Release dates: every game confirmed for 2018

We’re well into 2018 now and even though we’ve already seen some epic game releases, there’s still plenty more big hitters to come.

As we do every year, we’ve gathered as many release dates as possible in one place for you to check out anytime. The list is updated daily, and though we do try to include as many games as possible, some inevitably slip.

All the major releases will be here, though, so don’t fret. If you want to return to the entire 2017 release list anytime, you can do so via the link below:

Every game released for PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One in 2017

Here are all the confirmed release dates for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One games. These are the Western release dates, and always the earliest – whether that is US, worldwide, or European dates. We sometimes also highlight other anticipated releases like DLCs, betas, big updates and so on.

The list will be split into even more months and seasons the more release dates get confirmed.

January

May

The month before E3 wasn’t really quiet, having had plenty to look forward to throughout. The biggest release has obviously been Dark Souls Remastered towards the end of the month.

Well before this classic re-release, though, games like Pillars of Eternity 2, Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia, the Switch port of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and the full release of Conan Exiles kept us entertained.

Warhammer 40,000 fans had Space Hulk: Deathwing to get stuck in. And if you didn’t dabble in any of that, perhaps games like State of Decay 2 or the dark cyberpunk future of Detroit: Become Human caught your attention.

June

June is obviously E3 month. While most of us spent the first half of June in E3 speculation mode, mostly followed by excitement once the show opened, the second half of June has been business as usual for game releases.

That’s how it’s typically been the last few years, though things were a bit different this time around. Before E3 shenanigans kicked off on June 9, a few anticipated indie and smaller games were released. We’re talking about Vampyr, Onrush, and the full release of Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr.

If none of these heavy hitters managed to grab your attention, perhaps Far Cry 5’s Vietnam-themed Hours of Darkness DLC, The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset expansion, or the anticipated BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle did that instead.

A few days after E3 week, things picked up again with the release of Wolfenstein 2 on Switch, Fighting EX Layer, and what was possibly the biggest release in the month: The Crew 2.

July

Mega Man X Legacy Collection

We kicked things off in July with the release of Red Faction: Guerrilla Remastered, before a few indies joined the fray. Co-op shooter Earthfall, Insane Robots, and Mushroom Wars 2 on Switch were among them.

Not many bigger-profile games had planned release dates in July, with the Mega Man X Collection 1&2, and Sonic Mania Plus having been the exceptions. But that’s not all, the anticipated release of Vermintide 2 on Xbox One, Octopath Traveler on Switch, and WarioWare Gold on 3DS kept some of us busy in the second half of July.

August was the calm before the storm in September. While some of us were saving their cash for the onslaught to come, others were content to dabble into some of August’s most interesting games.

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, Overcooked 2, We Happy Few, Death’s Gambit, Guacamelee 2 were just some of the names. Sports fans had both Madden NFL 19, and PES 2019 to enjoy.

September

Summer has finally ended and we are well and truly heading into autumn. September officially was the start of that period, of course, which meant getting our hands on plenty of big games.

Games like Spider-Man, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Destiny 2: Forsaken, Life is Strange 2, and Dragon Quest 11. That only scratches the surface of what September had in store for us, though. Smaller, more niche titles like SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, and Valkyria Chronicles 4 were also ones to watch.

And just like every year, September 2018 was FIFA month, but FIFA 19 was far from alone in the sports category. NBA 2K19, NBA Live 19, and NHL 19 all dropped during the month.

October

We made it, folks! Welcome to the hottest season of the year for games. Practically anything major left is coming out in October. The list may look smaller than previous months, but it is loaded with AAA games.

The most anticipated one of them has to be Red Dead Redemption 2, followed by Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, Soulcalibur 6, and Starlink: Battle for Atlas.

Assuming you have any money left after that opening salvo, you may want to check out Forza Horizon 4, Mega Man 11, For Honor’s first DLC in months – and Call of Cthulhu on the smaller-budget side.

2019

The start of 2019 looks set to be as exciting as the closing months of 2018 with some big releases such as Kingdom Hearts 3, Anthem and Metro Exodus in the first two months alone. Several games scheduled for 2019 don’t actually have a release date yet, so we’ll take a look at games with a definite release date first.

January 2019

Again, January has a few big releases in 2019 with the likes of Kingdom Hearts 3, Tropico 6 and the New Super Mario Bros. U. Deluxe. The long-awaited Resident Evil 2 Remake will also be dropping in January as well as Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.
