Everyone and their mother are trying to avoid launching close to GTA VI and in doing so has arguably created just as bad a situation with the number of games crammed into such a short timeframe.

September 15th: Wolverine (PS5), Runescape Dragonwilds (PS5/XB)
September 17th: Trails in the Sky 2nd Ch. (PC/NS2/PS5), Dawn of War IV (PC), Trine 6 (All)
September 18th: Lego Batman (NS2)
September 22nd: Dune Awakening (PS5/XB)
September 24th: Control Resonant (PC/PS5/XB), Dragon Quest XI S (NS2), Hot Wheels:IR (All), Harvest Moon EoT (All), Silent Hill (PC/PS5)
September 25th: Onimusha (PC/PS5/XB)
September 29th: Minecraft Dungeons 2 (All)
October 1st: Dynasty Warriors 3 (All), Rayman Legends Retold (All)
October 2nd: Ace Combat 8 (PC/PS5/XB)
October 6th: Star Wars Galactic Racer (PC/PS5/XB)

Over this three week period we have 18 notable releases. 15 on PS5, 12 on PC/XB and 9 on NS2. Meaning whatever platform you are on there's a lot to choose from. With the Xbox Showcase still to go there's the potential for something else to popup too. Good luck to these games because competition is fierce lol.

If I was Silent Hill I would move to middle October

If I was Control Resonant I would move to early November where there is literally nothing to compete with. Given how GTA is also not releasing on PC I think a lot of publishers are are unknowingly sabotaging themselves clustering into September.

Im only really interested in Onimusha and Wolverine, so Im fine...for now.

Nothing for me so far, but that will almost certainly change when the Direct drops.

I can see games like Control Resonant coming off worse due to there being so many releases all packed in close together.

Control and Silent Hill could have a hard time but that's a lot of very different games in the list which won't harm each other too much. Or in some cases only releases like DUNE which already made some money.

GTA 6 could do the funniest thing.

This is silly but I would imagine at least one of those late September ones will move a couple weeks later. If you're not a shooting game October is looking very open right now.

At this point, why not simply push launch to 2027? Being a game stuck in a sea of market over-saturation just sounds like a recipe for disaster. Especially if you’re a big budget release like Wolverine.

I tihnk that some of those games have a strong enough personality or appeal that will help them stand out and do well, but I fear that we'll see quite a few flops.

I’m pretty sure out of everything releasing in September, Wolverine is the one that should be least worried lol, if anything Control 2 should be pushed out as Remedy themselves have complained that their games don’t sell well enough.
