We are but mere days away from October, and that’s when the video game industry is going to start dropping some big games. Metaphor: ReFantazio, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are just a few of the big releases coming out next month. Luckily, things are a little less crowded now that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been pushed to February, but odds are you’re looking forward to at least some things coming out in the next few weeks. This is your last weekend to chip away at the backlog before inevitably adding something new to it. We have a few suggestions for how you can spend your off-time.
