- Other big titles include Wolverine, Blood of the Dawnwalker and Dune: Awakening

## Summary

September 2026 is shaping up to be an unusually crowded month for video game releases, as numerous major publishers appear to be avoiding a direct clash with Grand Theft Auto 6, which is expected in November. Rather than competing with GTA 6 in the traditional holiday window, publishers have instead packed their biggest titles into September, resulting in an unprecedented pile-up of high-profile launches within a matter of weeks.

Blood of the Dawnwalker arrives on 3 September, followed by Marvel's Wolverine on 15 September. The most congested stretch comes later in the month: Control Resonant and Silent Hill Townfall both launch on 24 September, with Onimusha: Way of the Sword following just a day later on 25 September. Additional releases, including Mewgenics, Dune: Awakening on PS5, and several entries in the Trails/Legends of Heroes series, add to the bottleneck, prompting questions over whether some titles might have fared better spread into October, November or December instead.
