Developer: CyberConnect2
Editor: bandai namco

In nearly a decade since the original release of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R, the anime and manga on which it is based have gone from a somewhat niche but successful franchise to one of the biggest hits in mainstream anime.

Developer: naughty dog
Editor: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Platform(s): PC, PS5
The Last Of Us is without a doubt one of the biggest franchises right now, with two incredibly successful games and an HBO series on the way. Naturally, any new The Last Of Us release is going to be a big deal, and The Last Of Us Part 1 could be the biggest PS5 game of the entire year. Sure, there may be a debate as to whether it’s really been “rebuilt from the ground up,” but that’s another story.
The Last Of Us Part 1 sees players control Joel as he travels through a post-apocalyptic America with Ellie, a teenage girl who is immune to the fungal infection that ruined the entire world. With zombies, bandits, and some evil villains getting in your way, Joel and Ellie’s journey is bound to be dangerous.

LEGO fights | September 2, 2022
Developer: red games
Editor: the lego group
Platform(s): PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch
The beauty of LEGO is that you can build anything, and that versatility also lends itself well to video games, as you can make any type of LEGO game. While you might immediately opt for Traveler’s Tales cooperative adventure/puzzle games, Red Games Co. is here to introduce a LEGO genre you might not have expected: multiplayer brawlers. Then again, the number of cooperative LEGO play sessions turning into fights means it shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Players will be able to create their own LEGO Minifigure character and make their way through different LEGO themed worlds, including Ninjago and more. LEGO Brawls features full crossover play with 4v4 team battles, along with a Battle Royale-inspired mode where players will fight until one player is left standing. It might not take down Multiversus, but it could be fun.
Disney Dreamlight Valley (Early Access) | September 6, 2022
Developer: Gameloft
Editor: Gameloft
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S (more platforms to come)
The beauty of most Disney and Pixar properties is that you often wonder what it would be like to live in that world. Gameloft has decided to bring you that fantasy as they have grouped some of Disney’s biggest properties into Disney Dreamlight Valley and let you live with these iconic characters. Having Wall-E water your plants makes this so much better than Animal Crossing. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
Disney Dreamlight Valley lets you move into a town occupied by some of the world’s most iconic and recognizable animated characters, customizing your home, garden, character and more with many themed items. You will also travel to other realms, fighting The Forgetting to try and free The Dream Castle. Disney Dreamlight Valley will be available in Early Access, so expect even more content in the months and years to come.
steel rise | September 8, 2022
Developer: spiders
Editor: Nacon, Bigben Interactive
Platform(s): PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S
A mechanical take on the French Revolution is definitely a more unique take on history, which is what makes Steelrising such an intriguing premise. King Louis XVI’s head is still going to roll, but instead of being the will of the people, it will be at the hands of an automaton masterpiece by the name of Aegis. That’s not how things were taught in school, but it could lead to one of the biggest sleeper hits of September 2022.
Players control Aegis, who must take on King Louis XVI’s mechanical army that is turning Paris into a wasteland. Steelrising itself is an action RPG that borrows some of its DNA from the Soulslike genre, with challenging combat and huge bosses the order of the day. With multiple weapons and abilities, you have full control over how you want to define Aegis’s combat style, which should hopefully be a rewarding experience.
Splatoon 3 | September 9, 2022
Developer: Nintendo
Editor: Nintendo
Platform(s): nintendo switch
From a silly but enjoyable shooter that defied tradition to a true crown jewel in Nintendo’s multiplayer offerings, Splatoon 3 has all the potential to be the biggest Nintendo Switch game of the entire year. Given that Splatoon fans have been clamoring for the game ever since it was originally announced, it’s no wonder to suggest that Splatoon 3 could be a real Game of the Year contender.
Bringing the action to the sun-kissed area of Splatlands, players will control their created Octoling/Inkling, battling online against teams of other players to see who can get the most ink or paint spread across the level. On top of that, single player and co-op modes are also included, and there will be even more content to enjoy in the months after launch, making this one to keep an eye out for.
Metal: Hellsinger | September 15, 2022
Developer: The outsiders
Editor: funcom
Platform(s): PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S
Ever since the success of the DOOM reboot in 2016, it seems the developers have been striving to get that lightning bolt back in a bottle, with some mixed results. Metal: Hellsinger has every chance of being one of the more successful attempts, as it takes what made DOOM such a huge hit and bumps it up to 11. Bigger guns, louder music, and a game that requires you to go to the swing; all of which make for a tempting cocktail.
As The Unknown, you will travel to the bowels of Hell to take on the worst the Underworld has to offer, with a variety of explosive and devastating weapons to wield. Of course, Metal: Hellsinger’s biggest selling point is the music, and the game features vocal work from some of metal’s biggest names, including Serj Tankian, Matt Heafy, Randy Blythe, Alissa White-Gluz, and more. .
The Chronicle of DioField | September 22, 2022
Developer: Square Enix, Launch
Editor: Square Enix
Platform(s): PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch
Square Enix is known for its JRPGs, but it’s also making waves in recent years with its Japanese strategy games like Octopath Traveler. DioField Chronicle is aiming to go down similar paths that previous Square strategy games have traveled, and it looks like it could be a real winner, especially considering it’s coming to all major platforms instead of just one or two.
In DioField Chronicles, players control a band of mercenaries called the Blue Foxes, who find themselves embroiled in a war between the expansionist Trovelt-Schoevian Empire and the Kingdom of Alletain. Rather than being a turn-based strategy game, The DioField Chronicle employs RTS elements and an XCOM-like free movement system to create something a little more unique.
