It's a big month for PC gaming, with two substantial new RPGs, Metaphor: ReFantazio and Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a Diablo 4 expansion, a new MechWarrior campaign, the usual fall Call of Duty release, and a few exciting wildcards. I'm particularly looking forward to No More Room in Hell 2, a co-op zombie shooter from the makers of medieval warfare series Chivalry.
See what's out in October below, as well as some of the big gaming events to look out for. For a more zoomed-out view of what's coming out on PC this year, check out our big list of 2024's upcoming PC games.
