It usually ends up happening every year: there'll be one particular month where the release schedule goes bananas, and we're left wondering whether it'll be remembered as an all-timer.
Now, we're not saying that September 2026 is going to make history, but it's suddenly looking like one hell of a month for new PS5 games.
Thanks to The Blood of Dawnwalker locking in a 3rd September release date, we're now staring at a two-week period that features four potential bangers.
And the crazy part is that the second half of the month could soon become just as busy, depending on the dates that will inevitably be dished out over the summer.

Imagine the likes of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Halo: Campaign Evolved, or the new Fable settling for September as well. Sheesh.
So, right now, September 2026 looks like this:
- The Blood of Dawnwalker - 3rd September
- Phantom Blade Zero - 9th September
- Marvel's Wolverine - 15th September
- Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter - 17th September
In that order, we've got a highly anticipated RPG from ex-Witcher 3 devs, an action game that's looked incredible from the moment it was revealed, a PS5 exclusive from the masters at Insomniac Games, and what will almost certainly be one of the best JRPGs of the year.
At the time of writing, the latter half of 2026 is relatively sparse, but with GTA 6 seemingly secured for November, you're going to see a lot of titles targeting September and October over the coming months, in a bid to avoid Rockstar's juggernaut.

Will most of these even come out that month? We know how often games get delayed.
Really looking forwards to Wolverine - Insomniac have been amazing this generation.
I would be surprised if Capcom schedule Onimusha (another game Im really looking forwards to) near Sony's Wolverine as there seems to be some collaboration between Sony and Capcom of late - eg PSSR2 debut in RER.
The whole years been insane!
There should have been an option to pick more than one as Phantom Blade Zero is the only one I'm not particularly interested in.
I think a lot of games will be coming out in September and October. Everyone wants to avoid GTA6.
Yes, very insane indeed. Sept looks bonkers.
And then on top, you add in the biggest media release ever for mankind, dogs, cats, Martians, even aliens from Nebulon-5 system, to Kpax in the constellation Lyra with GTA6 and the fall slew gets even more bonkers!
Think those 4 are my most anticipated games of this year, now that RE9 is out.
Hoping to see more of Sony's Insomniac's Disney's Marvel's Wolverine™. Looks like it's got their usual degree of polish.
Phantom blade 0 for me, being hyped since day 1 it was shown off
I am afraid that Dawnwalker will be witcher 3 wanna be with dated graphics.
I've gotten pretty burnt out on the superhero stuff, so Blood of th... sorry... The Blood of Dawnwalker is my easy answer, but I'm actually pretty interested in Phantom Blade as well.
This isn't a dig at Wolverine. I'm sure it'll be great and I'll play it eventually - I like Wolverine much more than most other superheroes, but superheroes just don't really do it for me anymore. I even booted up Spider-Man 2 after it came to PS+, but something about it just hasn't grabbed me.
1/4 of the games getting 2/3 of the votes is pretty good, I guess we all know why we're here. 😁
Is GTA actually going to release in November? Feels like it's already had at least 1 big delay, if not 2, but I'm not that familiar with their work.
Would it's scheduled November release be bad for this year's CoD or is that a different market? Things seemed a little off last year for it though that might have been Gamepass related.
I am excited for Wolverine because Insomniac, but most hopeful for Dawnwalker.
Trails just has too many entries.
So surprised that as many people as I thought don’t have comic book burnout by that vote
Wolverine is my most anticipated release of the year to come, not just September. I am very excited for Blood of Dawnwalker, Phantom Blade Zero I have to see a bit more of but I'm tentatively quite excited for that was well.
Just Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter for me day one. The rest il get on sale later on or if they hit PlayStation Plus first.
Everything except Trails for me. Can't wait for Phantom Blade in particular. After Wolverine, that is definitely my big one to look forward to. Everything S-Game has shown has looked amazing, so really hope it delivers.
Wolverine got the most votes but I know nothing about that game.
Just Trails for me. Maybe Phantom Blade 0, we'll see.
Well its wise to stay well away from the nuke that drops in Nov.
Always Trails
Wolverine, phantom blade and dawnwalker
I'm getting trails but on sale
100% Wolverine #1, but Phantom Blade Zero is hot on its heels, for sure
Imagine October will be pretty loaded too
