#6. Wreckfest

Release Date: 27 August 2019

Available On: PS4, Xbox One

Wreckfest was released on PC in July but will be finally hitting consoles by the end of August. Wreckfest is a racing game but not only do you race, drift and all the other usual shenanigans but you have to actively destroy and damage your opponent's cars.

#5. Astral Chain

Release Date: 30 August 2019

Available On: Switch

Astral Chain will only be available on the Switch, but it has also been one of the most anticipated titles for the console. The designers of Bayonetta and Devil May Cry helped to develop the graphics of the game and it retains that unique Japanese animation style.

Astral Chain is a typical story where humans have to defend against alien invasions but the gameplay mechanics is what really sells the game. You can capture and defeat your enemies in some very creative ways with the futuristic technology available.
