New Releases: September 11-17, 2025

This week, Type-NOISE: Shonen Shojo (pictured) arrives on PC, following a demo that had players taking the role of a deceitful content creator. The title is joined by some heavy-hitters, including Borderlands 4, NHL 26, and LEGO Voyagers. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of quirk, between the pugilism of Baki Hanma: Blood Arena, the retro action of ZOE Begone!, and the transmorphic qualities of Henry Halfhead. Here’s the full list of games launching across PC and consoles for the week of September 11th through September 17^th:

Rob’s pick: ZOE Begone! has many of the ingredients I like in a retro-style arcade game. It uses geometric visuals, there’s shooting, and with its metaphor for cinematic conflict that springs to life, is needlessly smart. It also has several different systems and I’m still uncertain if they’re fighting against each other. It might be ‘meta’ or just me overthinking things. Give me a few more days to figure it out.

Parasol Superstars is a release that contains both Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III as well as Spica Adventure, the umbrella-swinging sort-of spin off. Originally released as a mobile game in 2003, it made its way to arcades two years later. But this is the first time the game has officially come stateside, so I’m pretty curious.

Matt S’ pick (editor, DigitallyDownloaded): This is a bit of calm before the storm (seriously, just look at what’s coming soon). I think I’ll give NHL 26 a whirl though. Yes, it’ll have all the annoying qualities of all EA sports games, but I am a fan of the sport of ice hockey and it has been a few years since I last played an NHL game, so I may well be pleasantly surprised by the cumulation of several years of iterations.

Otherwise, am I crazy for hoping that Baki Hanma: Blood Arena is a good time? It looks like Punch-Out!!, and Punch-Out!! was fun, right? It can’t be THAT hard to screw up a Punch-Out!!, clone, surely? I guess I’ll find out soon enough.

Ryan’s pick: Borderlands has always been a coop thing I’ve done with my brother so we both made a pact to play Borderlands 4 together. The subject matter is usually pretty light and allows us to casually talk and laugh at the content together, so I’m looking forward to all the crass humor and grinding. Part of me wants to maybe hold off as they typically release a lot of bundles and DLC for this series, but with little to no coop games lately for me the temptation is high to pick this one up.

I too think that Baki Hanma: Blood Arena looks great. I’ve been a fan of the series and the 2D art does a good job of capturing how brutal the fights Baki gets into can be. There’s plenty of THE popular characters in the game, so for fans of the series I can see the game as a good one for the collection as some of their signature moves from the series are also in it. Overall, the story and characters are pretty over the top so I can see this being a good one to slowly whittle away at as you get used to enemy telegraphing and attacks. For me that was the allure in the Punch-Out!! series and I can see some parallels with that here.
