New games in September: One highlight chases the next

It comes as little surprise that the new games that await you in September are already littered with highlights. With over 50 titles coming out this month, it’s not even that easy to make a healthy selection of highlights.

For example, developer Naughty Dog presents “The Last of Us: Part 1,” the remake of its extremely popular blockbuster action adventure for the PS5 and computer. Publisher Electronic Arts sends you out onto the pitch again this year with “FIFA 23” as usual. However, the franchise is changing names with the next installment, which is why this will be the last “FIFA” title for the time being. And with “Return to Monkey Island”, the point-and-click adventure from the iconic developer Ron Gilbert from the 90s, which was thought to be dead, finally returns to the screens.

No. 1 “The Last of Us: Part 1”

Naughty Dog, together with Sony Interactive Entertainment, dropped the bombshell at this year’s Summer Game Fest.
