What to Play in September: 17 Notable Upcoming Games

Action-adventure
Out September 10 for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Switch

The latest indie to get a release under the "EA Originals" banner, Lost in Random is a new single-player action-adventure fantasy game from Swedish developer Zoink (best known for Fe). Featuring visuals reminiscent of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, the whimsical game tasks you with playing as Even, a young woman who must embark on a dangerous journey throughout a gothic fairy tale realm (the Kingdom of Random) to rescue her sister, Odd, after the latter is abducted by an evil queen. You'll be accompanied by a sentient die, Dicey, and gameplay borrows numerous aspects from board games (including dice rolls, strategic card plays, and a game board-like design) as well as RPGs (including the ability to converse with NPCs).
