A cooperative game for two users, where instead of the usual heroes there are radio—controlled cars. Gamers will have to rush around the missing professor's house and laboratory, looking at ordinary rooms from an unexpected angle: furniture and household items will turn into whole racing tracks with obstacles. As you progress, you need to solve puzzles, look for workarounds and piece together the story of the strange experiments of the owner of the house and the circumstances of his disappearance.
Crimson Moon
Release date: September 1st
Genre: RPG, Action
What to play on: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S

A dark fantasy action game with a focus on dynamic battles where the player becomes a nephilim, a creature combining human and angelic nature. When the holy Guildenark fell, its lands were overrun by demons, the dead, vampires, and other creatures born of the Foulness of Hell. The hero will have to fight his way through their hordes using supernatural powers, weapons, brutal melee combos and angelic forms that open up new possibilities in battles. The game can be played alone or with other users.
The Blood of Dawnwalker
Release date: September 3rd
Genre: RPG, Action
What to play on: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S

The game takes place in 14th century Europe. Bloody conflicts shake the earth, and the Black Death takes the survivors. Vampires use this opportunity to step out of the shadows and claim power. The player controls Cohen, a young man transformed into a Messenger of Dawn, who is forever doomed to balance on the edge between the world of day and the kingdom of night. There is a difficult choice ahead: fight for your humanity or accept the cursed powers to save your family. The hero's opponent will be Brensis, an ancient vampire leader who dreams of becoming the messiah of a new order.
The project is promising — The Blood of Dawnwalker is being made by Rebel Wolves studio, founded by former key CD Projekt developers, and headed by The Witcher 3 game director Konrad Tomashkevich.
Orbitals
Release date: September 3
Genre: platformer, action
What to play on: Nintendo Switch 2
A two-player co-op, similar in spirit to It Takes Two, but with juicy 1980s anime graphics. The main characters, teenagers Maki and Omura, face a strange threat: their house is engulfed by a supernatural cosmic storm, and only together can they get out of this situation. The gameplay is based on constant interaction. Here, almost every mechanic is tied to synchronicity, trust, and the ability to work in pairs. Players will have to explore locations, help each other, share responsibilities and quickly adjust to new tasks: in one scene, someone takes control of the ship while a partner shoots back, and in another, the abilities of one hero help the second to complete a difficult platform section.
SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed
Release date: September 3rd
Genre: platformer, action
What to play on: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch

The iconic competitive platformer is back. Players will once again have to outrun their rivals in ruthless online and local races, which can now involve up to eight users. The first part of the game has earned a place on the gaming Olympus thanks to the dynamics of competitive parkour and elimination mechanics — the death screen, the use of bonuses to harm opponents and interactive maps.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword
Release date: September 4th
Genre: RPG, Action
What to play on: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2
Screenshot from the game Onimusha: Way of the Sword
The new part of Onimusha takes players to Edo-era Kyoto, or rather to its gloomy, distorted reflection. A mysterious Malice covered the city, the streets were empty, and the temples and neighborhoods were filled with demonic creatures from another world. In this chaos, young Miyamoto Musashi finds himself, a samurai for whom the path of the sword has long been the only way to live. An Oni Glove falls into his hands, an ancient artifact that grants superhuman strength. With her help, the hero deals with demons, absorbs their souls and gradually becomes stronger. But the deeper he moves through the darkness of Kyoto, the more questions arise around the glove itself: where did it come from, what does it want, and in whose voice it speaks.
Marvel's Wolverine
Release date: September 15th
Genre: adventure, action
What to play on: PlayStation 5
Screenshot from Marvel's Wolverine game
An action adventure about Wolverine from the studio known for Marvel's Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. The story takes Logan through snowy Canada, Japan and criminal Madripoor, where mutants, mercenaries and spies will come together in battle. Along the way, there will be both allies and familiar enemies from the comics, including Mystic and Omega Red. Judging by the stated tone, the game relies on a dark adventure, a tense plot and the most brutal image of the main character. The fights promise to be not just spectacular, but truly ferocious — the way you expect them from Wolverine.

A new story in the Silent Hill universe will revolve around Simon, a man whom the player initially learns only from scraps of interrogation recordings. The setting is a small town by the sea, cut off from the world, where reality begins to spread under the crackle of radio interference and the flickering of an old portable TV. The search for a strange signal quickly turns into a trap for the hero. The deeper Simon tries to make sense of what is happening, the more persistently the city pulls out what he himself has long tried to bury: suppressed memories, mistakes of the past and personal sins.
