Five Major Game Releases of September 2026: From Wolverine to Silent Hill

September 2026 promises to be a particularly action-packed month for the gaming industry. Over the course of several weeks, PC and modern consoles will see the launch of multiple major projects, including the return of iconic franchises, high-profile adaptation universes, and sequels to famous gaming series. The month's calendar features new adventures, horrors, large-scale action titles, and role-playing games. While some projects rely on familiar heroes, others bring back series that fans have been waiting for for years. Here are the five most notable September releases.

The Blood of Dawnwalker

September began with The Blood of Dawnwalker, a dark role-playing game with action and horror elements. The project transports the player into a world where supernatural forces become part of a large-scale conflict, leaving the main protagonist directly in the center of a war between various factions. One of the game's key features is non-linearity.

The developers are focusing on moral decisions that can influence the story's progression, while the combat system combines direct encounters, stealth, and the use of supernatural abilities. Since September 3, the game has been available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Just one day after the release of The Blood of Dawnwalker, another famous franchise makes its return. Onimusha: Way of the Sword takes players back to the era of feudal Japan, where a samurai must stand against demonic forces. Dynamic katana combat forms the core of the game, though the developers intend to complement it with a mystical component.

Players can expect large-scale battles, location exploration, and confrontations with creatures from the supernatural world. The project was released on September 4 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2.

Marvel’s Wolverine

Mid-month, attention shifts to one of Marvel's most famous characters. September 15 sees the release of Marvel’s Wolverine, a standalone game about Logan developed by Insomniac Games. In contrast to the lighter tone of some superhero games, Wolverine relies on a darker narrative.

At the center of the plot are Logan's past and his inner conflicts, while the gameplay is built around brutal close-quarters combat. Wolverine's primary weapon will, of course, remain unchanged: his adamantium claws. In combat, the character will be able to rely not only on them, but also on his regeneration ability, which is one of the hero's most essential traits. The game is announced as a PlayStation 5 exclusive and will release on September 15.

Control Resonant

The final week of September promises to be especially dense. September 24 will bring several notable releases, including a new entry in the Control universe from Remedy Entertainment. Control Resonant continues the story of this unusual universe built around paranormal phenomena, bringing Dylan Faden to the forefront. After a lengthy imprisonment, he returns to the Federal Bureau of Control at a moment when the organization is facing a new para-natural crisis. P

layers will once again experience unusual abilities, reality-altering environments, and Remedy's signature blend of science fiction, mystery, and psychological thriller. Furthermore, the new game aims to expand the connections between the studio's various projects and the shared Remedy Connected Universe. The release is set for September 24 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Silent Hill: Townfall

On the same day, horror fans can look forward to a new story in the Silent Hill universe. Silent Hill: Townfall shifts the setting to a small town that gradually turns into a realm of nightmare. The creators are focusing primarily on atmosphere—one of the key elements that earned the Silent Hill series its cult status.

Players will explore the town, solve puzzles, and piece together the unfolding events while confronting terrifying shifts in the surrounding world. Combining elements of survival horror and adventure, the project aims to preserve the psychological tension characteristic of the series. The game releases on PC and PlayStation 5 on September 24.
