Happy Monday to all the beautiful gamers out there, and welcome back to This Week In Games Australia! On the full flip side of last week, David is out today trying to squeeze as much as possible out of the long weekend, which is really well deserved. The man works too hard, he may take a break as a small treat. Given his absence, I’ve jumped in the big man’s chair (not literally, we live in different cities) and bring this week’s games to you!
This week is actually a pretty big week for releases, but this week’s biggest game is obvious. Come on guys we know it is FIFA 23. the day of a FIFA release was a day I dreaded as a store clerk. We’ll see that bad boy release at the end of the week, but if you were one of the lucky few who managed to get your hands on the game during their Big Leak, this release date won’t mean anything to you. On the other hand, you could also be banned for playing it, so who knows. Oh, and Ted Lasso is there too!
Anyway, let’s get on with it. Here’s what’s coming this week!
September 27
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic (PC)
For anyone desperately looking for World of Warcraft to go back to ‘how it was’, this will be the release for you.
The Ghost and the Mouse (PC/Switch)
This is a game that I’ve been really excited about since its announcement. Think Chibi-Robo meets Ratatouille.
Kena: Bridge of Ghosts (PC/PS4/PS5)
This will be when the Steam version comes out, but also when the anniversary update comes to the console version as well. I’ve discussed what’s included in this update before, and I think it’s the perfect time for anyone thinking about it kena to get there.
September 28
Moonscars (PC/XBX/PS/NS)
Good lord, this game definitely looks sick. A 2D pixel-art souls-like platform slasher where you play a cool lady with long white hair? And the beasts look terrifying? Sign me up. It’s also been on Game Pass from day one, so you know I’ll be working on it right away.
Tunic (PS/NS)
Tunicis finally coming out of Xbox exclusivity and making its way to PlayStation and Switch this week. When I first played it, it lost me, but when I tried again, I got lost in it.
Hokko Leven (XBX/PS/NS)
The PC’s response to: Animal Crossing leaves early access this week and goes to consoles. Of course there are many differences between Hokko Life and Animal Crossingso I’m excited to see what they have in store.
September 29
Life is Strange: Arcadia Bay Collection (NS)
After a long wait, you can now play through the heartbreaking ones life is strange series in a lavatory stall of your local shopping center. The line outside grows, and someone even knocks on the door, but you get too caught up in the story, just as God intended.
Brewmaster (PC/XBX/PS)
Have you ever been to a brewery and thought: this is easy. I could do this easily. I have seen The Simpsons and I have several bathtubs.” Well, now there is a game for you. Go brew!
Dorfromantik (NS)
Dorfromantik has to be one of the most beautiful and soothing games out there. If you’ve played it, you’ll know exactly why. This city builder is heading to Switch this week, so hopefully even more people can experience it.
Valkyrie Elysium (PS)
This is the first mainline Valkyrie Profile game coming to a PlayStation console since 2007. It looks beautiful, I have no idea what’s going on, but I like it.
September 30th
Airoheart (PC/XBX/PS/NS)
This bad boy is an Australian title! Airoheart is a Zelda-inspired dungeon crawler is coming later this week, and it just looks amazing.
Rabbit park (XBX/PS/NS)
This is one of two games from Cozy Bee Games to leave the PC exclusivity and come to consoles this week. You run your own bunny park and it’s just adorable. Huge win for rabbit fans out there.
Lemon cake (XBX/PS/NS)
And this is the other Cozy Bee Games title coming to consoles after only being on PC! You run your own little bakery and buy all the ingredients yourself. equal to Rabbit Parkit’s cute.
Paw Patrol: Grand Prix (PC/XBX/PS/NS)
What do you say? “Dogs can’t even drive!” Think again, dumb-dum. Dogs CAN drive, and they drive in a Grand Prix. If there is time to see how your own dog is doing behind the wheel, now is the time.
After Void (PS/XBX/NS)
The surreal, gory, and grotesque arcade-style first-person shooter is making its way to consoles this week, and as someone with epilepsy, I’m not sure I’ll be able to play it. But boy oh boy, I definitely want it. This looks crazy.
FIFA 23 (PC/PS/XBX/NS)
Don’t know what else to tell you FIFA 23 comes out at the end of the week. It will probably sell millions of copies, and you probably won’t see any of your loved ones playing the game for very long after it comes out. FIFA 23 will also be the last FIFA title under the EA name.
