First is <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/destiny-2/">Destiny 2</a>'s Taken King-sized expansion, Forsaken, which introduces Gambit mode, new enemies, story missions, and a wealth of other content to the shooter. Switch's massive JRPG <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/xenoblade-chronicles-2/">Xenoblade Chronicles 2</a> also receives its own sizable story expansion, Torna: The Golden Country, this month, which chronicles the downfall of the eponymous country 500 years before the events of the main game.</p><p>That's only scratching the surface of all the games September has to offer.
