What new PS4 games are coming out in October 2018? Perhaps a better question would be: what isn't releasing on the PlayStation 4 next month? There's no doubt that the biggest new title is Red Dead Redemption 2, but there's also Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, SoulCalibur VI, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey coming out. It's time to trade in your other kidney, because you're going to need the cash.

RIP.
Assassin Creed Odyssey, Forza Horizon 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 for me
Assassins Creed Odyssey, Forza Horizon 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 for me...
@BAMozzy lol really?
Red Dead 2, that's it
Dear PlayStation,
I’ve given you the best years of my life and you just keep wanting more and more. You’re sucking every ounce of my time. I could be solving world hunger, fixing the energy crisis, or curing cancer and you make me spend every waking minute with you.
And yet, I can’t stop loving you.
@porhawj2016 - really - I have all of those pre-ordered! Gold Edition AC, Ultimate edition RDR2 and just the standard edition FH4 which has been dispatched...
RDR2... maybe resonance of fate also
@BAMozzy Nice..i am not ps plus that need play online in RDR 2.. PS Plus waste of money because Sony give same games i already had for ps plus on free games per month
Mark of the ninja remastered, October 9th.
This one is missing and seems like quite a good game!
I’ll grab that and Red Dead even though it will take me years to finish it. But seeing GTA5 it won’t drop much in price.
Interested by Odyssey, would like to encourage Ubi Qc City, but I’m far from done with Origin so I’ll grab it cheaper later!
Soul Calibur 6 if the review says the single player is very good.
I'm having trouble getting hyped for RDR2. I couldn't get very far into the first one because I just got bored. I was having the same problem with Spiderman until I played it though so maybe RDR2 will be the same.
@KorsaRaph Heeeey, Mark of the Ninja! I'm getting that one too. That along with the Luigi's Mansion remake will be my Halloween games.
@Giygas_95
@get2sammyb
Yeah, Mark of the Ninja... I was sad it was missing my Klei collection, now it shall be mine! It should be added to the list!
I hope that Hot Lava game will see a console release at some point!
rip wallet ;_;
Spider-man dlc
rdr2
castlevania requiem
the multiplats I'll get on PC
How the Nintendo fanboys say, once a port comes out or an indie title: "Rest in peace my wallet." Don't take it seriously, just kidding.
I'm gonna take Soulcalibur, Red Dead, Mega Man 11, Senran Kagura, Castlevania, The Heist and... Oh, it's actually true: Rest in peace my wallet. :/
Megaman 11, Red Dead 2 and the Winner of the month Senran Kagura
Gonna try the FotNS demo again and the SCVI beta too before deciding. Other than that, don't think there's anything for me this month except for maybe RDR2.
So many games, the priorities for me are RDR 2 and the dlc of Spider-Man.
I also want Fist of the North Star, AC, Mega Man, Castlevania, Astro Bot and Call of Cthulhu, but I don’t know when.
We all cried wolf with previous years calling October "broketober" so the gaming gods decided decided to give us the true broketober. RDR2, soul Caliber 6, fists of the north, odyssey, cod blops 4, spiderman dlc, astro bot........😶
Assassin C and RDR2 for me.....next year lol
DQ11, Persona 5, F1 2018 and a rerun of the Mass Effect series will keep me busy until then.
The wallet needs a rest lol
Fist of the North star, mega Man 11, and soul caliber 6 for me. I'm betting red dead will come to pc eventually.
Already got spider-man dlc (I bought the digital deluxe edition), already preordered castlevania collection (please let the port be good, I shouldn't have preordered it first), and maybe red dead 2. I want to buy megaman 11 and fist of the north star but I want to finish all my big games first (spider-man, castlevania ps4, horizon, gow platinum).
Just Dance 2019. For my girls
Astro Bot, Lego DC - I'll say to my wife it's for the girls, but I'm the one who's really going to play it.
@get2sammyb Don’t know if you can say, but when does the embargo lift for Astro Bot?
AC Odissey, Spider-Man DLC, RDR2... My biggest worry is that I won't be able to finish Odissey before RDR2 comes out... I can wait until later to play S-M DLC, but there's no way I'm gonna keep playing Odissey when I have RDR2 available as an option...
And once I start playing that, I won't play anything else until I'm done with it
I've never been able to bounce between games... I hate leaving them unfinished or jumping back in halfway through and having to relearn it and remember what the hell I was doing when I left it...
I pre-ordered the AC:Odyssey Collector's Edition and RDR2 Ultimate Edition.
