🎮 September 2025 Game Releases: Silksong, Silent Hill, Borderlands & More

[etfs]

Gamers, it’s happening. September 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most stacked months in years. After endless delays, memes, and crushed hopes, some of the most anticipated titles of the decade are finally landing — and there’s something here for everyone.

(Yes, we tried to squeeze in Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Drift, but it didn’t make the cut. Tragic.)

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Release Date: September 4
Platforms: PC, macOS, Linux, Switch, Switch 2, PS4/PS5, Xbox One, Series X/S, Game Pass Day One

It’s finally here. After years of radio silence from Team Cherry and a cottage industry of memes doubting it would ever exist, Silksong arrives. You’ll take control of Hornet, leaping through a vast new world of secrets, traps, and brutal bosses. For fans of precision Metroidvania gameplay, this might be the release of 2025.

🤱 Baby Steps

Release Date: September 23 (delayed from Sept
Platforms: PC, PS5

From the creator of QWOP comes a “literal walking simulator.” You play as Nate, a failson who discovers his hidden talent: putting one foot in front of the other. Expect comedy, frustration, and plenty of streamers screaming at their screens.

Borderlands 4

Release Date: September 12 (Switch 2 on Oct 3)
Platforms: PC, PS5, Series X/S, Switch 2 (later)

The looter-shooter franchise refuses to die, and thank goodness. Borderlands 4 brings new characters, a fresh story, and adds an outpost takeover mechanic plus a customizable Digirunner vehicle. More chaos, more guns, more mayhem.

Henry Halfhead

Release Date: September 16
Platforms: PC, PS5, Switch

A whimsical puzzle-world in the vein of Katamari Damacy. You play as Henry, a half-headed being who can inhabit objects — from knives to teapots — to solve puzzles. Charming, strange, and one to watch for cozy gamers.

🧟 Dying Light: The Beast

Release Date: September 19 (PS4 & Xbox One later 2025)
Platforms: PC, PS5 (incl. Pro), Series X/S

Kyle Crane is back, but after a decade of captivity and experiments, he’s… different. New powers, new senses, and maybe a darker side. Expect plenty of parkour, horror, and questions about who the real “Beast” is.

Silent Hill f

Release Date: September 25
Platforms: PC, PS5, Series X/S

Konami is finally trying to give Silent Hill the comeback it deserves. Set in 1960s Japan, this entry offers a fresh setting and horrifying new monsters. Trailers hint at melee combat, which is risky for the series, but fans are cautiously optimistic that this could be the rebirth Silent Hill has needed.

️ Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles

Release Date: September 30
Platforms: PC, PS4/PS5, Series X/S, Switch, Switch 2

The beloved tactical RPG returns with a fully voiced script, updated art, new difficulty modes, and auto-save. A political tale of corruption and power wrapped around grid-based battles — it might just be the definitive way to play one of Square Enix’s greatest spin-offs.

Final Thoughts

September 2025 is a buffet:

For hardcore action fans: Silksong, Dying Light: The Beast.

For horror lovers: Silent Hill f.

For loot & grind addicts: Borderlands 4.

For strategy brains: Final Fantasy Tactics.

For weird indie fans: Henry Halfhead, Baby Steps.

Gamers are eating good this month. Silksong and Silent Hill f dropping within weeks of each other is wild — I honestly can’t remember the last time September felt this stacked.

Borderlands 4 + Final Fantasy Tactics in the same lineup feels like 2010 and 2025 collided — nostalgia + new mechanics, exactly what we needed.
