The best games of November 2026

9 days ago, by Enzo

November 2026 is shaping up to be a special month: the whole world is obviously eagerly awaiting the release of GTA VI in the second half of the month. However, many other games are also coming out in the coming weeks, even though major AAA titles have tended to push back their release dates. Let’s take a look at our first selection of the month’s best games.

New releases

Gravhounds is launching in Early Access and combines third-person action, base-building, and co-op gameplay. Players will have to explore hostile planets, gather as many resources as possible, and defend their base against the alien creatures that inhabit these environments.

Fans of tough challenges can check out Demon Source, an indie action-RPG that combines the demanding combat of a souls-like game with the replayability of a roguelike. The kaijus are back to wreak havoc in Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered, a modernized version of the fighting game originally released in 2002. It features destructible environments and spectacular battles brought up to date thanks to Unreal Engine 5.

Loftia offers a cozy multiplayer experience in a colorful world made up of floating islands. On the agenda: building, farming, customization, and activities to share with friends—all in a universe that emphasizes cooperation and a more sustainable lifestyle. For those seeking a sense of accomplishment, Cozy Game Restoration is the perfect choice, as it involves restoring old consoles and video games.

Of course, we haven’t forgotten the most important title in this first selection. One of the most iconic entries in the Nintendo saga is back with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake. Link will once again have to travel through time, explore dungeons, and face off against Ganondorf in an adventure that has left a profound mark on the history of video games.

With Theos: Cities of Myth, management game fans can try their hand at building cities inspired by myths and ancient civilizations. Finally, the start of the school year promises to be particularly eventful in Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School, which transforms the formula of the first game into an adventure set on a fully explorable campus. Players will have to solve puzzles, uncover secrets, complete quests, and foil a conspiracy—either alone or with a partner in local or online co-op.

DLC & Expansions

Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Keepsake Sea invites the valley’s residents to set sail for a new adventure with a nautical theme. This expansion introduces underwater areas, three new biomes to explore, and the ability to transform into a sea creature, while offering a storyline tied to the valley’s origins. Several new Disney characters will also join the adventure, such as the legendary Jack Sparrow.

Motorsports fans can check out the World Endurance Pack for Project Motor Racing. This expansion adds eleven cars across four endurance categories, including LMP1 and LMP2 prototypes as well as historic GTP models. The Fuji Speedway circuit also takes center stage.

Ports

Star-Lord and his crew are set to embark on a new platform with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Encore Edition, announced for Nintendo Switch 2. This action-adventure game lets you take control of the hero and lead his team of colorful heroes through a campaign that blends combat, exploration, and humorous dialogue.

Finally, the excellent Stellar Blade is also getting a port to Switch 2. This action game follows Eve in a futuristic world ravaged by hostile creatures, featuring dynamic and sometimes challenging combat that relies heavily on dodging, parrying, and learning your opponents’ moves.

Between new releases, expansions, and even Switch 2 ports, this first part of the November 2026 schedule promises plenty of variety. Fans of management games, cozy games, and challenging titles will also find several new releases to add to their wish lists. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements to discover what’s new with the highly anticipated GTA VI!
