/ In September
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.
While the holiday gaming season hasn’t started quite yet, things definitely pick up in September, with major titles like Starfield, Mortal Kombat 1, Lies of P, and the big annual sports franchises NBA 2K24 and EA Sports FC 24. Meanwhile, on the indie front we have the intense WWI horror game Ad Infinitum, mind-bendy puzzle-adventure game Cocoon, and more.
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 September…
Starfield (PC & Xbox Series X/S, Sept. 6)
Bethesda Game Studios’ first original IP in 25 years, the hugely ambitious sci-fi RPG Starfield, is almost here. Starfield is trying to be everything to everyone, offering up a full Bethesda RPG experience, intense shooting action, and space exploration set in a procedurally generated galaxy stuffed with over 1000 planets. Will Starfield live up to the hype? We’ll have to wait and see, but early indications are positive. In the meantime, here’s everything you need to know about the game. You can pre-order Starfield here.
NBA 2K24 (PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 & Switch, Sept. 8)
Another year, another round of the most dependable hoops game in town. NBA 2K24 promises a number of new features, including a Kobe-Bryan-focused “Mamba Moments” mode similar to the Jordan Challenge of years past, the ProPlay animation system that translates moves from real-life games, and crossplay. Last year’s NBA 2K was excellent, so it’s very unlikely this one’s an air ball. You can pre-order NBA 2K24 here.
The Crew Motorfest (PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 & PS5, Sept. 14)
The Crew series returns, and this time around Ubisoft is narrowing their focus somewhat. Instead of trying to loosely simulate all of America, The Crew Motorfest sets its racing action on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu. Will this game be on he same level as something like Forza Horizon? Probably not, but if you’re looking for a virtual Hawaiian vacation, it looks like a solid bet. You can pre-order The Crew Motorfest here.
Lies of P (PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 & PS5, Sept. 19)
If you had asked people a few years ago, I doubt any of them would have predicted we’d one day
