Two Story Packs are scheduled to be released in 2026, with the first one planned for release in the first quarter of the year. Gearbox says its first Story Pack will be a bloody, cosmic-horror-inspired tale entitled Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned. As the title suggests, this DLC will star Moxxi's daughter Ellie, a trend that will continue in future DLC drops as players can expect to see a few familiar faces pop up.

Stroll by Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 display at PAX West and you'll see fans quietly playing the Divinity: Original Sin board game. Linger a little too long though, and you'll hear what sounds like a car crashing through a McDonald's drive-thru in the far corner of the show floor. And then another, and another. Follow the piercing sounds for long enough and you'll arrive at the Borderlands 4 Ripper Rage Room, by far the most ridiculous marketing stunt at this year's expo.

On top of that, smaller titles are releasing this month that are also vying for your attention, like Jetrunner, Hirogami, and Slime Rancher 2. Overall, expect to be spoiled for choice in September. You can see all our picks for the biggest releases below, and for a closer look at the rest of the year, you can check out 2025's upcoming game release dates.

"Grounding the humor in the world, he made it very clear that if I tried to put a meme in the game, he would come to my house with a baseball bat [laughs]. So, it was definitely in the brief from the beginning to make the tone fit the world."
