The Video Games You Should Play This Weekend – October 24, 2025

8 months ago 180

It's another Friday in October, which means there are probably one hundred new games to play released this week. Maybe my memory is betraying me but this feels like the wildest October in video game history, certainly this current generation at least. But you won't hear me complaining (much) about that because the wide variety of releases means there's almost certainly something for everyone. 

This week alone, we published reviews for Ninja Gaiden 4, PowerWash Simulator 2, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, and The Outer Worlds 2, and we even revealed the next game gracing the cover of Game InformerDragon Quest VII Reimagined, the playful and cozy sea-faring adventure that's a fan-favorite amongst players. We also covered all kinds of news, like the release date for Terrifier: The ARTcade Game (which is launching in November and not October for some reason), the Elden Ring Switch 2 edition getting delayed to 2026 (sadness), Marvel Cosmic Invasion's December release date, and a massive round-up of everything revealed in Masahiro Sakurai's hour-long Kirby Air Riders direct (it's so much information, y'all). 

And, as every Game Informer reader knows, that's just a lil dash of everything we published this week. Within our various other website sections, like video and features, there's plenty more to see and read, and we hope you do. As always, thank you for being a subscriber if you are one, and if you aren't, head here to join the growing ranks of the smartest and coolest and most fun audience in the world. Alrighty, roll the tape (or text or whatever):
