Large list of major releases of the month.
Summer is coming to an end, but still does not even smell of any “summer drought”. Yes, in August there are quite a few major releases, but there are fewer interesting projects in abundance.
The beginning of the month
The multiplayer partygame will go on sale on August 4 Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout – in it you will turn into a bean with legs and, as part of a group of 60 players, will take part in absurd challenges.
Will be released the same day Hellbound – another retro shooter with a clear oblique attitude to the classics of the nineties. Blood, guts, big guns and black humor – in recent years we have seen enough of all this in full, but fans of the genre will never be enough.
Puzzle Adventure Coming to PC and Consoles Relicta… According to the plot, a mysterious substance of alien origin is being studied in a laboratory on the moon, but the experiments, of course, get out of control. Now a single physicist will have to clean up the consequences of the accident.

On August 6, an old-school bitmap will appear on all platforms Clan N – it has four heroes to choose from and only seven levels, but each is packed with different gameplay mechanics.
On the 7th, for some reason, a car action movie will be released “Fast and Furious: Crossroads”… It would seem that mediocre games based on films have long moved to mobile gadgets, but “Fast and the Furious” decided to return to computers and consoles. However, the project still looks like it was created for smartphones.
Another important PlayStation 4 exclusive will reach PC on the same day – Horizon: Zero Dawn… The game will be released in a full edition with all the additions, as well as with many graphics settings, so that Aloy’s adventures could be appreciated by the owners of cars of various power.
8 August 1C will release Company of Crimes – turn-based tactics inspired by the films of Guy Ritchie: in it you have to build your own criminal empire in London of the 60s of the last century.

Middle of the month
An old-fashioned quest will go on sale on August 11 Willy morgan and the curse of bone town… The famous archaeologist goes missing, and ten years later, his son goes to an old pirate town to unravel the mystery of his father’s disappearance. Unpretentious character models, painted backdrops, inventory at the bottom of the screen – in general, everything is classic.
August 13 will open Hellraid – a project of truly unique destiny. It was originally developed as a standalone game, but after a few years in production hell it was downgraded to DLC status for Dying light… However, the essence has not changed over the years: it is still a dark first-person fantasy slasher.
A new game in the franchise will be released on the same day Total war saga… As a reminder, this is a series of spin-offs focusing on one specific period in the history of one specific country. IN Total War Saga: Troy the legendary Trojan War is in the spotlight. The plot will be interspersed with Greek mythology, but small and mundane – without a bias towards fantasy.
Also on August 13, a game for inveterate arachnophobes will go on sale – Kill It With Fire… You will be offered to exterminate domestic spiders using a rich and extremely destructive arsenal: from bullets and shurikens to explosives.

The release will take place on August 14 EA Sports UFC 4… However, the beta test did not impress fans of the series: they note that the changes in comparison with the previous part are minimal, and the models of the fighters have become even worse. But there were street fights.
On August 18, the loudest domestic RPG of recent years will finally reach consoles – Pathfinder: Kingmaker… Especially for the new edition, turn-based battles have been added to the game.
Will be released the same day Microsoft Flight Simulator… The game is able to interest even those who are absolutely not versed in aviation: it promises just a phenomenal study of cities and attractions. In fact, you can fly around the world without getting up from your chair.

A set of simulators of everything and everyone will also replenish PGA TOUR 2K21… Lots of big golf stars, elite courses, rich customization – in general, if you like swinging a club, this game is for you.

The project was created with the blessing of the creator of the original show, Gennady Tartakovsky.

Also on the 25th will be released arcade sports Street power football… Several modes offer a choice of freestyle dancing with a ball, shooting range, as well as matches with the use of superpowers. In short, less realism, more fun.

If your familiarity with the genre is limited Need for speed or Burnoutthen feel free to pass by. But if you actually spend a lot of time under the hood or are just a fan of realistic races, then you are welcome.
Another notable release “for insiders” is Madden NFL 21… However, they say that none of their other sports franchises Electronic Arts it didn’t cripple donate like Madden, so in the place of American football fans we would think three times before buying.
The relatively mainstream will be released on the same day Wasteland 3… The progenitor, and at the same time the spiritual heiress Fallout this time will send players to the snow-capped mountains of Colorado. It is there that a civil war flares up between the children of the local leader, and we are hired to stop it.

Fans of turn-based strategies with role-playing elements should be interested in Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars… You will be offered a choice of three armies of bloodsuckers: one is led by the relatively humane Dracula, the other is the cold-blooded Elizabeth, and the third is the nightmare ancient nosferatu.
Along with it will go on sale Nexomon: Extinction – a completely shameless clone of the early “Pokemon”, but beyond consoles alone Nintendo… There are even red and white Pokeballs, only in the form of pyramids.
But the bitmap claims originality Shing!… Its developers boast of an innovative combat system: the point is that the weapon is controlled not by buttons, but by a stick. Thus, the techniques should become more tactile and intuitive.
And on August 28th will be released Windbound – “survivor”, clearly inspired Breath of the wild… The main character survived the storm and ended up on the islands, which are inhabited by outlandish creatures and built up with mysterious ruins. If you’ve dreamed of a Zelda / survival hybrid, you’ve found it.
