3. Silent Hill f – September 25
Konami left the video game industry for a while, but have been re-introducing audiences to their classic franchises, like Castlevania, Contra, Metal Gear, and Silent Hill. Silent Hill f is the first brand new Silent Hill game since this Konami renaissance began. There were some bad Western developed games, two demos for games that never came out, one awful webseries, and one excellent Silent Hill 2 Remake in the meantime. But Silent Hill f feels like the successor to Silent Hill 4. And a genuine J Horror experience. Silent Hill f could have easily been #1 any other month, but the Top 5 Video Games Arriving in September 2025 are incredibly loaded. It will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
2. Borderlands 4 – September 12
Borderlands is back! Gearbox took some time away from the main series to create the Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands spin-off, so it’s been six years since we’ve had a proper Borderlands game. This first-person looter shooter is available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC September 12. A Switch 2 port is arriving a few weeks later on October 3. The first new Borderlands game in a long time is a cause for celebration. It would have been #1 on the Top 5 Video Games Arriving in September 2025, but a major game finally got a release date at the last second very recently…
1. Hollow Knight: Silksong – September 5
The #1 game on the Top 5 Video Games Arriving in September 2025 is Hollow Knight: Silksong. It’s a sequel to one of the most beloved Metroidvanias of all-time, Hollow Knight. Silksong was announced as DLC in 2019, but the project grew so huge that it became its own game. I once heard Hollow Knight: Silksong described as “the GTA VI of indie games”. And that’s kind of true, as several titles slated for September have changed their release dates to avoid its sales. This massive indie release will be available for all consoles and PC.
