Call of Duty: WWII by Sledgehammer Games, Activision – November 3rd

Call of Duty returns to its roots with Call of Duty: WWII—a breathtaking experience that redefines World War II for a new gaming generation. Land in Normandy on D-Day and battle across Europe through iconic locations in history’s most monumental war. Finally, after years spent in the future, the CoD franchise is returning to its roots and returning players from their double-jumping, wall-running shenanigans to firmly planted, boots-on-the-ground combat—for better or worse.

I went back and forth about including DLC on this list, but Horizon Zero Dawn has one of my favorite games this year, so I couldn’t help but include The Frozen Wilds on this list. Set beyond the northern mountains, The Frozen Wilds features a brand new area for Aloy to explore, in Ban-Ur, the homeland of the mystical Banuk tribe. I’ll take any excuse to jump back into this vicious, gorgeous world. For everything we know, check out our what to expect in The Frozen Wilds article.

Fight through a world destroyed by Dr. Eggman and a powerful new villain in Sonic Forces, the new fast-paced action platformer from the team that brought you Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations.

Need For Speed: Payback by Ghost Games, EA – November 10th

EA‘s series set the standard for open-world racing. Need for Speed: Payback looks like we’re getting a bit of (unofficial) The Fast and the Furious influence looped into the campaign. The story missions focus on big, brash stunts and police chases, with characters that seem like they’d fit right into that massive movie franchise. Forza Horizon has usurped Need for Speed as the must-play open-road racer of today, but maybe Payback‘s emphasis on intense thrills and narrative framing will help the series regain some of its lost momentum.

Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC

Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon by Game Freak, Nintendo – November 17th

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon will take players to a new realm, sending them through what’s called an “ultra wormhole” to find a parallel universe to Alola. Once at the capital city of Ultra Megopolis, it’s clear that something’s off: Necrozma, the most mysterious legendary from the previous seventh-gen titles, has darkened the entire Pokémon world, robbing it of its light sources.

An enemy force called the Ultra Recon Squad looks to profit off this catastrophe, seeking out auras that emanate from some of Bizarro Alola’s most powerful Pokémon trainers. In Ultra Sun, the team is headed up by Dulse and Zossie; in Ultra Moon, we’ll take on Soliera and Phyco.

Platform: 3DS

 

Star Wars Battlefront II by EA DICE – November 17th

If there was one big knock against EA‘s previous Star Wars Battlefront, it was the lack of compelling single-player content – but the multiplayer experience was pretty stellar. With Battlefront II, now we get it all: a proper campaign and way more online action to boot.

Star Wars Battlefront II‘s solo campaign sounds plenty intriguing, putting you in the boots of Empire commander Iden Versio as you attempt to take revenge for the Death Star‘s detonation. It unfolds between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, but the multiplayer action goes for the full cinematic span: combat across all three of the big movie eras.

Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC
