July was a belter, with Pikmin 4 dropping on the Switch, along with Disney Illusion Island - two rays of sunshine in a somewhat drizzly month (especially here in the UK).

They were lovely and lighthearted after the slightly dark releases of June, like Diablo 4 and Final Fantasy XVI.

So what will the releases of August be like? Will they be cartoony and zany, or epic, dark and heavy? We can confirm that there's a nice mix of both. Keep reading to find out what we have in store!

We'll also share all we know about the months after August... if the past half-year is anything to go by, they'll be here before we know it.
