This New Releases episode takes a look at some of the biggest games coming out in September. The new month kicks off with a bang, with the action-packed Marvel Avengers, the improved NBA 2K21, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 full of gimmicks all dropping on the same day. There are also two major re-releases on the horizon: Crysis Remastered and Mafia: Definitive Edition.
Marvel’s Avengers – September 4
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Stadia
Unsurprisingly, Avengers allows you to team up with friends to face threats together. There’s a whole squad of superheroes to choose from, including Iron Man, Black Widow, The Hulk, and more. Of course, each hero has their own set of powers and abilities, and you can rank them up by collecting loot and completing skill trees.

This year’s game makes improvements to the Pro Stick system to help you dribble and shoot better. MyTeam and MyCareer have also been revamped. NBA 2K21 is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X later this year, but you should know that cross-generation gameplay will not be possible with the new versions.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 – September 4
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC
This is a double dose of remastered skateboarding, bringing the first two games in the Tony Hawk series into the modern era. It also includes mechanics that weren’t part of those early games, like custom skaters and skate parks. Since the soundtrack has also been so closely tied to the games over the years, fans will be happy to know that there are 37 new songs included here.

Crysis Remastered – September 18
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC
Crysis Remastered is out now on Switch, but now players on other platforms can get their hands on it. The remaster includes new 8K textures, improved lighting, and ray tracing support. Crysis was once the benchmark game for PC, but now it should look even better as you make your way across an island occupied by enemy soldiers and alien invaders.
Mafia: Definitive Edition – September 25
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC
Mafia: Definitive Edition isn’t just a remastering – the game has been totally remade from scratch. It also has new story content, so those of you who played the original back in the day will still be in for a few surprises. Definitive Edition can also be experienced in 4K if you have the hardware for it.
