Top 100 Games Trends in September

From Latin Celebrity Game Characters to FPS Training Tournaments

— September 28, 2024 — Autos
This list of September 2024 game trends highlights exciting collaborations and immersive experiences in the gaming world. From pop sensations to luxury car brands, the gaming industry continues to blend entertainment and innovation, offering players unique and engaging content.

Karol G, the award-winning pop sensation, is bringing her Latin rhythms to Fortnite’s Festival Season 5. Players can unlock exclusive Karol G Instruments and a custom Karol G Outfit through the Festival Pass’ Premium Reward Track. The event also features a groundbreaking playable concert experience, blending Karol G’s iconic songs with Fortnite’s vibrant gameplay. Season 5 kicks off on August 16 with update v31.00, and the Karol G bundle is available in the Fortnite Item Shop.

At Gamescom 2024, Porsche and Blizzard Entertainment created a unique experience by integrating Overwatch 2 with Porsche’s brand. The exhibition stand in Hall 9.1 immersed visitors in Busan, home of Overwatch 2’s D.Va, featuring interactive elements like a karaoke area and a gaming zone. Porsche-inspired skins for D.Va and Pharah were available, and cosplayers brought these characters to life, enhancing the immersive experience for attendees.

These trends showcase the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the gaming industry, where collaborations and innovative experiences continue to captivate and engage players worldwide.
