"Uncharted: The Lost Legacy"
What it is: "Uncharted," the third-person action series featuring Nathan Drake as he traipsed around the world, as we know it is over. With "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End," the series was officially sunset — until "Uncharted: The Lost Legacy," that is. The new game extends the series by following Chloe Frazer as the main character. If you liked the high-octane, Indiana Jones-esque gameplay of previous "Uncharted" games, "The Lost Legacy" is more of that with a new set of characters in a new environment.

"Cuphead"
What it is: "Cuphead" is a gorgeously hand-drawn, relentlessly difficult platform-action game. Remember "Contra"? Or "Rush'n Attack"? "Cuphead" is reminiscent of those classic games, albeit drawn in an art style that's more reminiscent of "Steamboat Willie" than any video game out today.

"Assassin's Creed Origins"
What it is: In "Assassin's Creed Origins" you'll explore one of history's most fascinating periods: Ptolemaic Egypt. That's the era when Egypt's millennia-spanning empire began to fall, while Rome — led by Julius Caesar — conquered more and more of Western civilization. It's also, according to "Assassin's Creed Origins," the period when the "Assassin's Brotherhood" was conceived. That alternative history is what you'll play when the game arrives this October — the standard third-person action-adventure formula is returning.
