Gamescom: E3: Top New Games Out This Week On Switch, PS4, Xbox One, And PC - October 15
Every Sunday, GameSpot takes a look at a handful of the hottest games launching that week. In the fantasy realm, you can get your hands on South Park: The Fractured But Whole and Fire Emblem Warriors. If you prefer something more grounded, you can race your way through Gran Turismo Sport, throw down with WWE 2K18, or hatch a world-conquering plan with Age of Empires: Definitive Edition.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole -- October 17
The Stick of Truth sequel is all about superheroes. As the New Kid, you'll choose from 12 powers and align yourself with Cartman's Coon & Friends or the Freedom Pals. Expect the same level of craziness and irreverent humor as the Comedy Central series.

WWE 2K18 brings some new moves to the ring this year, including 8-person Royal Rumbles and carry moves. But perhaps the craziest addition is the KFC mascot, Colonel Sanders himself, as a playable character. Look for the Nintendo Switch version later this fall.
