New Android and iOS Games Coming in September 2026

September 2026's mobile calendar includes new releases, major ports, and free-to-play launches across Android and iOS. The strongest confirmed dates include Pixel Gun 2 on September 7, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris on September 8, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed on September 16, Dave the Diver on September 17, Aniimo on September 23, and Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis on September 24.

Release dates can change, and store rollouts may vary by country or device. Check the live Google Play or App Store page before purchasing, pre-ordering, or clearing storage. The list below records the announced or store-scheduled dates available at the time of review.

September 2026 mobile game release calendar

The original calendar incorrectly converted two September 8 entries to “August 9” and listed Aniimo's mobile release on September 16. Aniimo's official schedule now separates PC/console on September 16 from mobile on September 23.

Seven mobile releases worth watching

1. Pixel Gun 2

Release date: September 7, 2026
Platforms: Android and iOS

Pixel Gun 2 follows Pixel Gun 3D with short multiplayer FPS matches, destructible voxel arenas, and flexible builds based on weapons, armor, perks, and skills. The environment can change during a fight, so map destruction is part of positioning rather than a visual extra.

The developer is rolling the mobile version out in waves, which means the store may show it earlier or later in some regions on launch day. Check whether account progress syncs with the platform you plan to use before investing in a long-term profile.

2. Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris

Release date: September 8, 2026
Platforms: Android and iOS

This isometric action adventure combines twin-stick combat, platforming, traps, and environmental puzzles inside an Egyptian setting. It supports solo play and co-op, with mobile controls redesigned for touch and support for compatible physical controllers.

The mobile edition uses a try-before-you-buy model: the first level can be played before a one-time full-game unlock. Device requirements are relatively modern, so read the store compatibility list and storage requirement before downloading.

3. Transformers: Eternal War

Release date: September 15, 2026
Platforms: Android and iOS

Transformers: Eternal War is a free-to-play tactical squad RPG built around collecting and upgrading Autobots and Decepticons. Its story brings the two factions together against the Chaos Legion, with an original narrative credited to longtime Transformers writer Simon Furman.

Players who dislike idle progression or character-collection economies should wait for launch reviews and examine the monetization before committing. Pre-registration rewards are useful only if the underlying progression system fits your play style.

4. Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

Release date: September 16, 2026
Platforms: Android and iOS

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed brings the 3D platformer remake to phones and tablets. Mickey uses paint to restore parts of the Wasteland and thinner to remove them, giving exploration and puzzles more interaction than a conventional jump-and-collect platformer.

The mobile release is a premium game rather than an open-ended free-to-play title. Check controller support, device compatibility, and regional price on the store page; the United States launch price was announced at $15.99, but other regions use local pricing.

5. Dave the Diver

Release date: September 17, 2026
Platforms: Android and iOS

Dave the Diver alternates between daytime diving in the Blue Hole and nighttime restaurant management. Exploration, fishing, equipment upgrades, staff management, and story missions feed into one another, making it suitable for players who want both action and a management loop.

The mobile edition is free to download with a trial, followed by a one-time full-game unlock. Touch controls can be resized and repositioned, and the launch plan includes the free DREDGE content plus a separately sold In the Jungle expansion. Licensed collaboration content available on other platforms may not be included.

6. Aniimo

Mobile release date: September 23, 2026
Platforms: Android and iOS

Aniimo is a free-to-play open-world creature-collecting action RPG set on the continent of Idyll. Creatures can appear or change with environment, weather, and time, while the “Twine” system lets players connect with them and use different abilities.

The September 16 date applies to PC and consoles. The official mobile announcement moved Android and iOS to September 23, so older store roundups that give one date for every platform are no longer accurate.

7. Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis TD

Release date: September 24, 2026
Platforms: Android and iOS; PC also planned

Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis returns the tower-defense series to an earlier period in its story. Players build and upgrade towers, deploy heroes, manage limited resources, and adapt to waves with different resistances and routes.

It is the clearest choice in this group for players who want a traditional premium-style strategy game rather than an action port or collection RPG. Mobile pre-orders are open, while the PC demo provides a way to inspect its new systems before launch.

How to choose before downloading

Check these details on the store page

• Device and OS support: a listing may be visible even when an older phone cannot install it.
• Download and additional data size: many games download more files after the initial install.
• Pricing model: distinguish a free trial, a one-time unlock, and a free-to-play game with in-app purchases.
• Controller support: important for twin-stick shooters and console ports.
• Online requirements: check whether single-player modes work offline.
• Regional availability: global launch times and phased rollouts can make the date differ by timezone or country.

Wish-list or pre-register for the games that fit your device, then recheck the listing on release day. A confirmed date does not guarantee that every model, region, or language receives the game at the same hour.
