A month dominated by Forza Horizon and Call of Duty

With a few exceptions, November 2021 will be a quiet month for gamers who limit themselves to high-profile titles. On the other hand, if you’re a Forza Horizon, Battlefield or Call of Duty fan, November is definitely your month.

Until one of the biggest releases of the year, Call of Duty: Vanguard, we’re going to get several indie games that seem quite interesting. The month kicks off with an Early Access title, Giants Uprising, on November 2, followed by World War Z (Nintendo Switch), Tunche (PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch), Demon Turf (PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch), and Conway: Disappearance at Dahlia View (PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch), all coming out on the same day.

Time Loader is set for release on PC on November 3, while Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation Code Fairy is getting its PlayStation 4/5 release on November 4.

As many of you probably know by now, Call of Duty: Vanguard will be out for PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on November 5, followed by another triple A title on November 9: Forza Horizon 5 (PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S).

If you’re not into racing games, Gust, the studio behind the Atelier series, is launching another JRPG on November 9: Blue Reflection – Second Light. The game will only be available for PC, PlayStation 4/5, and Nintendo Switch (sorry Xbox fans).

But we’re not done with the games releasing on November 9. There are two mildly interesting games coming out on the same day as Forza Horizon 5: Jurassic World Evolution 2 (PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S) and Clunky Hero (Steam Early Access).

Two days later, on November 11, Rockstar’s hotly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will launch on PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.

If you’re not going to check out the remastered versions of the older GTA games, a few other titles are coming out on the same day: Synthetik 2 (Steam Early Access), Bright Memory: Infinite (PC), and Breakwaters (Steam Early Access).

Shin Megami Tensei 5 is set for release on Nintendo Switch on November 12, followed by Sherlock Holmes Chapter One (PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S), Moncage (PC), and The Last Stand: Aftermath (PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S) on November 16.

The middle of the month will be quite busy too with at least four other releases, including a major one. Our all-time favorite vampires, Bloodrayne, is making a comeback this year, so nostalgic fans can pick up the upcoming Bloodrayne: Revamped and Bloodrayne 2: Revamped on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on November 18. Indie game Undungeon is also slated for a November 18 release on PC and Xbox One.

The third major release of the month, and the biggest of the year for many gamers, Battlefield 2042 is scheduled for release on PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on November 19. However, there’s a chance that the next installment in the Battlefield series might be delayed due to the negative feedback received after the open beta.

Moving on to another big game series coming out next month, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl are both arriving on Nintendo Switch on November 19.

There are a few other games expected to release next month, such as Evil Genius 2: World Domination (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S) that’s set for launch on November 30, as well as Icarus (PC) and My Singing Monsters Playground (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch), which don’t have an exact release date.
