The DeanBeat: The ridiculous schedule for triple-A games of the fall

Spider-Man debuts today on the Sony PlayStation 4, and that’s about as big a kickoff event you can get for the triple-A games of the fall. It reminds me that it’s time to map out my favorite upcoming games of the fall video game season and to properly allocate time for each. I want to play everything, and sadly, that’s going to result in a ridiculous schedule.

I’ll have to choose whether to play the beta of Battlefield V or go with Spider-Man. Then I’ll have seven days until the next Lara Croft adventure, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, debuts on September 14. I get some time with that until Life is Strange 2 Episode 1 comes out on September 21. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey debuts on October 5, and then Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 comes out seven days later on October 12.
