Get Ready for an Epic October!

When it comes to video games, October is like a Halloween party where every game is dressed to impress! This month is brimming with exciting releases featuring ninjas, a sprinkle of sci-fi, and even an 8-bit mouse. Seriously, there’s a little something for every gamer out there!

Ninja Madness: Ninja Gaiden 4 Hits the Scene

Mark your calendars, folks! October is graced with the arrival of Ninja Gaiden 4, which makes it the fifth ninja-fueled extravaganza of the year and the third installment of the Ninja Gaiden saga. Who would’ve thought we’d be slicing and dicing through this many ninjas in just one year?

To give you the lowdown, we’ve already enjoyed titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance. And yes, even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown made a cameo! Each one has been a blast, so let’s hope the sword-wielding madness continues!

Ghost of Yōtei: A Sequel In Spirit Only

Dropping on October 2, 2025 for PlayStation 5, the highly-anticipated Ghost of Yōtei is stepping onto the scene! This isn’t a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima in any traditional sense. Nope, it’s a whole new story that takes place 329 years later, long after Jin Sakai’s heroics.

In this epic follow-up, you’ll join the fierce Atsu on a quest for vengeance against Lord Saito and his dastardly henchmen who eliminated her family. Prepare for breathtaking exploration around Mount Yōtei as you seek justice!

Super Mario Galaxy Takes a Trip Down Memory Lane

Also releasing on October 2, 2025 for Nintendo Switch (and enhanced for Switch 2), we have the nostalgic return of Super Mario Galaxy. Remember those days hopping around on the Wii? Well, Nintendo is making sure we can relive those glory days with some upgrades!

Revisiting this classic will let players choose between good ol’ motion controls or a more standard handheld style. Plus, for those easing into the game, there’s an assist mode. Oh, and let’s not forget: Switch 2 owners get to bask in the game’s shiny 4K graphics! Just remember, though, this nostalgia comes with a price tag of $70, so count your pennies!

Battlefield is Back and Battle-Ready

Get your guns out and mark October 10, 2025 on your calendar for the latest Battlefield installment on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Gamers are buzzing with excitement! Can EA manage to deliver a title that lives up to the hype? Fingers crossed!

This new chapter flaunts some fresh gameplay mechanics, including a shiny new feature called ‘Kinesthetic Combat’. Imagine leaning around walls, hitching rides on vehicles, and saving your buddies during the heat of battle. Sweet, right?

Destruction is still here, but don’t expect the maps to turn into complete chaos. More settings are in place to allow for tactical gameplay.
And a heads up: no ray tracing at launch, which is a bummer for the graphics enthusiasts out there.

Ninja Gaiden 4: The Main Event

On October 21, 2025, we finally get to dive into Ninja Gaiden 4, the latest entry in this iconic series that kicked off back in 2004. We’ll still see our beloved Ryu Hayabusa, but this time, we’ll be walking in the shoes of a new hero named Yakumo.

The experience is in the capable hands of Team Ninja, with some help from Platinum Games to amp up the action. Can’t wait to slice through enemies and enjoy the chaos!

Dispatch: Comedy Meets Superheroes

Rolling out on October 22, 2025 for PC and PlayStation 5, we have Dispatch. This isn’t just another superhero gig – it’s a hilarious workplace comedy! You’ll be working as a dispatcher, connecting heroes to crisis situations while managing a map of mayhem. Feeling overwhelmed? There’s a mini-game to ease you into the chaos!

With a star-studded cast, including Aaron Paul and Jeffrey Wright, prepare for witty banter and some quick-time events that’ll keep you on your toes!

The Outer Worlds 2: What a World!

On October 29, 2025, gear up for The Outer Worlds 2, coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Obsidian is really on a roll; this marks their third game this year! You get more decision-making than before and a plethora of new traversal options.

Don’t forget about character customization and six companions to pick along the way! With a new world to explore, let’s hope Obsidian can keep the magic alive with this sequel.

Mina the Hollower: Shovel Knight 2.0

Finally, on October 31, 2025, prepare for Mina the Hollower, the latest from the awesome Yacht Club Games. It’s been a long wait since Shovel Knight took the gaming community by storm in 2014, but we’re finally here!

Step into the shoes of Mina, a quirky mouse inventor who’s not afraid to dig underground and battle foes. If this one holds up to the stellar reputation of its predecessor, we’re looking at another classic in the making!