Then I will play FH4 Pirated Edition on my high-end PC.
Who need xbox, lol
Call of Cthulhu. It's been a long time since I last played what I consider to be a "proper" Cthulhu-based game, and this is just the thing I've been wishing for.
Stranded Deep ! This is exactly the kind of survival game I'm interested in playing. I'm so glad they're bringing it to the PS4.
Fortunately I get my salary in-between these two games, so I'm set on getting both.
I've become increasingly charmed by Red Dead 2. I wasn't at first but the uniqueness of it has sort of become an obsession in my mind, ... not sure I will buy it at launch though.
Post-edit: I have actually just pre-ordered Call of Cthulhu, I found a great offer in a local store.
Simply Red. Red Dead Redemption 2 that is not the 80's/90's band from Manchester.
Poor fist of the north star looks destined to be overlooked. Those types of game should really be coming out in the spring. Astrobot will find its audience. Vr had a similar fanbase to vita in that the attach rate is very high... that said i still haven't managed to pick up moss yet.
Rdr and ac will obviously hoover up the market share this month. I haven't been able to get excited for odyssey yet, although thats largely because i only finished origins about a month ago. RDR will take the rest of my year in any event once i finish spiderman
Mark of the ninja is coming out on PS4? That's an awesome game. Had it on Xbox 360 but would happily double-dip for a PS4 version.
Just a little game called RDR2 taking over my PS4 for the next few months (years?) Days Gone will be its best pal soon.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is the big one for me, though I'm in no hurry to buy it since I only started playing GTA 5 last week. Mega Man 11 should be great as well, but I'd like to finish of 8 9 & 10 on Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 first. Fist of the North Star isn't a Day 1 purchase for me, but I did enjoy the demo, so maybe I'll get it eventually.
Red Dead Redemption 2, Fist of the North Star, and oddly enough, Yakuza Kiwami 2. Yeah I know that's not on the list, but that's literally what I'm going to be playing in October.
Some runner ups if I have the extra cash are Mega Man 11, CV Requiem, and Mark of the Ninja.
@Giygas_95
As I understand it RDR2 is setting a new bar in open world ganes as in a world you live in. If your not interested in spending a long time just 'living' in that world you might as well move on to more action like games
@porhawj2016 I am getting AC and RDR2 for Xbox (as well as Forza Horizon). I know RDR2 will get some content early or even exclusively on PS but that's online content and I was not a fan of RDR online.
As for PS+ or Gold, I don't buy these for the free games and would probably not bother if that was the only benefit to these subscriptions. If I had to pick just 1, Gold would be the easy choice as you do get 4 games every month - even if 2 are 'old' BC 360 games. I buy these though because I want full access to my games - whether I play ALL online or not. I see the free games as 'bonuses' and over the course of a year, I generally add more in RRP value games to my collection than I spend on PS+ and Gold. I rarely play these games though as I still have a lot of games I bought, therefore wanted, that I would rather play.
Octobers free games on PS+ and Gold certainly don't appeal more than Destiny Forsaken, Spider-Man, Tomb Raider, Forza Horizon 4, Assassins Creed Odyssey and RDR2 - all games I have or have coming and all games that I want to play a LOT more - let alone any games I have in my back catalogue I am yet to finish.
@JJ2 Yeah, that sounds like maybe it's not for me. With so little time nowadays I prefer more quick and action oriented games. Thanks for letting me know.
Even though there's a whole bunch of games that interest me this month, I'm setting myself a limit of no other game purchases until Red Dead is out.
I got FIFA 19 yesterday, still have to finish Spider-Man, God of War, my RDR 1 playthrough, not to mention countless others. I'm also extremely tempted to start Life is Strange 2 but keep telling myself to be patient.
I will dive into Forza Horizon 4 (through Game Pass), and I reeeeaaaally hope that I don't get too addicted to that otherwise I'm screwed.
Astro bot, I was going to get rdr2 But it is too big. I live in Surry Virginia and a hamster in a wheel drives our Internet! Just can’t download that much data. Maybe someday in the future.
Paw patrol for me. Hope it don't gets delay I'll be inspecting the site for the hope it goes gold.
Fist of the North Star, Mario Party, Soul Calibur 6 and Red Dead 2 highlight my month.
I'll get Mega Man 11 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey down the road.
I might also get the Switch version of StarLink, but it's kind of a big if at the moment.
