In September 2026, the video game industry released a variety of titles, ranging from high-budget blockbusters to smaller, creative indie projects. One of the standout games was Control Resonant, a sequel to the 2019 game Control by Remedy Entertainment. This new installment shifts the narrative focus from Jesse Faden to her brother Dylan, who must face the mysterious entity known as the Hiss in New York City. The game introduces a more hands-on combat style, favoring close-quarters fighting over long-range tactics, and presents a story that is easier to follow than its predecessor. It is available on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
Another major release was Marvel's Wolverine, developed by Insomniac Games, known for titles like Spider-Man. This game explores Wolverine's early life and features intense combat with visible dismemberment, a dark atmosphere, and a performance by Liam McIntyre, who voices the character. While praised for its mature tone, the game was also criticized for repetitive combat and a cautious progression system. It is available exclusively on PS5.
The Blood of Dawnwalker, developed by Rebel Wolves, is an open-world action-RPG set in a medieval European world ravaged by the Black Death and vampires. The protagonist, Coen de Laslea, is a vespéral, a hybrid being who is human during the day and a vampire at night. The game introduces a dynamic system with a countdown mechanic, where choices affect how time progresses in the world. It is available on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
Well Dweller, created by Kyle Thompson, is a metroidvania-style game that combines accessible art with deep gameplay. It is described as having a visual style that is more approachable than Hollow Knight but as rich in depth as Ori. It is available on PS5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, and PC.
Other notable titles include Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, a sequel to the original Moonlighter, which retains the classic formula of a merchant exploring dungeons to sell treasures. It features cartoonish graphics and 3D environments and is available on PS5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Graveyard Keeper 2 continues the story of managing a cemetery, but now as a grand inquisitor trying to stop zombies from destroying the world. It allows players to build bases and defenses and is available on multiple platforms. Kalanoro, inspired by Malagasy folklore, is an action-adventure game featuring a musical road trip, while The Merlies is a lighthearted indie game with cute graphics where players collect creatures without facing enemies. Both are available on Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 and PC.
