We got some absolute MONSTER releases in September. A lot of these are within the first week! Check out my picks for 5 Games to Watch for in September 2025

1. Hollow Knight: Silksong

Release Date: September 4th, 2025
Team Cherry’s long anticipated Silksong is finally available! With 150 new enemies, updated combat, new healing system, and more, you can officially get your hands on Silksong now. We’ll never have to worry about hearing Geoff Keighley get spammed with this announcement ever again.

2. Cronos: The New Dawn

Release Date: September 5th, 2025
Tense and spooky survival games your thing? Then Cronos: The New Dawn is right up your alley. Combining limited resources, burning your enemies, and creepy post apocalyptic environments, Cronos is sure to get you in the mood for fall.

3. Hell Is Us

Release Date: September 5th, 2025
No mini-map? No problem. Or…more problems? Make sure to pull out your notebooks when you’re interacting with some NPCs as they and the environment are the only things giving you clues on what to do next.

4. NBA 2K26

Release Date: September 5th, 2025
Time to ball out! 2K returns with a bunch of new features to improve the City, collisions, and more! More than a roster update, 2K26 will include WNBA and NBA players together for the first time in MyCareer and MyTeam. We will also have cross-platform and cross-progression play. Game on!

5. Borderlands 4

Release Date: September 12th, 2025
You want more than a million guns, do you? How about billions? Borderlands 4 is bringing every single gun you can imagine and more to your screen. We’re causing mayhem on a new planet with some new Vault Hunters. Co-op looter shooters are back (and so is Moxxi) with Borderlands 4.
