Game Releases Of September 2013
This blog post collates together what games will be released this month for a cluster of different consoles. Which includes the likes of Killzone: Mercenary and GTA: V.
This blog post will focus on AAA titles, there’s quite a few games being released this month, believe it or not. Carry on reading to find out which ones!
They are listed below with a small description and a trailer (or gameplay).
Diablo 3
Although launching in May last year, Blizzard has decided not to make a new Diablo and keep with the install base and port the game to PS3 and Xbox 360. It is also slated for a PS4 release, but being as the developers got their dev kits quite late, there’s no news whether it’ll be a launch title or not.
Age: 15+
Consoles: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Playstation 4
Release Date: September 3rd (NA & EU)
As of now there’s been no confirmation of an Xbox One version.
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate
This is an enhanced version of DoA 5 and includes 5 new playable characters, as well as enhanced features taken from DoA 5 Plus
There is a total roaster of 29 characters, all DoA games are great so it may be worth picking it up for £25
Age: 16
Platforms: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (DoA 5 Plus is on Vita)
Release Date: EU= Already out – US= September 3rd
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse HD Remake
This is the HD remake of the original Sega Genesis game, a 2.5D platformer bound to bring back heaps of nostalgie to the player. The remake’s staff actually involves makers of the original game. I may say it looks pretty cool:
Age: E – Everyone
Platform: Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC
Release Date: September 3rd PSN, September 4th XBLA & PC (Worldwide)
Rayman Legends
The sequel to Rayman Origins , and trivially it is the 5th main entry to the franchise. Originally being a Wii U exclusive but has since gone multiplatform to hit a wider audience, for those of you who have picked it up already, what’s your review?
Age: 10+
Platforms:PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC
Release Date: EU = Already Out – US = September 3rd

Age: 12
Platforms: Playstation 3, PS Vita
Release Date: EU = Already out – US = September 3rd
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
This is the spiritual successor to Amnesia: The Dark Decent, this entrance to the series follows a new cast and also set in a different time period. I can’t wait to scare myself *insert word here*less playing it!
Age: 18
Platforms: PC, Mac OSX, Linux
Release Date: September 10th (EU & US)
Killzone: Mercenary
This is a game long in the waiting – well it seems like it anyway. The game, made by Guerrilla Cambridge is a top class game, judging by the Beta. And if you want an FPS that isn’t made in 6 months by a now defunct company, this is the way to go. I’m definitely picking it up, but next month because I spent this months paycheque on GTA V special edition (and a limited edition strategy guide)…… And I just bought a new TV which I went halfs with my brother for…… Aaaaand my iPod is being repaired which costs £75 to repair.
Last Friday of each month…. I’m waiting…

It’s 1AM now and I’m going to play Assassins Creed 3 which I got with PS Plus for free 🙂
Awesome list. Thanks
I really wish Pirate Warriors 2 had a physical release in NA. And an English release on Vita. I would import that in a heartbeat 😛
Amnesia and GTA V FTW!
I will take a look at Castle of Illusion as well, a lot of childhood memories. :3
Damn, Castle of Illusions is something i wait for good. Still have it on a original cart.
I got Killzone Mercenary today! It’s an absolutely great game, however I did have to lose the Arcade Darts, World of Pool & Arcade Airhockey&Bowling exploits. 🙁
Got Killzone: Mercenary today ADD ME! [Name is the same UraniumDude], Will be seeing lots of people online today for Killzone Mercenary.
Hi everyone!
Add “arthasfrozen” if you want to play some Diablo 3 or One piece with me.
PS: On playstation 3 that is!
Gonna have to get a new charger, cos it got all… muddy and wet 🙁 Until then… I shall wait for my charger so i can turn on my PS Vita so I can play Killzone Mercenery so I can play the first decent fps can so I can…….
Didn’t I Am Alive came out last year?
That’s strange, i wasn’t aware it was already out on PC, I just took Eurogamers word Dx
eurogamer.ne t /releases.php?platform=&month=9&year=2013
man scribblenauts unmasked VS lego marvel heroes…
I think I’m going for the latter
Already got Rayman Legends. Now going to get One Piece Pirate Warriors 2 and GTA V. 😀
Farming simulator? A machine for pigs? One piece? So they’ll call Anything triple A these days huh?
The reason for sticking Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs was because it’s production quality is quite high, and it deserves the discoverability – Not many indie games are actually 3D… If you’ve noticed.
Farming simulator I listed under ‘other games’ which won’t be as successful to be frank.
The ‘other games’ were announcements for old/indie games. (apart from Amnesia, of course)
Sorry to confuse you 😀
I actually thought about naming the ‘other releases’ as indie games. But I realised that Metro: 2033 is being released for Mac so I had to change it 🙂
Vita is fuken dead….we neeed cfw!! fk you sony!
Speak for yourself, ***. >_>
*Sigh* Another boring lame post, that everybody already know about….
Out of curiosity, what types of articles are you expecting?
In all honesty, i had no idea that Amnesia, Fifa 14, Diablo 3, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and a few others were being released this month. i thought Fifa was launching along side next gen consoles.
Your article was informative to me and I like it. I didn’t know of most of these releases either. I’m just asking the guy out of curiosity, not agreeing with his comment.
Seriously how do you not know? and you call yourselves gamers…
@mips, you’d be amazed at the amount of things I do not know. Parenthood does that to your free time.
Atelier Meruru Plus for Vita! 😀
Would love castle of ilusions and kingdom hearts HD on vita.
I’m surprised they are still making game for the PSP system. Even though it seem like they discontinued making games for it. I can only find a PSP system at gamestop and places like that. But I guess I was wrong.
I think the admin of this web site is truly working hard in favor of his web site, because here every stuff is quality based stuff.
