Who said that August was a quiet month in the world of video games? Nothing is further from reality. Following the trend of this overwhelming 2023, the next few weeks are going to be well loaded with relevant launches.
We will start with Baldur's Gate 3, the long-awaited continuation of one of the most remembered role-playing sagas; We will continue with two long-awaited Spanish indies like The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood and Blasphemous 2; and we will end the month exhausted with the massive destruction party proposed by FromSoftware and its Armored Core 6; and that if we only stay with a few.
Next, we select some of the most interesting titles for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch that will arrive throughout the month of August.

From Benimaclet (Valencia), comes The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, the new game from the indie studio Deconstructeam. The creators of The Red Strings Club, Gods Will Be Watching and the most recent Essays on Empathy are back with another very personal project that they have been working on for years. Tarot cards, and the ability for players to create their own deck with personalized cards, are one of the keys to a narrative game that, as its own creators have revealed, explores themes related to identity, community sentiment and personal responsibilities.
