Once you are done working your way through Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, another avalanche of video game releases is on the way in November. For many of you, the rest of the year will probably be dominated by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. For Switch owners, Nintendo has two more first-party titles set to launch: The latest WarioWare microgame collection and the Super Mario RPG remake.
Best new game releases of November 2023
The Talos Principle 2
- Release date: November 2
- Systems: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
- Where to buy: PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Steam, Epic Games Store
Picking up where the original game left off, The Talos Principle 2 is a first-person puzzle game featuring more than a dozen environments that players can explore, including “a city on the brink of a paradigm shift,” and “the varied landscapes of a mysterious island that holds the keys to the future.” To solve these puzzles, you’ll have access to a variety of abilities from the first game as well as new powers, such as gravity manipulation and mind transference.
WarioWare: Move It!
- Release date: November 3
- Systems: Switch
- Where to buy: Nintendo eShop, Amazon
Move It! is the second game in the WarioWare series for the Switch. As the name suggests, this entry will task players with physically moving around in order to complete over 200 microgames. Grab the Joy-Con controllers to “shake, punch, dance, wiggle, and curtsey” your way to victory. There’s a story mode, but you can also play with up to 4 players.
Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
- Release date: November 9
- Systems: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC
- Where to buy: PlayStation Store, Steam
After the events of the original Yakuza games, Kazuma Kiryu faked his death and changed his name to protect his family. In The Man Who Erased His Name, Kiryu has to resurface against his will. The big difference between this and previous Yakuza games is that Kiryu can swap between two different fighting styles (Yakuza and Agent) as he battles foes. But despite the higher stakes, Kiryu still has time for karaoke, drinking, and toy car racing.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
- Release date: November 10
- Systems: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC
- Where to buy: PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Steam, Battle.net, Amazon
Originally planned as an expansion pack, Modern Warfare 3 is a full sequel to the rebooted MW2, picking up in the immediate aftermath of the 2022 game. In the campaign, Captain Price and Task Force 141 will face off against ultranationalist Vladimir Makarov as his power and reach grow. Beyond the campaign, MW3 will also feature a multiplayer mode that includes all 16 MW2 maps at launch and a new open-world Zombies mode.
Super Mario RPG
- Release date: November 17
- Systems: Switch
- Where to buy: Nintendo eShop, Amazon
Super Mario RPG is a modern remake of the beloved Super Nintendo turn-based role-playing game with updated graphics and cinematics. Mario, Peach, and Bowser team up with original characters Geno and Mallow to save Star Road and take down the Smithy Gang. If you have played any of the Mario & Luigi games, you’ll be familiar with the semi-active battles, during which you can press a button at the right time to block or do extra damage.
