There's suddenly a terrifying number of games releasing this fall

While Steam always sees plenty of daily releases, the calendar for big-budget games has felt thin this year. Repeat delay announcements from titles trying to escape the GTA 6 gigaton sales detonation suggested the back half of the year might stay light. Until this week.

Thanks to recent showcase reveals, the schedule has suddenly packed up. Here's a selection of back-to-back launches from the end of August onwards: August 27: Star Wars Zero Company; September 3: The Blood of Dawnwalker; September 17: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4; September 24: Control Resonant; September 24: Silent Hill: Townfall; September 24: Valor Mortis; September 25: Onimusha: Way of the Sword; September 30: Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered; October 1: Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve; October 6: Star Wars: Galactic Racer; October 13: Planet Zoo 2; October 15: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse.

That's just a selection. Widen the scope a little and you pick up more launches like August 4's Beast of Reincarnation and October 28's Phantom Blade Zero.
