PlayStation 4 owners have been absolutely spoiled with great games in 2017. From game of the year contenders NieR: Automata and Yakuza 0 to ports of incredible games including Undertale and SUPERHOT, there’s been no shortage of amazing games to play. The schedule doesn’t look to be slowing down, though, and there are some great releases coming in the back half of 2017 as well.
To help fans of the powerful console know what games to check out later this year, PlayStation LifeStyle has come up with a list of 10 fall 2017 PS4 games that are worth anticipating. As one would expect, in order to make the list a game has to be available on PlayStation 4 (we also highlighted Vita games) and release in the fall of 2017. That means that 2018 releases like God of War and 2027 releases like Kingdom Hearts III won’t be on our list.
With that out of the way, check out our list below of 10 fall 2017 PS4 games worth anticipating!
We hope you enjoyed our look at 10 fall 2017 PS4 games that are worth anticipating. It’s worth noting that there are dozens of other cool looking games coming to Sony’s home console, such as Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana and the highly anticipated Knack II. So, there’ll be plenty to keep you busy in the back half of the year even if these games listed don’t do much for you.
Let us know in the comments below which fall 2017 PS4 games you’re looking forward to, and which games you’ve enjoyed playing on Sony’s home console this year.
