Here comes a busy flurry of releases, although not this coming week. Nonetheless, it’s evident that we’re nearing the autumnal equinox, as there are quite a few notable titles on the horizon.
Among all releases this year, the most noteworthy game in a broad sense is Madden NFL 26, expected to be one of the top-selling titles. However, for our particular audience, we believe you’ll find Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 to be more captivating.
These are all the new PS5 and PS4 releases this week.
