The summer is slowly coming to an end, and autumn is approaching. This is actually a good time for gaming fans because new release after new release will be hitting the stores from September on. This year, things will look a little different due to COVID-19 but we will still present the most important game releases for September 2020.
August brought us Fall Guys, PGA Tour 2K21, or Project Cars 3, but there are also some game highlights waiting for us next month. Here are the most important game releases in September 2020.
Iron Harvest
- Platform: PC
- Release: September 1
A new RTS game from Germany which is also based on the genre hit Company of Heroes with a fresh setting, diesel-punk robots, and might be esports-compatible? Maybe the next StarCraft II is waiting for us?
Marvel's Avengers
- Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X
- Release: September 4
The ultimate superhero game was not quite as ultimate in the beta, but that may change. After all, a game about Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow and Thor designed as an action-adventure game will be supplied with new content for years to come.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2
- Plattform: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Basketball fans can lace up their sneakers for NBA 2K21 at the beginning of September, even if publisher 2K will have to make up for the previous poorly received version of the game.

Crysis Remastered

The new edition to the shooter hit which hardly any gaming PC was able to master on the original release in 2007 is finally available for consoles. The Remaster runs on the new version of the CryEngine and with technical improvements like better HD textures, new particle effects and software-based ray tracing, it is dressed to impress. This could be a next-gen graphics before the actual next-gen launches.
Baldur's Gate 3 (Early Access)
- Platform: PC, Google Stadia
- Release: September 30th
The cult RPG series Baldur's Gate returns at the end of September. Come to think of it, Part 2 of the series released almost 20 years ago! Anyway: Part 3 will be released on PC exclusively for Google Stadia. The role-playing game is being developed by Larian Studios who have impressively demonstrated their skills with the Divinity series. This will be the ideal game for this coming rainy autumn.
September starts quite hot for the gaming world but drops off noticeably towards the middle, and at the end of the month, it goes full throttle again.
