The boisterous “looter shooter” series returns, bringing ridiculously powerful weapons, a cool new hoverbike and a vast planet to explore, while dealing with the threat of a ruthless cosmic dictator known as the Timekeeper. It’s been five years since the last instalment, and developer Gearbox has massively updated the signature cartoon visuals to bring us the next generation of sci-fi comic book anarchy.
Released 12 September; PC, PS5, Xbox, Switch (3 October)
Looking to scare yourself stupid as the long dark nights draw in? The first completely new instalment in Konami’s psychological horror series for over a decade has been cautiously welcomed by fans – but the proof will be in the (extremely bloody) pudding. Set in 1960s Japan, it follows high-school student Hinako Shimizu as her home town becomes shrouded in a dense fog filled with freakish monsters.
