Buckle up, five of the most wishlisted games on Steam are all coming out this month

On October 3, Kingmakers announced a delay to an unspecified future date. Last month, Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced for imminent launch, prompting several smaller titles to delay their releases. Five games are currently at the top of Steam's most-wishlisted chart for October, a month historically significant for game releases. Among the anticipated releases are Avowed, Battlefield 6, The Outer Worlds 2, and Little Nightmares 3. ARC Raiders is noted as an extraction shooter of interest, while Kingmakers is described as a co-op shooter reminiscent of Dynasty Warriors and PUBG. Bloodlines 2 has faced a tumultuous development journey with tempered expectations.

Concord game director reportedly steps down as Firewalk developers fear layoffs or a possible closure

Ryan Ellis, the game director of Firewalk Studios' title Concord, has stepped down from his leadership role and will transition to a support position within the studio. This announcement followed the game's disappointing launch, which saw a peak of only 697 concurrent players on Steam. Concord has faced criticism for its price and was described in reviews as "underbaked, overpriced, and dated." There is speculation about the game potentially returning as a free-to-play title, but staff morale is low, and some team members are being encouraged to pitch new projects. Firewalk Studios is at risk of layoffs or closure, especially in light of recent layoffs at Sony-owned Bungie.
