All the video games coming out in fall 2025

The end of August is one of the crucial moments for the video game industry, because it is from here that the great race towards Christmas begins, the moment in which millions of people will buy and give as gifts the most interesting titles of the moment.
And while this year has already brought us some very interesting titles, more are on the way. So we've decided to round up the main releases of late 2025, in chronological order and organized by month. This way, you'll know right away which ones to focus on and which ones to save your money for.
September Baby Steps – September 8 (PS5, PC)
Fall's most bizarre experiment : Bennett Foddy transforms the act of walking into a slapstick odyssey. In the game, we'll have to control our legs separately, and every step is a mini-feat, with comical stumbles, improbable climbs, and that "fail" energy that will make it a Twitch favorite. Behind the falls lies a tender satire on failure and patience : a title that thrives on physics, rhythm, and perseverance, destined to take over social media with irresistible clips.
Borderlands 4 – September 12 (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC; Switch 2 coming soon)
Gearbox reignites the engine of the most colorful and comical looter-shooter ever with new Vault Hunters, new planets, and a generous yet crazy arsenal. The hyper-kinetic pace, intense co-op, and over-the-top humor remain the hallmarks, while the scale of the adventure and build options point to a "bigger, louder, more Borderlands" experience. Perfect for party nights that combine conversation and loot.
LAN Party Adventures - September 18 (PC)
A Millennial moment in this management and narrative adventure that brings to life the early 2000s, when multiplayer evenings began with towers and CRTs loaded into the car. Between crossover cables, IP configurations, cooling pizza, and friendships to mend, the game alternates technical problem-solving and comical asides, with a mystery to unravel in the background. It's a warm and self-deprecating homage to a pre-broadband era that many will remember with a smile.
Silent Hill f – September 25 (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC)
Konami's return to psychological horror takes place in 1960s Japan, where folklore and a kind of floral body horror create a disturbing and refined imagery. The protagonist confronts personal traumas and collective fears in environments dense with symbols, more inclined towards slow-paced tension than jump scares. The goal isn't just to scare, but to slither under the skin with images that linger, as in the most beloved installments of the series.
EA SPORTS FC 26 – 26 September (PS5/PS4, Xbox Series/One, Switch/“Switch 2”, PC)
The digital football season kicks off with EA's annual update: a new balance between competitive online and couch play, deeper Career and Club modes, and an ever-present Ultimate Team. Pad in hand, the feel is focused on greater responsiveness, while the content offering covers the entire spectrum: from everyday gameplay to FUT Champions nights. It's the classic end-of-September event for football fans.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles – September 30 (PS5/PS4, Xbox Series, Switch/“Switch 2”, PC)
The cult tactical video game returns in style with a meticulous remaster : a modern interface, quality-of-life options, and voice acting bring new life to a deep strategy based on jobs, synergies, and battlefield positioning. The epic politics of Ivalice remain intact, while the updated presentation makes a genre staple more accessible. It's the perfect time to discover or rediscover a milestone.
October Ghost of Yotei – October 2 (PS5)
A spiritual successor to Ghost of Tsushima, this game relocates the legend to the foot of Mount Yotei and accentuates its contemplative soul. Snow, crevasses, and villages suspended between nature and banditry invite a more vertical exploration, while duels retain the "Kurosawa-esque" elegance that made the original game iconic. Only this time, we can also set the game with the cinematography of two other cornerstones of Japanese cinema: Shinichiro Watanabe and Takashi Miike.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger – October 3 (PS5, Xbox Series, PC)
A new installment in the Story series, this time-traveling game combines partner growth and narrative choices. The tone is more mature, party building returns to the forefront, and the creature encyclopedia offers ample room for customization. A classic JRPG in structure, focused on numbers but capable of appealing to both nostalgic gamers and those seeking deep systems without sacrificing storytelling.
Battlefield 6 – October 10 (PS5, Xbox Series, PC)
DICE is embracing its historic tagline, "all-out warfare," with expansive maps, advanced destruction, and a return to more defined squad roles. The promise is spectacular yet easily accessible battles, where coordination matters as much as aim. With a single-player campaign and revamped gameplay, it's October's biggest offering for those who love moments that can only happen in Battlefield, and it's already generating a lot of buzz.
Pokémon Legends: ZA – October 16 (Switch, Switch 2)
After Arceus Legends, the open-world formula moves to the city, with Lumiose City as the beating heart of quests and encounters. The exploration component embraces verticality and urban life, while the free-capture system makes the pace more dynamic, and the real-time combat requires new approaches even for seasoned players. Between references to tradition and experimentation, this is the spin-off that could redefine the idea of a "Pokémon adventure" for years to come.
Ninja Gaiden 4 – October 21 (PS5, Xbox Series, PC)
The saga that defined hardcore action returns with a chapter that promises ferocity and precision. The combat system relies on timing and reading your opponents, with punishing yet exhilarating boss fights. It's an explicit call to discipline: making mistakes hurts, but mastering the system provides that rare satisfaction that only Ninja Gaiden can provide.
Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted – October 23 (PC, PS5, Xbox Series, Switch/“Switch 2”)
The classic tower defense game is reborn with a modern twist: reworked classic levels, new content, and modes designed for home gaming, including co-op and quick challenges. It's proof that simple rules don't preclude depth and tactical ingenuity, especially when the difficulty suddenly increases when you least expect it.
The Outer Worlds 2 – October 29 (PS5, Xbox Series, PC; Game Pass)
Obsidian expands the horizons of its satirical space RPG : more planets, more factions, branching quests, and a sharper anti-corporate irony. At the heart of it all remains the player's ability to shape the story with their choices, while also accepting the consequences. For those who love sci-fi that smiles while it stings.
ARC Raiders – October 30 (PS5, Xbox Series, PC)
Adrenaline-fueled PvPvE gameplay: you descend into contested areas, loot hostile technology, and decide whether to escape with the loot or stay and risk everything for more. The invading robots and retro-futuristic aesthetic give a strong visual identity to a gameplay loop designed for tight-knit teams but also compatible with solo players. It's already proving very popular in the beta phase and could become one of the most interesting titles of the coming months.
Terminator 2D: No Fate – October 31 (PS5/PS4, Xbox Series/One, Switch, PC)
A pixel art tribute to T2 and the world of run-and-gun games like Metal Slug: scrolling levels, hidden secrets, extra modes, and a declared love for the saga's iconography. With references, boss fights, and a soundtrack that nods to the '90s , it's a treat for fans and those looking for an arcade break between open worlds.
November Cairn – November 5 (PS5; other platforms in 2025)
From The Game Bakers, a simple and tense survival climber that turns the mountain into a silent antagonist. No monsters: just rock, cold, gear, and choices that are balanced. Every hold is a decision, every stop an act of caution; the sense of achievement comes when you understand that the real struggle is with your own limits.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – probable release November 14 (PS5/PS4, Xbox Series/One, PC; Day?one Game Pass)
The new Black Ops features a co-op campaign, the ritual Zombies wave, and tight integration with Warzone. The core is the familiar: solid gunplay, spectacular set pieces, and a live content plan that sets the tone for the season. Balancing comfort food with targeted innovations, it remains the benchmark for everyday shooters.
And December?As often happens, this is the month when the bigger releases fall silent and make room for smaller but no less interesting titles, at least for now.
With Gamescom in Cologne approaching, there could be some last-minute surprises .
