The Most-Anticipated Videogames Coming This Fall
Don't be too sad that summer's ending: It just means that the year's biggest videogames are about to start rolling out over the coming weeks. In the gallery above, we preview this fall's most-anticipated game releases headed to every console (and PC), from Red Dead Redemption 2 to a bunch of games that aren't Red Dead Redemption 2.
Out September 14 for PC/PS4/XB1. The third game in the rebooted action-adventure series follows 2013's Tomb Raider and 2015's Rise of the Tomb Raider, which both impressed critics. This time, PS4 owners won't have to wait an extra year to play; all platforms get the game in a few weeks.
In Shadow, which concludes the origin story of Lara Croft, your heroine is operating at the height of her powers—but you find yourself confronted by a series of difficult decisions, where the right thing for Lara might not be the most morally correct option. Exploration (including in the South American jungle and underwater environments), puzzle-solving, and attacking are all in the service of Lara's ultimate goal this game: to save the world from a Maya apocalypse. Gameplay appears to be similar to the past two games, with critics finding that both a good and bad thing in early play-throughs.
