Welcome to November and we kick off this month with a somewhat slow start, as even this week's major release is technically a re-release of a game that's over 20 years old. The rest of this week's new releases includes a lot of early access games and kicks off with a pack of hounds in space, followed by a family friendly, multiplayer life/farming sim and an open world MMORPG. This is followed by an extended medieval city builder and we end the week with a haystack and you get to guess what you have to find in it. Don't forget to check out this week's other releases as well.

World of Warcraft: Forever / This week's major release / Wednesday 4 November
WoW: Forever is an invitation to take your first steps in a legendary world of untamed frontiers, warring factions, untold perils, and unseen mysteries. Experience an Azeroth that grows from the roots of WoW's first age, continually evolving through regular content patches and updates that promise never-ending adventure.

Bend Studio, the game studio behind 2019's Days Gone action-adventure game, is apparently already knee-deep in the production of its next game, and it has been unofficially confirmed that Bend's next project will not be Days Gone 2, according to a report by MP1st, who cites anonymous insiders familiar with Bend Studio's inner workings.

The insider explains that the project is a third-person co-op game, and that it is slated to be revealed sometime in 2027, with a late 2027 launch, to boot. At the time of the leak, it was confirmed that the game will not be a live-service game, despite Sony's renewed push for live-service games. While this has the implication that the game might appeal to more of Sony's core audience, it also means that it will likely be a PS5-exclusive, given Sony's unrelenting desire to lock players into its console platform.

No Man's Sky had a rough start to life, with Hello Games having had to put in nearly a decade's worth of work to right the ship and get the game to "Very Positive" reviews on Steam. Now, following a handful of significant gameplay and content updates since that success, Hello Games has announced the Forsaken update, a new content update to No Man's Sky that builds on the game's exploration, building, and research mechanics.

The Forsaken update, officially version 7.10 of the game, adds a minimal HUD mode for a more immersive experience, minimizing the compass, hazard protection bars, and mission notifications. Hello Games says this mode is especially suited for experienced players. On the gameplay and content side of things, however, the update also introduces "Haunting Mementos," a new set piece that sees gamers searching the abandoned wrecks, infested outposts, and derelict freighters in deep space for "bizarre, horrifying biological samples."

After plenty of rumors, Epic Games has finally made it official: One Piece is coming to Fortnite. The official Fortnite account on X posted three straw hat emojis on October 24, along with a short teaser showing the Going Merry, the Straw Hat Pirates' first ship, sailing out of the fog before a joint Fortnite and One Piece logo appears. The collaboration is tied to Treasure Hunters, a pirate-themed mini-season that kicks off on November 1 and closes out Chapter 7 before Chapter 8 arrives. The same account also posted "The greatest adventure of all! 11.1" that day to tease the start date.

It looks like that's about all Epic has shared so far. There's no word on which characters will show up as skins, what's coming to the Item Shop, or whether the content goes live on day one or later in the season. People were quick to point out that the ship in the teaser looks like the anime version, not the one from Netflix's live-action series, so the collab will probably lean on the anime, though Epic hasn't said so. Treasure Hunters also looks set to bring Pirate Miku and Kasane Teto, based on teasers from their official accounts. Of course, this isn't the first time the Straw Hats have touched Fortnite. Netflix and Enthusiast Gaming put out a One Piece Creative map back in 2023 to promote the live-action show, though it had no skins. Players can expect more details as November 1 gets closer.

Nomad Games and Balor Games are thrilled to reveal HeroQuest: Digital Edition, an officially licensed adaptation of HeroQuest, the iconic tabletop classic that helped define the dungeon-crawling adventure genre. Unveiled during The MIX Fall Showcase, HeroQuest: Digital Edition brings the action to PC via Steam in 2027, with a Closed Beta playtest coming soon.

An enduring tabletop legacy is reborn as an immersive digital adventure with HeroQuest: Digital Edition. The sinister Dread sorcerer Zargon seeks to conquer the Realm, and only four brave heroes stand in his way. Players will lead the Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf and Wizard on a perilous quest into the dungeon to destroy the forces of Dread and protect the Realm. Players can also take on the role of Zargon, plotting and scheming behind the scenes to strike down the opposing fellowship.

Welcome to a new week of games and this week's AAA release comes with a fishy smell, which kind of goes with its Friday release, but it looks like fans of the franchise will be having a good time based on advanced access feedback. As for this week's regular releases, we kick off with a couple of very different Sci-Fi games, the first is a co-op puzzle, whereas the other one is set in a much more familiar universe, but is set on a planet rather than a star ship. This is followed by a zombie action RPG where you're the zombie, a pixel-art version of a famous JRPG and finally we end the week with cats, but not the kind that is napping on your lap. Don't forget to check out this week's other releases as well.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 / This week's AAA release / Friday 23 October

Razer is no stranger to Pokémon-themed gaming peripherals, with the brand recently having released the Pikachu and Evee collection, followed by the Charizard, Lucario, and Sylveon Edition BlackShark V3 HyperSpeed headsets. Its latest collaboration, the Pixel Art Pokémon collection, seems to target the nostalgia nerds in the Pokémon community with peripherals bearing imagery of the original 151 Pokémon in true in all their pixellated fashion. For now, the Razer Pixel Art Pokémon collection is launching in China, and it's unclear if it will be a China-exclusive or if it will have an international launch at a later date.

