Game highlights in November
Which game are you looking forward to the most?
These are the game highlights in November
1.11.2026
Translation: machine translated
For once, November is almost empty. There is a reason for this, and its name is "GTA VI". But not everyone is cowering before Rockstar's magnum opus – most notably a boy with a green cap and pointed ears.
Ten years ago in November, «Train Fever» became «Transport Fever». With this, the Swiss studio Urban Games not only delivered the game highlight of that time but also set the course for a series that was not limited to just trains and went on to become a million-seller. Another game this month, which also features all kinds of vehicles, is likely to sell even better. And there are also some promising candidates waiting for you on a smaller scale.
«Gravhounds»
You play as a pack of space dogs that must build a base on a hostile planet and defend it against aliens. Although, the dogs are actually the invaders. Such profound questions are hardly answered here. Instead, the game promises chaotic battles with physics-based gimmicks. Whether it's while building the base or when you're catapulting aliens through the area.
When: November 2
Where: PC, Xbox Series (Early Access)
Multiplayer: Online co-op for 4 people
«Kick»
My route to school led along a steep main road, so it wasn't advisable to unpack the football there. «Kick», however, wants to capture exactly that feeling of how football-loving children always wandered around the neighborhood with a ball. It looks like a charming 2D platformer where you kick your way through a picturesque Japan.
When: November 3
Where: PC
Multiplayer: no
«Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered»
Almost 25 years after its release on the Gamecube, you can now brawl with giant Kaijus on modern platforms thanks to the remastered version. That's what monsters like Godzilla are called in Japanese. There are 12 to choose from, and they beat each other up in eight locations, including recreated cities from all over the world. It was fun back then and looks appealing again thanks to updated graphics.
When: November 3
Where: PC, PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, Switch 2
Multiplayer: PvP, online and local
«Lost Host»
The story is reminiscent of «Toy Story» and the child looks similarly «uncanny» as in the first Pixar film. One night, the owner of a toy car suddenly disappears and it is your job to find the boy again. Steer the vehicle through children's rooms, front yards, and further and further away from home. Sometimes you race against other model cars, sometimes you fight against robots, and sometimes you have to get past guard dogs. Seems refreshingly original.
When: November 4
Where: PC
Multiplayer: no
«World of Warcraft Forever»
With «World of Warcraft Forever», there will soon be a third version of the MMO to play alongside «Classic» and «Retail». Here, you are capped at level 60 forever. There will be no expansions that turn everything upside down, no flying mounts, and other newfangled stuff. Here you experience WoW in its purest form, albeit with 1000 new quests, new regions, a new race, and better graphics. I am gigantically excited.
When: November 4
Where: PC
Multiplayer: Online PvP and co-op
«The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake»
You won't get a better opportunity to play what many consider the best «Zelda» of all time anytime soon. In our rating, the game narrowly landed in 2nd place. I disdained it back then and preferred to blast dinos in «Turok». This time, I will definitely not miss the game, which has been developed from the ground up, and finally find out why the fans never stop raving about it.
When: November 5
Where: Switch 2
Multiplayer: no
«Airframe Ultra»
For a long time, I was convinced that the blurry polygon look of the PlayStation 1 era would never celebrate a comeback. «Airframe Ultra» is another example that proves me wrong. The fast-paced action racing game reminds me of «Wipeout» and «Twisted Metal». You take part in illegal Ultra Circuit races where there are no rules and you prevent competitors from winning with pipes, chains, and plasma torches.
When: November 5
Where: PC
Multiplayer: Online PvP and co-op
«Dreadmoor»
I like fishing games, I like creepy locations, and I love upgrading equipment and vehicles. «Dreadmoor» offers all of that combined. It looks like «Dredge» from a first-person perspective. The world is flooded and ravenous monsters lurk everywhere, wanting to get at you and your boat.
When: November 9
Where: PC (Early Access)
Multiplayer: no
«Australia Did It»
Rami Ismail, who released «Ridiculous Fishing» and «Nuclear Throne» among others with the studio Vlambeer, is back with a new game. It offers an unusual mix of turn-based tower defense and reverse bullet hell. In other words: tactical battles on a seven-by-seven grid followed by train rides where you fend off hordes of monsters in real-time. Sounds and looks pretty wild.
When: November 10
Where: PC
Multiplayer: no
«Warhammer Survivors»
Even more enemies await you in «Warhammer Survivors». As the name suggests, the game takes «Vampire Survivors» as a model – both visually and in terms of gameplay. It is also being created in collaboration with poncle, the studio behind «Vampire Survivors». Here you travel to the 41st millennium to mow down thousands of monsters with increasingly extravagant weapons.
When: November 10
Where: PC, PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, Switch 2, Android, iOS
Multiplayer: no
«Football Manager 27»
Comfortably from the sidelines, you control the action in the latest «Football Manager». After the scathing reviews of the last installment, special attention was paid to the user interface.
When: November 1
Where: PC, PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2
Multiplayer: yes
«Moomin: Midsummer Madness»
I don't quite understand why «Moomin: The Warmth of Winter» is released in April and «Moomin: Midsummer Madness» in autumn. But the schedules of game studios are a mystery in themselves. At least this way, I can warm up during the cold season with this enchantingly looking point-and-click adventure.
When: November 12
Where: PC, Switch, Switch 2
Multiplayer: no
«9 Kings»
Normally I'm more for «No Kings» but I'm happy to make an exception for this game. Here you build a kingdom in a roguelike manner to protect it from rushing enemies. The nine kings have different starting decks with buildings, troops, and spells. It has been in the early access phase for over a year and has already gathered many fans there.
When: November 12
Where: PC (already available in Early Access)
Multiplayer: Online PvP
«Milki Delivery»
A delivery service adventure in which you rebuild a community together with your cow Milki. You collect resources, upgrade your bike, and expand your barn. Looks adorable and exudes those typical Studio Ghibli feelings.
When: November 17
Where: PC
Multiplayer: no
«Grand Theft Auto VI»
Presumably the most expensive game of all time, which ensures that most other games move as far away as possible from the impact zone on November 19. When millions of players all over the world make Leonida unsafe as the gangster duo Lucia and Jason, it will be an incomparable event. Rockstar promises a huge game world, countless interaction possibilities, and an unprecedented level of detail. And the online mode isn't even included in that.
When: November 19
Where: PS5, Xbox Series
Multiplayer: no
«Volvy’s Adventure: Reslimed»
Volvy is not intimidated by «GTA 6». The – according to studio Doinksoft – most famous game mascot of all time. Sure, who doesn't know the two-legged, orange, hedgehog-like creature? The game is a lovingly designed 2D platformer that could have come straight from the Game Boy Color. That was what the game was originally planned for. Together with publisher Devolver Digital, it was then decided that it deserved a bigger platform. And while you're at it, you might as well take on the biggest game of all time.
When: November 19
Where: PC
Multiplayer: no
«Appulse»
A shooter in the guise of a pinball machine? I definitely haven't come across that yet. In «Appulse», it is simultaneously your spaceship that you have to protect from attackers. For this, you don't just use the two paddles, but steer the ball directly by shooting. Only that the force catapults you in the opposite direction. Definitely needs practice, as I was able to find out for myself at the last Gamescom.
When: November 26
Where: PC
Multiplayer: no
¹ Switch 1 version, which is also compatible with the Switch 2.
Teaser images: «Planet Zoo 2», «Crimson Desert», «End of Abyss», «Star Wars Galactic Racer»

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chAs a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
