Summer is winding down, and that means game releases are about to pick up again. While the major titles are still a bit slow, this week definitely marks the start of a packed fall that will bring hype-worthy new titles from some of the your favorite series, including Battlefield, Call of Duty, Watch Dogs, and Final Fantasy, along with some promising original games like Steep and The Last Guardian.
Read on to see our picks for the week’s best new releases, and then see the massive list of all upcoming video game release dates throughout the rest of 2016 and beyond.
Picks of the Week
Fallout 4: Nuka-World (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
The last DLC planned for Fallout 4 is also one of the most exciting. This expansion lets you take a vacation from your day-to-day struggles in the Commonwealth Wasteland and head to Nuka-World, a theme park based on the post-nuclear world’s favorite soda. With themed worlds a la Disneyland and plenty of rides to explore, this is one trip you won’t want to miss.
World of Warcraft: Legion (PC, Mac)
World of Warcraft may be getting on in years, but if this sixth expansion—the first in nearly two years—is any indication, this old dog has a bit of bark left in her yet. Among the many changes and additions included in Legion are a bump of the level cap up to 110 and a new hero class, the Demon Hunter. Time to re-up that subscription!
Verdun (PS4)
Can’t wait for Battlefield 1 to dive into some World War I action? Verdun is more than happy to scratch your trench warfare itch in the meantime. This first-person shooter is already out on PC, where it’s received widespread acclaim from players. A last-minute delay on Xbox One means you’ll only be able to join the fight on PS4, however.
