With the first half of 2017 now behind us, let’s look at some of the most anticipated online games of 2017 expected to launch this September. The upcoming month will witness the release of quite a lot of major titles which include Destiny 2, Fallout 4: Game Of The Year Edition, FIFA 18 and Divinity: Original Sin 2. So, if you are looking for a game to dwell on, then check out the list below.
Destiny 2
Destiny 2, a sequel to the 2014 title, follows a similar gameplay style of its predecessor which comes with experience-based character progression, first-person shooting, and quest-centered storyline.
However, Destiny had a few flaws including the faulty drop system and vague storyline. But with Destiny 2, Bungie has been working extremely hard to get these flaws sorted out. As a result, with what we have seen in the released trailers for the upcoming title, it seems that the developers have been quite successful in doing just that.
Destiny 2 is set to release on September 6 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However this time the game is also set to make its debut in the world of PC gaming. PC users will get to experience Destiny 2 a little later, though, as the PC version will be available on October 24.
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Larian Studios is back with the new installment of its Divinity franchise. Divinity: Original Sin 2, takes place years after the first Divinity, where conflict and religious oppression has plagued the world. Players (solo or in teams of four) will have to try to rid the world of the menace that threatens the Divinity universe.
Furthermore, Larian Studios is also adding a new feature called the Love & Hate system. This system will let players build relationships with other characters which can be either positive or negative, which will then affect the game’s storyline.
D:OS 2 is set to release for PC on September 14, while PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users will have to wait a little longer.

Moreover, since this is the Game of the Year Edition, Bethesda will include all six of the game’s DLC content which has made its way into the game over the course of two years. Consequently, Fallout 4: Game Of The Year Edition will include Nuka-World, Vault-Tec Workshop, Contraptions Workshop, Far Harbor, Wasteland Workshop and Automatron.
