As we approach the end of the year, November has some surprises stored for all gamers. Google Stadia also releases on 19 November, which is also a huge turning point for the future of gaming. Cloud streaming is still in an early development phase and Google Stadia is the first of them to come.
There are many games being ported over to the Google Stadia as well, including Assassin's Creed: Odyssey and many new releases. The disadvantage of the Stadia and cloud streaming is that there is no offline play, but the biggest advantage is that you can play on any device you want.
But it's not just the Google Stadia to look forward to. There are several exciting releases for the PS4, Xbox One and PC this November and here are five of the most exciting releases in November.
#6 Planet Zoo
Release Date: 5 November 2019
Available on: PC
If you've played Roller Coaster Tycoon, Sims Theme Park or similar games, Planet Zoo is a game for you. It is a simulator where you need to manage and maintain a zoo, attract visitors and more. You can care for your animals, build relationships between your animals and make your zoo the most attractive to your visitors.
Planet Zoo will only be on PC for now and it is quite a niche genre but still an exciting release to see.
#5 Shenmue 3
Release Date: 19 November 2019
Available on: PS4, PC
The Shenmue series is one of the most critically acclaimed series of all time. The first two games were some of the most expensive games ever developed. The story spans over multiple games but Shenmue III never took off for over a decade, despite the demand.
Director Yu Suzuki announced a crowdfunding initiative on Kickstarter for Shenmue III. It quickly became the highest ever video game crowdfunding of all time, reaching $7 million in total. The game has a rich story and a rich open world, and Shenmue fans have been waiting for quite long for this game to happen.
#4 Need for Speed: Heat
Release Date: 8 November 2019
Available On: PS4, Xbox One, PC
The next Need for Speed is finally here! Need for Speed: Heat is also releasing to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary. The game will feature a story mode and the ability to choose between the day/night cycles. Players can also earn money and reputation by participating in races in multiple events throughout the story.
There is also an app for iOS and Android called "NFS Heat Studio" where players can customize their cars and designs and upload them directly into the game.
#3 Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order
Release Date: 15 November 2019
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC
EA/Respawn return with a new Star Wars game and one of their most hyped titles. Jedi Fallen Order is set shortly after the events of Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. EA has also recently announced that you will be able to purchase the game for PC on Steam.
The game features classics such as weilding a Lightsaber and manipulating the power of The Force. It is an adventure, action as well as a puzzle solving game where the player is on the run from the Empire.
#2 Pokemon Sword and Shield
Release Date: 15 November 2019
Available on: Nintendo Switch
The 8th generation of Pokemon is here at last. Pokemon Sword and Shield are the second set of games for the Nintendo Switch but the first of its generation on the console. It is Gamefreak's most ambitious Pokemon game yet, with a huge overworld, graphic upgrades and many more features we haven't even seen yet.
Pokemon Sword and Shield will feature Gigantamaxing, a new feature where your Pokemon become huge and powerful temporarily. You can also battle against wild Gigantamax Pokemon with 3 other players online, a feature which was not so casually available in previous games.
#1 Death Stranding
Release Date: 8 November 2019
Available on: PS4
The number uno spot for the most anticipated game in November goes to Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding. Kojima, the man behind games such as Metal Gear Solid and many famous titles from Konami, is releasing his first game since he disbanded with Konami 4 years ago in 2015.
Death Stranding features Walking Dead star Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, Guillermo Del Toro and many other famous faces. It is set in a dystopian America and it has an incredibly complex narrative. We are spoiler free for now but from the trailers and gameplay, it's hard to tell what the game is really about.
But with Hideo Kojima's reputation and the long development this game took, we can expect a surprise and a polished, adventurous game. Death Stranding will also be available for PC sometime in 2020.
