There Are 3 New Local Co-Op Games You Need to Play This Month

In today’s gaming landscape, where online multiplayer and cooperative games are highly sought after, it’s always thrilling when a fresh local co-op game enters the market. Fortunately, September 2025 is blessed with more local co-op releases than average, boasting at least three new titles gracing our screens this month. Among them is the much-awaited Borderlands 4. While Borderlands 4 might be the main event for September’s local co-op games, it certainly isn’t the only one.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but get excited about Borderlands 4! Just like its predecessors, this game offers a thrilling blend of 2-player split-screen and 4-player online co-op action throughout the entire adventure. The new setting, Kairos, promises a fresh world to explore, complete with all sorts of exciting new features and enhancements over the previous games.

At its core, Borderlands 4 stays true to the franchise’s roots, allowing players to pick from four unique Vault Hunters, collect an incredible arsenal of guns, and blast their way through waves upon waves of enemies while completing countless quests. With most versions of the game, you can team up with a friend for split-screen co-op fun, but unfortunately, the Switch 2 version won’t include this feature – so keep that in mind when making your purchasing decision!

In September, fans of local co-op gaming will find value and more in the release of Borderlands 4, but they won’t be alone. LEGO Voyagers, a game focusing on local co-op, is set to launch shortly after Borderlands 4 on various platforms including PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X/S. Unlike many games, LEGO Voyagers features cooperative play where players control a single LEGO brick and collaborate with each other to solve puzzles. This charming game, designed with co-op in mind, promises an enjoyable experience.

Local Co-Op Games for September 2025

  • Borderlands 4 – September 12
  • LEGO Voyagers – September 15
  • Nicktoons & the Dice of Destiny – September 30

After fans of local cooperative gaming finish enjoying titles like Borderlands 4 and LEGO Voyagers, they might be interested in diving into Nicktoons & the Dice of Destiny, set to release on September 30 for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X/S. This upcoming game is an action-RPG featuring beloved characters from Nicktoons. Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that Nicktoons & the Dice of Destiny offers 4-player local cooperative play, making it a particularly enticing option for enthusiasts of local co-op gaming.

In September 2025, several games are set to launch that allow for local multiplayer, although not all of them are strictly co-operative. For instance, the game Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, scheduled for release on September 25, offers a four-player split-screen mode in Grand Prix, Race Park, and Time Attack. On the other hand, LEGO Party, launching on September 30, provides Mario Party-style action with a LEGO twist. Additionally, popular sports games like NBA 2K26, NHL 26, and EA Sports FC 26 will all include local multiplayer options when they are released on September 5, September 12, and September 26, respectively.
