Onimusha’s first mainline in 20 years, Marvel’s Wolverine, Fire Emblem — September new releases

September is a month for planning, not buying

This one isn’t a sale roundup — it’s a calendar of September’s new releases. Only four of the ten above are playable right now; the rest arrive between September 10 and 29. So the useful question here isn’t “what do I buy” but “what do I judge, and when”.

Prices are as of recording, and three of these haven’t announced a price at all.

Four already have reviews. Six have nothing.

The first line that splits this lineup isn’t genre — it’s whether there’s anything to judge from.

Mewgenics, TCG Card Shop Simulator, RuneScape: Dragonwilds and My Hero Academia: All’s Justice are already out with reviews stacked up — roughly 53k, 49k, 29k and 975 respectively. You can read other people’s disappointments before spending. Onimusha has no user reviews yet, but critic scores landed early.

Dumb Ways to Build, Marvel’s Wolverine, Well Dweller and Minecraft Dungeons II give you a trailer and a store page. You’re buying on expectation, which makes the same price a different amount of risk.

“New release” means three different things here

All ten are September releases, but they split three ways.

Changing platforms — My Hero Academia launched on PC and PlayStation earlier this year and hits Switch 2 on September 4; Mewgenics followed its February PC release with a console version on September 8. These already exist, so the question isn’t whether to buy but which platform to buy on.

Leaving Early Access — TCG Card Shop Simulator hits 1.0 after two years, RuneScape: Dragonwilds after about a year and a half. Buy today and you get the same game; what changes is the word “finished”.

Actually new — the other six. Onimusha is the first mainline entry in 20 years and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave the first in three, which makes them the month’s center of gravity for series fans.

Your hardware cuts this list in half

This month, what you own decides what you can buy.

Onimusha, Mewgenics, TCG Card Shop Simulator, RuneScape, Well Dweller and Minecraft Dungeons II run on PC and consoles alike. But Marvel’s Wolverine is a PS5 exclusive and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is Switch 2 only. Those two carry the most buzz this month and simply aren’t options without the box.

Flip it around: if your Switch 2 has been sitting idle, September 4 and September 17 both give it something to do.

What’s safe now, and what’s worth waiting on

Where reviews exist, you can decide today. TCG Card Shop Simulator sits at Overwhelmingly Positive across roughly 49,000 — the safest pick of the month, and the cheapest. Mewgenics is Very Positive across roughly 53,000, but it has no Korean localization; for many readers that’s a language question, not a quality one.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds wears a survival-game face, but players call the combat Soulslike. If you’ve drained Valheim it’s the right next stop; if you wanted relaxed building and gathering, it isn’t.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, meanwhile, is already dividing people pre-launch over running at 30 FPS on a Switch 2 exclusive. At ₩89,800 it’s the priciest thing here, so if framerate matters to you, waiting for launch reviews costs you nothing.

Three things to check before you buy

First, language. Mewgenics has no Korean support; the rest do. Marvel’s Wolverine hasn’t confirmed.

Second, price. Dumb Ways to Build, Marvel’s Wolverine and Well Dweller had no announced price when this was written. The blanks above aren’t missing data — the numbers don’t exist yet.

Third, which edition. My Hero Academia sells its PC and Switch 2 versions separately at different prices. The figure above is the Switch 2 edition launching September 4.
