As a gamer, I’m super hyped for Ghost of Yōtei – it’s the biggest first-party release PlayStation fans are getting this fall! It’s a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, and this time we get to play as a brand new character in a completely new area packed with stuff to discover. If you were a fan of the original, I’m telling you, you’re going to love hunting down the Yōtei Six. Seriously, it looks amazing!

Absolum is a beat-em-up game with side-scrolling action, brought to you by Dotemu. It adds some roguelike features to make each playthrough different, but the biggest draw is Dotemu themselves.

As a big fan, I’m so excited about Yooka-RePlaylee! It’s basically a refreshed version of the first game, and the developers have made a lot of really smart changes and improvements to make it even better. If you’ve already spent a lot of time with the original, there’s a *ton* new stuff here, but honestly, I think this is going to be the definitive way to experience Yooka-Laylee.

22) Battlefield 6

Release Date: October 10th, 2025
Other Platforms: PC, Xbox

Even though it’s called Battlefield 6, this is actually the eighteenth installment in the popular shooter franchise. It’s rumored to be one of the priciest games created, and the developers are hoping new features like the “Kinesthetic Combat System” will be worth the investment. The negative reception of Battlefield 2042 could deter some players, but EA is confident this game will revitalize the series.

21) Little Nightmares III

Release Date: October 10th, 2025
Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

Little Nightmares III marks a first for the series – it’s not being developed by Tarsier Studios. This time, Supermassive Games, known for creating Until Dawn and The Quarry, is handling development. Additionally, this is the first installment to feature online co-op gameplay, which has raised a lot of anticipation.

After a long and difficult development process, Bloodlines 2 is now officially moving forward.
