September is serving up some serious gaming nostalgia, with a mix of old favourites making a comeback and fresh updates.

Whether you’re in the mood to break a sweat with a virtual pop star, show off your dribbling skills, or finally play as Princess Zelda herself, this month’s lineup has got you covered. Grab your controllers and get ready to dive into some epic gaming sessions this month.

Fitness Boxing featuring Hatsune Miku - Nintendo Switch

Release date: Sept 5

We're already more than halfway through the year, and if you're thinking about revisiting that New Year's resolution to get fit, perhaps now's the right time — with Hatsune Miku as your coach!

The virtual idol will guide you through boxing routines as you keep pace with the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controls. And if you're still playing this game by year's end, you can thank her for helping you stay in shape.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection - PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch

Release date: Sept 6

After 13 long years, Capcom has finally decided to officially translate and release the second part of Miles Edgeworth's adventure in the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection.

This set also includes the first game and features brand new upgraded character sprites and remixed music, but for purists, the original graphics and BGM are also available.

NBA 2K25 - PC, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Series S|X, Nintendo Switch

Release date: Sept 6

Another year, another refresh for the most popular basketball video game. Early impressions suggest that top players truly mimic their real-life counterparts, while improved AI teammates excel both in offence and defence.

New dribbling mechanics make ball handling feel more fluid too, and developer Visual Concepts promises additional tweaks that will enhance the overall experience when the game launches.

Astro Bot - PlayStation 5

Release date: Sept 6

All PS5 owners should play Astro's Playroom (it's free, so why not?). It's the perfect adventure to showcase the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of your new DualSense controller.

In just a few days, Astro Bot will take PlayStation's new mascot on a fresh set of diverse worlds to explore. You'll meet new friends, try out new powers, and meet all sorts of fun cameo characters from the PlayStation world.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 - PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X

Release date: Sept 9

This hack-and-slash video game is a brutal and satisfying action sequel to the 2011 title. Play solo, invite friends for the exclusive co-op mode, or show off your skills in a 6v6 team battle.

The game does a fantastic job of making you feel like one of mankind's greatest defenders, equipped with massively cool weapons and the ability to plough through obstacles with sheer brute strength.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Nintendo Switch

Release date: Sept 26

A game called The Legend of Zelda starring Princess Zelda as the main character? Yes, please! Crafted in the Link's Awakening remake's art style, this game lets you play as Zelda and save Hyrule.

She can use the power of Echoes to create copies of things around her, allowing her to solve puzzles or defeat monsters. For example, you can build bridges out of old beds or create copies of monsters to fight by your side.

EA Sports FC 25 - PC, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Series S|X, Nintendo Switch

Release date: Sept 27

Now in its second year, developer EA is introducing "FC IQ", which promises to enable more in-depth tactical play. But let's be real — we're mostly looking forward to playing the game with the bros to settle, once and for all, who the best club football team in Europe really is (hint: it's not Manchester United).
