Finally! A month not filled with remakes! We do have a lot of sequels this month, but they all look to be refreshing spins on well-established franchises. Check out what we’re excited for and let us know in the comments below which ones you’re planning on playing day one!
CRASH BANDICOOT 4: IT’S ABOUT TIME – October 2nd
PlayStation 4, Xbox One
The Bandicoot is back to spin, jump around and smash the world. With a slew of new powers, slick graphics, and other characters to play as we’re excited to go through another adventure with this zany character.
STAR WARS: SQUADRONS – October 2nd
PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Lightsabers? No, we’ll take ships. In this Star Wars story, players will hop into the cockpit of Tie-Fighters and Rebel ships. A huge part of this game will be its PVP mode too; squads of four battling in the skies for various objectives in various places in the galaxy. With beautiful graphics and what should be a pretty good story, this is going to a Star Wars experience fans should be excited about.
AMNESIA: REBIRTH – October 20th
PC, PlayStation 4
The first Amnesia game sacred me to my core (I was much younger). I hadn’t experienced something that could still deliver the scares in broad daylight with the sound almost completely off. Now, the third entry of this franchise is coming out later this month. I don’t know if I am prepared to play something so creepy…but we all gotta try it eventually!
GHOSTRUNNER – October 27th
PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Ninjas are cool. Parkour is cool. Robots are cool. Ghostrunner takes all three and smashes them into a breathtaking, cybernetic, first-person, free-running game that seems to run as smooth as its blade goes through enemies (which is like a hot knife through butter).
WATCH DOGS: LEGION – October 29nd
Google Stadia, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X
Be anyone. Go everywhere. Take over the system with the click of a button or a tap of the phone. We are super excited to see this ambitious game set players on a path of digital weaponry and chaos while rocking a plethora of outfits and personas.
THE DARK PICTURES ANTHOLOGY – LITTLE HOPE – October 30th
PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Supermassive Games is back with another choice-driven horror tale. Little Hope looks to be another thrill ride that is hopefully full of twists, kills, and scares. Watch out for this one as it comes out the day before Halloween. If you’re stuck at home for Halloween, this seems like it will be a great way to spend your night.
SUPER MARIO BROS. 35 – October 1st

Ride 4 – October 5th
