The GamesRadar+ Fall Preview is here to be your companion as sunny days fade away and the colder and darker months tempt us back inside to revel in some cozy gaming while staying warm. While one game is set to dominate – GTA 6 when it releases on November 19 – we're eschewing the titan for now to focus on some alternative new releases that equally deserve a spot on your radar.
In fact, because of GTA 6's release date, we've noticed that many games seem to be landing either side of it to avoid the blast radius, meaning that September and October are specially packed with contenders for the best RPGs, best shooters, and more. It's this period we're focusing on below, but at least one December pick has made it in. We have to follow our hearts. Below, we're breaking down our Fall Preview most wanted list genre by genre. There's plenty for everyone to enjoy.
We're already in the middle of a storm of new games we've been giving our verdicts on that are well worth your time, with our The Blood of Dawnwalker review discussing the ambitious new RPG, our Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy review spotlighting a bold adventure from a talented but small team, and our Star Wars Zero Company review exploring a genuine tactics competitor.
While you're reading, consider joining the GamesRadar+ Community for more curated picks going forward.

Insomniac Games is the most prolific of the PlayStation Studios group during the PS5 era. But for as much as we loved our time with Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and two titles set within the Marvel's Spider-Man universe, there's something about its spin on Wolverine that we can't turn away from. Between the berserker action and unrelenting ultra-violence, tight linear focus and large suite of supporting characters, Marvel's Wolverine looks every bit the Logan-focused adventure we've always wanted to play. If you're after an action-adventure game this fall, you needn't look any further than this PS5 exclusive come September 15.
Capcom's winning streak will continue with Onimusha: Way of the Sword. This fast-paced action game is all about the art of the duel; refining your swordsmanship as you battle your way up to punishing monstrosities ripped from the underworld. PC, PS5, and XSX owners who are sick of Soulslikes won't want to miss the return of Onimusha come September 4.
There's nothing quite like the rush of adrenaline that you get from an Ace Combat game. Wings of Theve is built around high-speed action and adventure; intense aerial combat across truly gorgeous living skies. Ace Combat 8 is guaranteed to set a new benchmark for the long-running series when it takes flight, jetting onto PC, PS5, and XSX on October 1.
The lockdown protecting New York City from the high-strangeness within The Oldest House has been breached. The Hiss have spilled onto the streets, and an AWE has brought Manhattan to the brink of paranatural annihilation. Containment isn't a task for Jesse Faden but her brother, Dylan. Control Resonant is a daring sequel, pushing developer Remedy Entertainment into slick action-RPG territory. You'll wield a shapeshifting melee weapon called the Aberrant, hone your playstyle through vast skill development, and master speedy power combinations to survive. Control Resonant is brilliant, and available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X come September 24.