@BAMozzy yeah. RDR 2 ultimate edition, AC Odyssey are for ps4 version and Forza Horizon 4 on my xbox one S. i didn't upgrade to Xbox one X because i heard Xbox one X has some problems like can't turn it on properly that could be defective. i prefer PS4 on third party games beside exclusive games for trophies that i can getting sony reward points by collect trophies on games. for xbox one, i buy only exclusive games depend on games.. Microsoft need make better games for xbox one/PC exclusive games
Red Dead 2 & Call of Cthulhu.
Huh, I forgot that there are some games I actually wanna play besides RDR2 and the Spider-Man DLC. MegaMan 11 and Astro Bot deserve love too. Everything else is meh.
Evasion October 9
Megaman, Soul Calibur and Castlevania for me...
October = Red Dead Resumption
Haven't bought a new release this year ( sorry Devs ) but RdR2 will change that . I have a HUGE backlog , to put things into perspective I've just finished Bioshock which I bought in I think 2008. Just started HZD which I bought last Christmas.
Teenagers and singles you are lucky lucky bar stewards, enjoy your gaming times but it's best to be a year or two or even decades behind as everything is so cheap then !
Fist of the North star , assassins creed, red dead 2 and Call of Cthulhu for me.
Disgaea, Resonance of Fate and RDR 2 obviously... Although I think when RDR2 comes around, I'll drop everything I'm playing lol.
I wasn't even sure I was gonna get it on release but those 200 different animals is what convinced me 😂
@Giygas_95 In the first Red Dead game you didn't have to grind for anything, you could if you wanted to of-course. However, I never really did that, I just did the side- and main-missions.
I think RD2 will be the same as GTA V in that you can grind a much as you want, they give you that option, but if you just want the fun parts (story + action) you can do that as well.
I promised myself i wouldn't be buying another game until next year because of backlog and current games etc but looking at that list..man it's going to be so hard to restrain myself..
Just red dead 2 but I really fancy ac:odessey at some stage (like next year or something)! So many great games, so little bloody time 🤔
@General_Spiller never played the mass effect series before, is the first one still decent enough to play? I've played some older games in the last year or two (first uncharted and bioshock) and graphics are not as important as mechanics/story for me.
@R1spam The story in the first Mass Effect holds up well. It hasn't aged well in terms of graphics or combat. That said I still highly recommend the series.
@R1spam I'll echo what Splat says, it hasn't aged well in some repects but if you can look past some of the 'dated' aspects of the game, the universe, characters and story are amazing. One of my favourite franchises in gaming.
If you have a PS3, definitely worth picking up. I bought the trilogy on sale for about 5 pounds. You're looking at potentially hundreds of hours of entertainment.
Have a look at a few let's play or walkthrough videos on YouTube. It's what i do when i'm wondering if a game is worth it
@General_Spiller @Splat cheers for the replies, I had a quick look at someone called SkadiLP on YouTube. I normally avoid let's plays in case of spoilers but I thought I would give it a try. I think I'll give it a go after red dead/red dead 2. I loved Babylon 5 and deep space 9 back in the day so really interested in this.
Poor wallet !! That's not fair !!
Astrobot is THE day one game of this year, for me. Like in : I buy it day one, sure, but I also PLAY IT day one (not like all of my others games which are going on the top of my backlog everytime).
I admit it : yes, I'll buy Senran Kagura too. And I'm expecting a Ps4 remaster of Shinovi Versus in order to get the full collection on the big screen.
And maybe Soul Calibur. Cause, you know, Ivy. Rofl.
I definitely plan on pre-ordering Red Dead Redemption 2 if I can afford to, otherwise I'll wait for Black Friday/Holiday 2019 sales like I plan to with the other October 2018 games I'm interested in.
As for Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist, already got the Season Pass so don't have to pay for that, and Starlink: Battle for Atlas I plan to buy the Switch version of because Starfox.

@PS_Nation WTF probem with @DMG361132.. screw this person. god damn it.. he need get out of here
@porhawj2016 Hi, what happened?
@PS_Nation did you read what he said to me on above when he replied to me ? You sound a bit spoiled. Plus is great and the discounts on games make it worth keeping. I've seen you enough on Dualshockers so I don't need to read more of your nonsense here. Ignored. this guy alway talk bad and whine of people
@porhawj2016 @DMG361132 Ok guys cool your jets. I don't know what problems you have with each other and what happened on other sites but insulting one another is not welcomed here if you can't get along there is the ignore button and otherwise I can give you guys a temporary vactaion till you both cool down.
@DMG361132 That was totally uncalled for that comment there was no reason for it. Next time you talk to another user like that you will be taking a vacation from the site. Thanks for understanding .
Now let's get this thread back on track.
