"The spooky season is here and it's packed with a terrifying number of new game releases. October is always a busy month but this year, it feels even more overwhelming than usual. Ghost of Yotei, the latest prestige open-world blockbuster from Sony, kicks things off this week while the team behind Shovel Knight wraps up the month with Mina the Hollower, their teeny, tiny, cozy homage to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, debuting on Halloween."
"In between, we're getting the return of franchises with a lot to prove in Battlefield 6, Ninja Gaiden 4, and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, as well as other big sequels in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and The Outer Worlds 2. And don't lose track of some of the top-wishlisted games on Steam coming in October, including Little Nightmares 3 and Arc Raiders."
October 2025 features an exceptionally crowded release calendar with 55 scheduled titles spanning AAA blockbusters, franchise sequels, and indie projects. Major releases include Ghost of Yotei on October 2 and Mina the Hollower debuting on Halloween. Returning franchises with high expectations include Battlefield 6, Ninja Gaiden 4, and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, alongside big sequels Pokémon Legends: Z-A and The Outer Worlds 2. Popular wishlisted Steam entries arriving include Little Nightmares 3 and Arc Raiders. The volume of releases creates both opportunity and competition, posing challenges for the video game industry while offering players abundant choices and possible choice paralysis.
