It usually ends up happening every year: there’ll be one particular month where the release schedule goes bananas, and we’re left wondering whether it’ll be remembered as an all-timer.
Now, we’re not saying that September 2026 is going to make history, but it’s suddenly looking like one hell of a month for new PS5 games.
Thanks to The Blood of Dawnwalker locking in a 3rd September release date, we’re now staring at a two-week period that features four potential bangers.
And the crazy part is that the second half of the month could soon become just as busy, depending on the dates that will inevitably be dished out over the summer.
Imagine the likes of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Halo: Campaign Evolved, or the new Fable settling for September as well. Sheesh.
So, right now, September 2026 looks like this:
In that order, we’ve got a highly anticipated RPG from ex-Witcher 3 devs, an action game that’s looked incredible from the moment it was revealed, a PS5 exclusive from the masters at Insomniac Games, and what will almost certainly be one of the best JRPGs of the year.
At the time of writing, the latter half of 2026 is relatively sparse, but with GTA 6 seemingly secured for November, you’re going to see a lot of titles targeting September and October over the coming months, in a bid to avoid Rockstar’s juggernaut.
