The long-running soccer management game returns on November 6th, available on the usual assortment of consoles and PC. The surprising part is that Football Manager 2024 Mobile will be exclusive to Netflix subscribers, after the series appeared on Apple Arcade last year. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to transfer your save on Netflix (a new feature for the series) — bad news for my long-running career dominating the K League.
The festival is led by Studio Ghibli’s The Boy and the Heron, but there will be plenty more to see when things kick off in Toronto on September 7th.
It’s already September, which means it’s time to start plotting out your Halloween viewing schedule. One to add to your list: When Evil Lurks, which looks terrifying in this new trailer. It’s coming to theaters on October 6th, starts streaming on Shudder on October 27th, and it may eventually become a TV show, too.
(We’ll be getting an early look at it at TIFF this week — stay tuned!)
Now that most of the big classics are already available for Switch Online subscribers, the updates are getting a little more eclectic. The most recent adds four titles, including a Kirby-themed puzzler, the Game Boy RPG Quest for Camelot, and the fighting game Joy Mech Fight, which hasn’t previously been available in North America.
If you haven’t already been digging into Starfield as part of the early access period, the game will launch for everyone on September 6th on both Xbox and PC (including Game Pass subscribers). For more on the sci-fi epic, be sure to check out our review and this stream with all of our latest coverage, including very important things like futuristic restaurants.
Another month, another batch of mobile games dropping for Apple Arcade subscribers. This time the spotlight title is Japanese Rural Life Adventure (September 15th), a life sim game that looks a bit like Stardew Valley, but with a focus on traditional Japanese festivals.
Also coming are My Talking Angela 2+ (September 8th), Junkworld (September 22nd), Cypher 007 (September 29th), and a big Halloween update for Hello Kitty Island Adventure (also the 29th). Check out all the details right here.
As you wander around the various planets and cities across the galaxy in the game, you’ll come across all kinds of extremely fun made-up businesses. My favorites have to do with food, like a fast food chain called Chunks where everything (even wine) comes in cube form and you can slather meals with “sauce.” I’m also just glad to know I’ll still be able to get a Tim Horton’s double double in the distant future.
