Ten New Roblox Games Are Coming This Fall: What We Know About the Update

Roblox spent most of its first 20 years as the place where kids built obbies, ran fake pizza shops, and jumped off the same tower in Natural Disaster Survival for the thousandth time. That's changing. Fast. On September 2, 2026, Roblox's Chief Creator Ecosystem Officer Vlad Loktev published the Roblox Fall Games Preview: ten new games for September and October, with six launching in September and four in October.

The timing wasn't an accident. Roblox launched on September 1, 2006, so the announcement landed a day after its 20th birthday. Most people celebrate with cake. Roblox went with a hero shooter, a dinosaur hunt, and a football league full of goats.

Here's the lineup, what each game actually is, and what players think so far.

The Schedule

Roblox gave release windows rather than exact dates, and Stealthy Gaming pointed out that the windows "are not exact launch dates or a guarantee that a game is available today." So check the game page before you promise your little brother anything.

1. Early September: Showdown (The Showdown Cup), Monster in the Mansion, GOAT Football League
2. Mid-September: Nemesis
3. Late September: Fossil Force, Caramel
4. October: Prime Heroes, Octane, Starforged, Scrapbook Saga

The One with a Marvel Designer Behind It

The game getting the most headlines is Monster in the Mansion, and that's mostly because of who made it. Anthony Francisco, CEO of Ubermonster Productions, worked as a character designer at Marvel Studios. ComicBook.com notes he created visuals for the Dora Milaje in Black Panther and designed Baby Groot. So the person who made a tiny tree adorable is now making you run away from monsters.

The game is a co-op survival horror for up to eight players. You're stuck in the mansion of Doctor Mondo, a doctor who has clearly made some choices, and your team has to survive, find an antidote and cure him. The monsters are randomized, so the one that caught you last round might not be the one waiting behind the door this time.
Francisco sounded surprised by the platform itself. "There is a speed in Roblox that I like," he said, adding, "I can see if something works visually or not. I didn't realize the tools got more robust and took things to a more realistic finish." Coming from someone who has worked on Marvel films, that's a real compliment for a platform many adults still think of as digital Lego.

Two Shooters, Very Different Ideas

Roblox clearly wants a piece of the competitive shooter crowd, and September brings two very different attempts.

Showdown from SuperGaming mixes "precision gunplay" with Jutsus, anime-style powers that feel lifted straight out of a Naruto binge. The launch comes with the Showdown Cup, an in-game tournament held in an esports arena inside a Shibuya-inspired hub. Co-founder Roby John isn't aiming small: "Our ambition is to help create the first generation of first-person shooter esports stars to come out of Roblox." A twelve-year-old somewhere is already practicing their victory speech.

Nemesis from RoyalFire Legends is all about movement: grappling hooks, hoverboards and wall-running. Creator Ryan McFarland describes it as having a "high skill ceiling with easy pickup and play mechanics," which is what every shooter promises and very few manage. When we checked its Roblox page on September 25, it was still labeled an alpha, with all weapons and abilities free during testing and no servers running at that moment. So "mid-September" may turn out to mean “sometime soon.”

Goats, Dinosaurs and a Farm

Not everything on the list involves guns. Thankfully. GOAT Football League comes from Red Wolves Studios in Argentina, a country that takes football seriously enough that making it about actual goats feels a little daring. Players compete as goats for the title of "The Goat." Federico De Tezanos Pinto, head of production, said the studio "chose Roblox to prototype and iterate quickly," which is a nice way of saying they didn't want to spend three years building a goat physics engine from scratch.

Fossil Force from Nibblebyte is a player-versus-environment dinosaur game set in a Jurassic-era world. Roblox highlighted its visuals: different biomes with their own dinosaurs, directional audio so you can hear something big coming, and biome-specific lighting. On YouTube, @ColonelAutumn-Jr had a one-line review: "Fossil force looks peak tho."
Caramel from Elbside Studios is the quiet one. No guns, no goats. It's a cozy 2D pixel-art farming game where you inherit a farm and build it up, basically a Stardew Valley mood inside Roblox. Creator Coyann said "custom technology went into making the 2D graphics possible," which makes sense, since Roblox was built for 3D blocks, not pixel-art turnips.

October Brings the Big Swings

October is where it gets ambitious. Prime Heroes is SuperGaming's second game on the list, a Roblox-exclusive team hero shooter in its own Prime universe. You pick a side and a hero and fight to capture "crown sites." It launches with six heroes and more in development. Roby John says it's "built around how Roblox players compete, form teams, and express themselves." In other words, a hero shooter that runs on the same phone kids use for homework.

Octane from Ignition Switch is an open-world racer with advanced physics for drifting and track interaction, free on any device. Lead Michael Loconte calls it "very much limitless," adding that you can "do whatever you want with your car." That's a bold promise on a platform where plenty of players are on an older phone, so we'll see how the drifting holds up.

Starforged from Studio Making Fun, part of Roblox's Incubator program, is a sci-fantasy action RPG. CEO John Welch lists "tactical combat, push-your-luck extraction, and deep progression systems," which sounds a lot like the extraction shooters taking over PC gaming, now with Roblox avatars.

And Scrapbook Saga, from creators FadedBFox and Xeycrow, might be the most charming one here. It's a multiplayer turn-based RPG where you play a flat paper character in an arts-and-crafts world, with hand-animated, exaggerated movements and four-player battles. Xeycrow's goal is "making the player feel alive rather than just being your avatar." On YouTube, @Jango-v1f was sold: “Some of these games look pretty good, but the 1 I'm most excited for is Scrapbook Saga!”

The Comments Section Had Other Plans

Roblox's one-minute preview video passed 314,000 views, and the 1,500-plus comments tell their own story.

Most people just said happy birthday. Xbox's official account joined in with "It's YOUR birthday and we're the ones getting spoiled." But the most-liked comments weren't about the new games at all. Popular YouTuber @thinknoodles wrote, "uh so anyways how about the new doors update," which got more than 600 likes, because nothing says "exciting new lineup" like fans asking about a different game entirely.

Others worried about what Roblox is turning into. "I can't say this is actually Roblox anymore..." wrote @PIN0FF. @DaRealRed3 noticed a pattern: "Notice how EVERY game has Rthro or some weird character?" (Rthro is Roblox's taller, more realistic avatar style, and many longtime players still miss the blocky classic look.) @AngelAdrian-sk3fy summed up that side of the fanbase: “Man, I hope the old Roblox look stays forever.”

Both camps have a point, to be honest. These games look far more polished than the Roblox of 2012. They also look less like the weird, homemade platform that made people love it in the first place.

So, Which Ones are Worth Trying?

If you like horror with friends, start with Monster in the Mansion. It has the strongest pedigree on the list and eight-player chaos is exactly what Roblox does best. Want something calmer? Try Caramel. And if October's Scrapbook Saga looks as good in play as it does in the trailer, it could be the sleeper hit of the fall.

I'll admit I'm most curious about GOAT Football League, mostly because I want to see what a goat does with a penalty kick. Like almost everything on Roblox, these games are free to play, so the real cost is your evenings. And if one of them turns out to be a flop, don't worry. There's always another round of Natural Disaster Survival waiting.
