Welcome back to This Week In Games Australia, your look at all the games you’ll be playing in the next seven days.
This week, the air raid sirens are blaring. The shadow of the year’s biggest game, Starfield, looms over the calendar — and it isn’t even fully available until next week. Its early access period — available only to those who sprang for the expensive Premium or Constellation Editions — begins on Friday, September 1st. It says a lot about how big of a hit Starfield is expected to be that even the commercial threat posed by the pricey special editions is enough to thin out the week’s releases.
That said, there is still some great stuff on the way. The Making of Kareteka, an interactive history of the karate game by the creator of Prince of Persia launches this week, as does the SNES RPG throwback Sea of Stars. The long-awaited Goodbye Volcano High finally makes its bow on PlayStation and PC, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk comes to consoles, and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope gets its final, Rayman-driven DLC pack.