The Pixel Art Pokémon Collection includes matching Razer Viper V4 Pro [read our review here], Black Widow V4 Pro wireless mechanical keyboard and wrist rest, a large desk mat, and an Iskur V2 gaming chair. The peripherals are currently on pre-sale in China via Bilibili and Tmall, with a full launch planned for before the end of November, so that may be when we see an international launch.

After a few busy weeks of new game releases, this week is a bit slower, but it doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of new releases, just nothing that really stands out. This week's major release takes us off-roading in a very colourful game. We kick off the week with some RTS planning in a WW2 setting, which is followed by a first person RPG set in the Napoleonic era, followed by another first person game, but this time with trolls in the Finnish forests and we're not talking about the Moomin kind. We end the week with a 2D platformer set in a familiar universe and finally we have a very different city builder which brings Discworld vibes. Don't forget to check out this week's other releases as well.

Welcome to week 40 where we move from September to October and this week's major release is a life sim set in a cyberpunk city.

Blaze Entertainment has today announced two new Evercade cartridge collections in partnership with British games publisher System 3, bringing together some of the company's most celebrated franchises in physical form for Evercade.

The first collection brings together two icons of the home computer era, International Karate and The Last Ninja, combining martial arts action with one of the most distinctive action-adventure series of the 1980s and '90s. The second celebrates the much-loved James Pond series, bringing the aquatic secret agent's unique blend of platforming, humour and unmistakably British character to Evercade.

The Moirai have woven a long thread - after roughly a year and a half of hard Early Access labor, that thread is finally nearing its final knot. Hermes, herald of the gods, has descended to the mortal realm to announce the decision of the Pantheon: the Olympians are pleased with the efforts of hundreds of thousands of mortal adventurers, who already faced their Nemesis. In their eternal, divine greatness, they are granting us: a release date! Hermes is pleased to announce that Titan Quest II will leave Early Access and launch into full release on January 19th, 2027, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

The Titan Quest II Odyssey has been long and full of epic adventures, right from ancient Greek mythology. Guided by feedback from a vast number of heroes during Early Access, Titan Quest II has been expanded through numerous updates that added new lands to conquer, new powers to wield, and new treasures to loot along the way. The developers at Grimlore Games have forged an ARPG like no other, with its unique mastery system that offers the players an immense amount of freedom while creating their own unique heroes. Version 1.0 pulls every strand together into the complete tapestry the Moirai had planned all along - plus a fair bit more.

As we enter the last full week of September, we kick off with a sequel AAA release from a Finnish developer that has many famous games in its catalogue. If that's not for you, then how about a racing game unlike any other racing game you've seen or maybe you prefer to manage a graveyard? We also have some slow cruising and a horror spin-off from a franchise that started back in 1999, as well as the option to be a wild west pioneer, hopefully without dysentery on the trail. Don't forget to check out some of the other games launching this week as well.

Steam link

As we enter the middle of September, we kick off the week with an open world creature collector that doesn't appear to borrow too heavily from the famous Nintendo franchise, but some parallels can obviously be drawn. As for the rest of this week's release, we start with a different take on an RPG, where you're the guild master instead of the adventurer and we follow this up with an action horror FPS with PvP battles. If you'd rather be a DVD salesman/assassin, we got you covered this week and if that's not your beat, how about part of a JRPG or maybe you prefer an evolutionary resource management automation builder? Don't forget to check out the other new releases this week as well, but be warned that they're all early access games.

As we enter the second week of September, there are a lot of new releases, but all the more popular games are being released at more or less the same days, so we're going to change things up a bit to cover the most popular new releases. We kick off with what's easily the biggest release this week—but it's also an early access game—which changes up the typical FPS war game by throwing in a third team in the mix. Next up we have a classic horror movie that has been turned into a game, although it seems to be launching over a month too early. If that's not your thing, then we have some battle castles, a sci-fi survival/base building game, followed by a horror RPG farming sim and we end the week with a first person shooter that comes with an optional VR mode for those that own a VR headset.

Wardogs / This week's major release / Early access / Thursday 10 September

Gamescom 2026 has been a smorgasbord of new games, DLC's, and other updates for gamers, and now Pearl Abyss's Crimson Desert joins Worms: Galactic Tactics, The Witcher 3, and Afterworld with a new Enhanced Update that dropped at Gamescom, with reworks coming to address much of the game's weaknesses—the story. Crimson Desert Enhanced launched at Gamescom as a free update to the base game, and those who do not yet own the game, with the Mac App Store being the only platform where the updated version is not available at the time of writing.

Crimson Desert Enhanced, which is officially titled patch 2.00.00, introduces new cut-scenes to the game, expanding on the narrative, which Pearl Abyss says "improved the main story and quests," and the narrative flow of the main story, and "added knowledge, items, memory fragments, dialog lines, and conversations to strengthen the narrative of bosses." Additionally, the update improves the skill leaning system by adding Abyss Link as a new resource shared among all playable characters, meaning when one playable character learns a new skill, it allows other playable characters to benefit from that progress.

We kick off the week in a galaxy far, far away with some turned-based tactics, as this week's major release.
