What to Play in August: 13 Notable Upcoming Games

Action-adventure
Out August 27 for Switch

A (timed) Switch exclusive like 2019's Travis Strikes Again, the pandemic-delayed No More Heroes 3 is the first numbered entry in Suda51's humorous, cult hit, genre-blending action-adventure series in over a decade. This time, beam katana-wielding protagonist Travis Touchdown is back in his hometown of Santa Destroy after a self-imposed exile, and it appears that extraterrestrials have invaded the town while he was away. But the winner of a galactic superhero tournament will determine the fate of Earth, so who better than Travis to be that hero—provided he can raise enough cash to cover the entry fee. Oh, and for longtime fans of No More Heroes, don't worry: Lawn Mowing Simulator isn't the only game with lawn mowing action out this month.
