Apart from Baldur’s Gate 3 taking the gaming community by storm, August is packed with games spanning all genres and platforms. There are several big-name developers like FromSoftware, Deck13, and EA who are all set to launch their titles this month. As there is an enormous list of games coming out, it can get overwhelming to pick out the best titles from the bunch. Worry not, as we have a curated list of some of the most promising games that will hit the shelves in August. Keep in mind that these games are not ranked in any order.

Upcoming Games for August

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an upcoming survival horror multiplayer game that features an asymmetrical style of gameplay. The game inspired by the iconic 1974 horror movie, will feature an online multiplayer mode similar to what we have seen from other games in this genre like Dead by Daylight, Friday the 13th: The Game, and Ghostbusters: Spirit Unleashed. We hope to see enhanced gameplay elements that separate the game from other titles present in the genre.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will be released on 18th August for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.

Atlas Fallen

This new action RPG made by Deck13 features gameplay elements that would remind you of older God of War games. From what we have gathered so far, the gameplay seems to be really fluid and intuitive. Players can glide through the sands of a timeless land and hunt legendary monsters using their shape-shifting weapons and sand-powered abilities. The game also boasts a seamless online co-op with one other friend.

Atlas Fallen will be available from 10th August for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Ride 5

The Grand Turismo of the motorcycles is back with its 5th iteration, this time featuring several graphical improvements such as spontaneous weather patterns, fluid game mechanics, and so on. Players get access to over 35 tracks and over 200 motorcycles from world-renowned manufacturers. The game also has the option for split-screen co-op to duke it out with another friend.

 Ride 5 will be available from 24th August for PlayStation5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Madden NFL 24

EA’s newest installment of the popular American football series brings in technological advancements like FieldSENSE and Sapien technology seen on the 2024 versions of EA Sports FC and NBA series. This allows for a more immersive football experience by increasing control of throwing, catching, and tackling along with a whole suite of new animations. The game also allows for crossplay across the current-gen consoles and PC.

Madden NFL 24 will be available from 18th August for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Players who pre-order the game can access it starting from 15th August.

Note that newer features like FieldSENSE and Sapien tech are not available on older-gen consoles.

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon

FromSoftware aims to return to its roots with its latest mech game. In collaboration with Bandai Namco, they will release the 6th installment nearly a decade after the previous Armored Core game. Although the game features the traditional multiplayer mode, FromSoftware has specifically focused on providing a compelling single-player experience for new and returning fans alike. 

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon will be released on 25th August for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 , Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC
