This Week In Games Australia: FC 24, Cyberpunk 2077, And Several Thousand Indies

Welcome back to This Week In Games Australia, your quick look at all the games you’ll be playing this week.

Bit on this week. EA Sports FC 24 and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty lead the week’s biggest releases. FC 24 heralds a new era for one of longest-running franchises in the history of the video gaming medium (now sans the FIFA name). Phantom Liberty marks the phoenix-like resurrection of a historic bomb, the moment so many players have been waiting for — the moment Cyberpunk 2077 definitively became a Good Game.

Meanwhile, the indies are going absolutely crazy. There’s so much good indie gear arriving this week, including El Paso Elsewhere, Astronimo, Mineki’s Night Market, My Time At Sandrock, Fortune’s Run, and much more.

As always, if you’d like a little preview of this piece on Friday each week, check out the Kotaku Australia Podcast, in which Emily and I discuss the games we’ve been playing and the ones launching in the week ahead that excite us most. You can find us on your favourite podcast app of choice every single week.
