November is the biggest month of 2015 for video games. Not only do we see the return of Bethesda’s beloved post-apocalyptic franchise in Fallout 4, but DICE are also looking to not raise the ire of Star Wars fans by releasing a Star Wars Battlefront game that matches expectations, while the Xbox One gets its timed exclusive Rise of the Tomb Raider and Treyarch returns to Call of Duty with Black Ops 3.
Let’s take a look at all the games that will be released this month, and when you’ll be able to get your hands on them:
Air Conflicts: Pacific Carriers (PS4) – November 3rd
Anno 2205 (PC) – November 3rd
Need for Speed (Xbox One, PS4, PC) – November 3rd
Peanuts: Snoopy’s Grand Adventure (Xbox One, 360, PS4, Wii U, 3DS) – November 3rd
Evolve Ultimate Edition (Xbox One, PS4) – November 4th
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (Xbox One, PS4, PC) – November 6th
Treyarch’s next entry in the Call of Duty series and the third Black Ops game sees the military shooter stepping into the future once again, picking up where Advanced Warfare left off with a greater freedom of movement, more verticality thanks to a variety of new parkour-esque abilities and a 4-play co-op campaign.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut (PC) – November 6th
Yo-Kai Watch (3DS) – November 6th
Alekhine’s Gun (Xbox One, PS4, PC) – November 10th
Fallout 4 (Xbox One, PS4, PC) – November 10th
Bethesda returns to one of the most heavily anticipated sequels in video game history, bringing its post-apocalyptic RPG to the current console generation in what many are expecting will be a prime contender for game of the year.
Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One, Xbox 360) – November 10th
Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void (PC, Mac) – November 10th
Rodea The Sky Soldier (Wii U, 3DS) – November 10th
Superbeat: Xonic (Vita) – November 10th
Knight Squad (Xbox One, PC) – November 16th
Borderlands: Triple Pack (360, PS3) – November 17th
The Crew: Wild Run (Xbox One, PS4, PC) – November 17th
Star Wars Battlefront (Xbox One, PS4, PC) – November 17th
Can EA/DICE possibly match the high level of expectations Star Wars fans have for this squad-based shooter? The Battlefront beta was the most downloaded in EA’s history, so it’s already incredibly likely that the game will be a juggernaut in terms of sales, but hopefully its quality can compete with its early popularity. With no single-player campaign to speak of, Battlefront’s multiplayer component is going to have to be very good to keep fans happy.
Stella Glow (3DS) – November 17th
Sword Art Online: Lost Song (PS4, Vita) – November 17th
Hard West (PC, Mac, Linux) – November 18th
Celestial Tear: Demon’s Revenge (PC) – November 19th
Mayan Death Robots (PC) – November 20th
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash (Wii U) – November 20th
The Wii U’s most high-profile release heading into the holiday season, you could be forgiven for not having heard a lot about Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, and that’s because Nintendo isn’t really talking about it a whole lot. Still, the Mario Tennis games have always provided silly fun in terms of local multiplayer, and hopefully Ultra Smash is no different in that respect.
Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon (3DS) – November 20th
Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires (Vita) – November 24th
Teslagrad (Vita) – November 24th
One Final Breath (PC, Linux, Xbox One, PS4, PS3, Vita) – November 26
Check out our weekly video game recommendation series You Should Play in the gallery below:
You Should Play: November 2015
-
You Should Play: November 9th - 15th
-
Fallout 4
"It's been hailed as Bethesda's largest game yet, with players able to spend hundreds of hours in its world becoming a hero (or villain) of the wasteland. Put your social life on hold, because Fallout 4 demands all of your attention."
-
Rise of the Tomb Raider
"The end result is a game that stands as one of the best ever entries in the Tomb Raider series, and an experience that shouldn't be missed even if you do plan to spend the next few weeks of your life slumming it in post-apocalyptic Boston."
-
StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void
"For StarCraft II players picking this one up will be a no-brainer, but with it being available to purchase without having to also buy vanilla StarCraft II, newcomers who are curious about the series can also jump on board, too."
-
You Should Play: November 2nd - 8th
-
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
"Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 sees Treyarch returning to the mammoth franchise and hopefully brushing off a little of that "CoD fatigue" many fans of the series are suffering with."
-
Poncho
"Delve Interactive's Poncho looks to be the closest thing we'll get to a Fez 2, though it certainly has enough of its own unique appeal to make it an intriguing prospect in its own right."
-
Need for Speed
"Signs point to this being a worthy addition to the series, mixing slick visuals with tight gameplay and the option to link up with other racers on the fly, challenging them to races as you encounter them in similar fashion to Forza Horizon 2's dynamic multiplayer."
