Every Major Game Releasing in November That Isn’t GTA 6

The month of November is dominated by one video game: Grand Theft Auto 6. Rockstar's highly anticipated open-world crime game is expected to create a cultural moment similar to Animal Crossing: New Horizons in 2020. This could leave players without interest in GTA feeling a bit bored as many developers have postponed their games to avoid being overshadowed by GTA 6. However, there are still several noteworthy games to look forward to in November.

Gravhounds, an upcoming co-op shooter, features gun-toting dogs fighting their way through an alien planet, armed with base-building mechanics and gravity-bending physics. It is set to launch into early access on November 2 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.

Fans of classic monsters may enjoy the remastered version of Godzilla: Destroy All Monster Melee, a cult favorite from the GameCube era. This freshly remastered fighting game, complete with online multiplayer, is set to arrive on the same platforms as Gravhounds.

Blizzard is celebrating 2000s nostalgia with World of Warcraft: Forever, an all-new version of its legendary MMO featuring retro graphics and brand-new content. This game could be a dream come true for fans who crave the MMO as it was during its heyday.

Nintendo's big move to counter-program GTA 6 is the remastered version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, complete with modernized controls and visuals. This game will be available on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2.

For multiplayer enthusiasts, Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School offers a series of escape rooms designed by professionals. The game includes local split-screen, making it a perfect choice for couples or friends looking for a fun puzzle game to play together.

Warhammer Survivors, a new game from the developers behind Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, offers a fresh take on the popular Warhammer lore. This game is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.

For a more lighthearted choice, Barbie Rewind offers a collection of beloved Barbie games from 1991 to 2007. This good-natured retro collection could be a welcome alternative to the hyper-violent crime simulator that is GTA 6.

Sonic fans won't be left out either, as Sega is celebrating the Blue Blur's 35th anniversary with Sonic Pico Park. This Sonic-themed spin-off of the multiplayer Pico Park series is set to bring a lot of fun and laughter as players work together to solve co-op puzzles.

If strategy games are more your style, Pikmin 4, the latest Switch game to receive the full Switch 2 Edition treatment, is a fantastic choice. The game offers satisfying critter-commanding and a charming feel-good vibe, with Dandori Academy providing an additional stage-structured challenge mode.

Lastly, Milki Delivery presents a cozy, indie charmer that puts players in charge of a dairy delivery service. This game offers an inviting vibe, akin to a Studio Ghibli film.
