Game Release Dates In September 2018: Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4, And PC

September has officially arrived, and with it comes a new slate of games for PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and even 3DS. While most of this year's big holiday releases are reserved for October and November, this month is still filled with some exciting new games across each platform. Along with marquee titles like Dragon Quest XI and Spider-Man, this month sees the official Xbox One release of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, while sports fans have the latest installments in NBA Live and FIFA to look forward to.

September is also home to a couple of major DLC releases. First is Destiny 2's Taken King-sized expansion, Forsaken, which introduces Gambit mode, new enemies, story missions, and a wealth of other content to the shooter. Switch's massive JRPG Xenoblade Chronicles 2 also receives its own sizable story expansion, Torna: The Golden Country, this month, which chronicles the downfall of the eponymous country 500 years before the events of the main game.

That's only scratching the surface of all the games September has to offer. You can see a list of the biggest releases for each platform this month below. For a broader look at all of the major titles coming throughout the rest of the year, be sure to check out our complete list of game release dates in 2018.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (PS4, PC) -- September 4

September kicks off with the release of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, the latest chapter in Square Enix's storied RPG franchise. This installment brings the series back to its roots following its detour into MMO territory with the Japan-exclusive Dragon Quest X, boasting a traditional turn-based battle system, a charming, ragtag cast of characters, and an endearing story, accentuated by new features like monster riding the Zone and Link systems.

Marvel's Spider-Man (PS4) -- September 7

Ratchet & Clank developer Insomniac's highly anticipated Spider-Man game arrives exclusively on PS4 on September 7. This interpretation of the comic book hero takes place in an original, standalone universe separate from the comic series and puts players in the shoes of a more experienced, confident Spider-Man as he defends New York from a cabal of some of his most iconic villains, including Electro, Rhino, Scorpion, and Silver Sable.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider (PS4, Xbox One, PC) -- September 14

The third--and darkest--chapter in Lara Croft's rebooted origin story, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, releases on September 14. Picking up several months after Rise of the Tomb Raider, this installment sees Croft venturing through the jungles of Central and South America to stop a Mayan apocalypse she inadvertently triggered. During her journey, she'll visit Paititi, the largest hub area in a Tomb Raider game to date, and be able to employ more stealthy techniques to hunt the villainous Trinity.

Life Is Strange 2 - Episode 1 (PS4, Xbox One, PC) -- September 27

The first installment in Dontnod's next episodic adventure, Life Is Strange 2, arrives on September 27. Unlike the previous Life Is Strange and its prequel series, Before the Storm, Life Is Strange 2 follows brothers Sean and Daniel Diaz as they flee to Mexico following a life-changing encounter with the police. Dontnod promises the game will offer even more branching choices, and some of the decisions players make in the free spin-off, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, will also carry over.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
