Every Video Game Release Date for October 2020

Things are really starting to heat up in the world of gaming. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles are just a few weeks away. With both next-gen systems due to launch in November, October could have been disappointing. After all, many developers will now be focusing their efforts on producing games for the new consoles.

But that doesn’t mean that there are not plenty of great titles to choose from in October. In fact, the month is actually one of the better periods for game releases in recent times. High-profile games like FIFA 21, Crash Bandicoot 4, and Pikmin 3 Deluxe are all set to arrive. There’s also a great selection of indie titles and lesser-known games. Whatever type of experience you like, you are sure to find something enjoyable this October.

Hazmat Hijinks: Total Meltdown

Release Date: October 1

Platforms: PC

Although it might not look all that impressive, Hazmat Hijinks: Total Meltdown is a content-filled puzzle game. Players take on the role of a worker navigating a hazardous environment. The experience is also clearly inspired by the classic Chip’s Challenge from the Atari era. In total, there are 100 levels to beat and the developers estimate it will take at least 20 hours to complete.

Little Big Workshop

Release Date: October 1

Platforms: Nintendo Switch

Little Big Workshop is a factory sim that allows the player to build their own manufacturing empire. With cute graphics and a simplified menu system, the game is coming to consoles for the first time. A seemingly more chilled out sim compared to the more hardcore examples, players can build toys, gadgets, and even vehicles.
