September has always been a busy month for new video game releases, and this year is no exception. While there’s no new Destiny expansion to look forward to–that’ll have to wait until February 2022–there are a number of other games that’ll be scratching plenty of particular itches, like the glorious topical cream that they are. Adorable adventure Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Tony Squawk’s Pro Skater AKA Skatebird, and a director’s cut for Death Stranding are just some of the games out in the final month of the third quarter.
There’s also a small homicidal Groundhog Day-esque first-person shooter from this little company Arkane Studios, called Deathloop. Maybe you’ve heard about it? This game from one of Microsoft’s first-party Xbox studios, that’ll be a PlayStation console exclusive? Here’s a look at what else you can expect to play in September, besides that game where you check to see if Green Day is asleep.
