Due to digital distribution, there are more video games releasing now than ever before. In fact, it can be difficult to keep up with all of the new releases even if you read about video games on a daily basis. Thankfully, in order to help readers informed about what games are coming out and to highlight games that look like they're going to be special, I've put together a list of August's most promising video game releases.

The King of Fighters XIV – August 23

Recommended Videos

The King of Fighters XIV

While The King of Fighters isn’t thought of as the king of fighting games anymore, its return is definitely a welcomed one. SNK Playmore’s fourteenth installment in the series will feature a huge roster of 50 characters, with many returning from past games. After the disappointment of Street Fighter V, it’s exciting to think about receiving such a full-featured fighting title, and this one certainly looks set to deliver.

Verdun – August 30

Verdun

Just a few short years ago, World War II shooters were all the rage in gaming. Now, first-person shooters are mostly set in the future, with jetpacks and mechs becoming the norm. That’s why Verdun really stands out. This WWI FPS releases on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later this month and has a unique focus on trench warfare. So, if you’re feeling tired of what the genre has offered as of late, this throwback might be just the thing to fix it.

While August is historically one of the slowest months in the year for gaming releases, you can see that there are still plenty of worthwhile new releases in the 2016 lineup. From inventive new indie games to new sequels in beloved franchises, there truly seems to be something for everyone.
