlefield. Total War: Pharaoh will be a somewhat stripped-down experience compared to some other recent entries in the series. The focus this time around seems to be on more dynamic battles, which can be affected by weather and fires, and a greater ability to customize your campaigns in granular detail. Time to send your enemies crying for their mummies. You can pre-order Total War:

Total War: Pharaoh is more of a pretender than a true heir
It’s pretty wild to consider the ground the Total War franchise has managed to cover since its inception. With the introduction of the fantasy-focused Warhammer trilogy, and the theatrical Three Kingdoms, developer Creative Assembly has brought its massive strategy franchise to whole new audiences. However, with the exception of the remastered Total War: Rome, this has left many long-time fans of the franchise yearning for a return to Creative Assembly’s historical roots. While Total War: Pharaoh is more grounded than its supernatural cousins, and deploys a slower overall pace, its attempts to bridge accuracy and accessibility leave its Bronze Age campaign and combat feeling a bit dusty when compared to its larger-than-life counterparts.
