Dragon Quest XI
For PS4 and PC from Sept 4. Nintendo Switch release TBA.
Marvel's Spider-Man
For PlayStation 4 from Sept 7
Taking place several years after the events of Spider-Man: Homecoming, and so featuring a superhero approaching the peak of his athletic powers while escaping current Cinematic Universe canon, this puts players up against a crew of better and lesser known villains in a New York City navigable through athletic parkour or wide web-slinging swings.
NBA Live 19
For PS4, XBO and PC from Sept 7
Create-a-player and career mode, street basketball with a squad-building aspect, a home and away court battle system, the NBA league, and the Ultimate Team mode common to EA's FIFA, NHL and NFL sports sims.
Nintendo Switch
This week's varied Switch calendar includes re-releases of highly rated fantasy adventure Hyper Light Drifter, pensive and personal domestic exploration Gone Home, tactical role-playing title God Wars: Future Past, and explosive screen-shaking action game Broforce. – AFP Relaxnews
