Games

October is set to deliver some of the year’s most exciting game releases, giving us lots to play as the weather gets colder. Some key titles include Battlefield 6 for fans of first-person shooters, and Digimon Story: Time Stranger, the first new installment in the series for nearly a decade. We’re starting the month with Ghost of Yotei, and Little Nightmares 3 is launching on October 10th, perfectly timed for spooky season. To help you keep track of everything, here’s a complete list of video games releasing in October 2025.

For players on Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X, the new game is launching exclusively on PC, meaning it will only be available through Xbox Game Pass PC. Currently, there’s no confirmation about a release on consoles, but developers haven’t said it won’t happen either. This means a console version is still a possibility.

Despite worldwide circumstances beyond Sony’s influence, the newest standard PS5 model (often called the “slim” version) is an example of a product where those cost savings aren’t being passed on to consumers.

Reef Entertainment announced the delay, explaining that it’s because of recent changes in global trade and tariffs which caused delays in shipping parts for our Day One and Collector’s Editions. They stated, “Because we want to release all versions at the same time,” this new launch date will apply to both the physical and digital versions of the game, everywhere in the world.”

Starting with a very simple story, you immediately find yourself in the Slime Conservatory, which becomes your headquarters. Your only goal is to explore the island.

Like many older games revisited years later, I expected to enjoy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, but also to find flaws in its gameplay or story that had been improved upon by newer games in the genre. So, I was surprised when, in 2025, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles actually stood out as potentially the best game of its kind currently available.

Looking past the main character, you’ll find many compelling supporting personalities, each with unique philosophies and intriguing mysteries to discover. These characters can shed light on the origins of prophecy within the simulation, explain unanswered questions about the war against the Machines, or follow the new generation of rebels who continue Neo’s fight. Their stories could explore their backstories or unresolved conflicts, but these three characters definitely have the depth and complexity to lead their own spin-off titles.

I was so excited when South Park came back with Season 27, Episode 5, and we were introduced to this really interesting new character, Kipling! Honestly, Kipling immediately got everyone at the school talking – it sparked such a debate! And the design is just incredible; it’s so detailed that people are already hoping they’ll add Kipling as a regular character to the show. Now, everyone’s buzzing with ideas about how South Park might use them in future episodes, which is just awesome!

Okay, so I just built the LEGO Game Boy set, and honestly, it was a really chill build! With only 421 pieces, I finished it in under 3 hours, no problem. You start by building the Super Mario Land cartridge and the cool stand it comes with – it even stores the cartridge! Then you move onto the back of the console, the PCB, the front with all the buttons, the screen itself, and a stand for the whole thing. Finally, you finish it off with the The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening cartridge, which even has a little detail representing the battery inside. It’s a super fun set!

It was strange that Gohan didn’t appear at all in Dragon Ball Daima (along with his mother, Videl), especially since the series was also marking the 40th anniversary of Akira Toriyama’s manga first appearing in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump. However, as Dragon Ball Daima producer Akio Iyoku shared (noted by @Venixys on X), a design for a Mini Gohan was actually created for the anime, but ultimately wasn’t included in the final show.
