Black samurai, scary monsters and stoners – the biggest games for autumn 2024

Get your controllers at the ready as Assassin’s Creed visits feudal Japan, Indiana Jones goes to the Himalayas, a slacker gets off the couch and Zelda stars in a Zelda game for once

A deliriously joyful platformer which pays tribute to 30 years of PlayStation history via adorable, tiny robots riding a controller-shaped spaceship between delightful planet-sized levels. It looks cute but it is deceptively cutting-edge – developer Team Asobi really knows that PS5 inside-out. Think Sony’s answer to Mario Galaxy.
