A big release week awaits us, in which both soccer fans can cheer and role-playing connoisseurs.
We’re really leaving the summer behind us and sliding into the traditionally packed fall of games. Already last week there were some exciting new titles to discover with games like Lies of P or Payday 3 . This week we continue with the official release of EA Sports FC 24 and one of the best DLCs of the whole year.

The highlights of the week
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
(Genre: Role-playing game – Developer: CD Projekt Red – Release: Sep 26, 2023)
We usually give rather less consideration to pure DLCs in this week’s releases. But a major work like Phantom Liberty we simply must give space! The extensive expansion for the main game released almost three years ago is among the best we have ever seen from a DLC.
EA Sports FC 24
(Genre: Sports simulation – Developer: EA Sports – Release: September 29, 2023)
Normally, we would have said: new year, new FIFA! But unfortunately that’s not true this time. Because there is no FIFA anymore. At least in theory. In practice, the renamed EA Sports FC 24 is just that: a new FIFA that builds on its predecessors. In the test, it became clear that EA has packed a few sensible innovations into their soccer game. But there have also been more innovative vintages.
