With September about to end, you might be wondering about October's biggest releases. Seeing as the fall release season is in full swing, next month is packed with just as many big new games from the industry's most noteworthy franchises. You can expect games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and Luigi's Mansion 3. Amid all these big names are new expansions, indie games, and re-releases. You might want to spend another 100+ hours The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or Overwatch with their respective Nintendo Switch ports. Of course, the long-awaited Kickstarted indie action-RPG Indivisible might suit your fancy just as well. WWE 2K20 is making the rounds in October with tons of wrestlers to choose. But if you're big into Destiny 2, then all these other games may mean nothing to you since you're more keen to play the Shadowkeep expansion for the rest of the year. And since the free-to-play New Light version of the game is coming out on the same day, newcomers can jump in with fewer obstacles than before. It's safe to say that there are plenty of games coming in October, and if you're all about knowing when each one is releasing, then you're in the right place.
