After a quiet few months, September lastly hits the gasoline, and our listing of month-to-month PC recreation happenings is crammed with model new adventures, collection continuations, 1.0 updates, and occasions galore. I am nonetheless enjoying catch-up after Gamescom, and now we have Tokyo Recreation Present queued up quickly. It is the identical schedule yearly, however in some way I am all the time caught off guard.
The Blood of Dawnwalker kicked off the month with a delightfully dismal vampire RPG from the Witcher veterans at Insurgent Wolves. Then you definately’ve bought all month to suck blood as Coen (or be a great two-shoes and abstain, I suppose) earlier than Silent Hill: Townfall and Management Resonant launch on the identical rattling day. It appears all the things I have been ready all 12 months to play has crammed into this 4-week window, and that is not even counting all the massive updates.
The Witcher 3 Remastered is definitely among the many most notable updates, and everybody who owns the unique will get the RPG’s makeover totally free (together with its DLC). It will be my first time enjoying, so between that and Valheim 1.0, I will be a lot busy till 2027.

September 2026 PC Gamer highlights

I am utilizing this little field to specific how September’s crammed calendar has victimized me, particularly. I like broody protagonists, RPGs with kissing, vampires that seem like correct monsters, and, nicely, monsters typically. You’ll assume one in every of these items may transfer into October when it is correct spooky season, however no, I am gonna have to take a seat with my FOMO as my colleagues play no matter video games from this month’s highlights I’ve to skip. I am spoiled by selection right here.
Steam | I have been loving The Blood of Dawnwalker, however you do not have to take my broody, vampire-obsessed phrase for it. Shaun known as it “one in every of finest motion RPGs [he’s] performed in years,” in his Blood of Dawnwalker review.
Steam | I’ve to say it each time: I nonetheless cannot consider we’re in a Silent Hill renaissance. I am hoping Townfall continues this pattern of 1 banger launch after one other, and from how Fraser explains his time as Simon in a hellish model of Scotland, it has an opportunity.
Steam | After years of insisting I might not like Management’s gameplay, I lastly beat it final month and ate crow. Because it seems, I am filled with it, and I really like all the things about Management. Whereas I’m a little bit anxious about Dylan’s melee brawling, I’ve realized my lesson and can give little brother Faden a good shot later this month.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered
Steam | The Witcher 3 is one other RPG I am late to the occasion for, however in my protection, it has an excellent and really distracting card recreation. I do not know what number of instances I’ve booted up Geralt’s journey solely to play Gwent for ten hours earlier than stopping, however this looks as if a great alternative to interrupt the cycle.
