October is halfway through and the releases are not slowing down. This week sees quite a few key titles launching into stores. There are a pair of “remakes” coming out, bringing a couple of great titles from the last console generation forward to the current one. PlayStation fans are getting the LEGO Harry Potter Collection on the PS4, combining both of the PS3 LEGO Harry Potter releases into a single game, covering all of the various years at Hogwarts.

The Arkham games are making a comeback on both the Xbox One and PS4 with Batman: Return to Arkham. The game was due out earlier this year but saw a delay due to it “not being up to the quality” that was expected. This package gives players fully remastered versions of both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Sadly, Arkham Origins didn’t make the transition for a truly complete package.

The biggest release this week brings the annual Battlefield release with DICE’s Battlefield 1. It’s a strange choice for the title, given the advancement of the franchise technically. The new game takes things back in time, to the first World War, abandoning the modern war setting of the past few releases. This is going to put a serious gap between Battlefield and Call of Duty this year, since that series is moving into the future and space with their next game.
