After our first roundup featuring our picks for the best releases of November 2026, it’s time for a second one, covering the second half of the month. To no one's surprise, this list includes one game that could very well shake the world when it’s released…

New Releases

The famous heist franchise returns with PAYDAY: Aces High, a new installment, this time for VR. Once again, players will be able to plan and execute criminal operations by relying on coordination, stealth, and action, with an experience that will surely delight fans of immersive co-op games.

Aspiring coaches will be able to get back in the game with Football Manager 27, the latest installment in the soccer management simulation series. The most famous ogre from the kingdom of Far, Far Away returns in Shrek 2 Remastered, a modernized version of the video game inspired by the cult-classic animated film.

A slightly more unconventional project, Potion-making: Path of the Alchemist is the digital adaptation of a board game in which players must gather ingredients, brew potions, and combine recipes, spells, and talismans to outwit their rivals. Barbie Rewind, a collection that capitalizes on nostalgia and the colorful world of the famous doll, appeals to both longtime fans and the curious alike.

The Warhammer franchise is now venturing into the survival-style genre with Warhammer Survivors, an action game where hordes of enemies promise to put players’ reflexes to the test. Players must survive increasingly dangerous waves, upgrade their arsenal, and combine abilities to transform their character into a true war machine.

With its colorful world and laid-back approach, Littlelands should appeal to fans of indie adventures who like to take their time exploring. Another indie experience awaits players in Trees Hate You, a game that’s determined to make life miserable for players. We won’t say any more, just go check the trailer: it's worth it.

We haven’t forgotten about it… the legendary Grand Theft Auto 6 (or GTA VI for short) is finally hitting our screens this November. Head to the fictional state of Leonida and Vice City for a new criminal adventure starring Lucia and Jason, two protagonists caught up in a whirlwind of heists, betrayals, and schemes... Did it really need an introduction?

DLC & Expansions

The high-octane roguelite BALL x PIT takes to new heights with Risen Ballbylon, an expansion that flips the usual perspective by sending players up to an ancient city suspended in the sky. New areas to explore and unsettling mutations promise to revitalize combat and building possibilities.

After wreaking havoc across numerous environments, the goats of Goat Simulator 3 are taking on an amusement park in the Ticket to Dizzyworld expansion. Between rides, carnival games, customizable roller coasters, and new zany outfits, everything is in place to turn this playground into a massive, chaotic sandbox.

Ports

The fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio is set to conquer the Nintendo Switch 2 following its initial release in 2024. In a kingdom torn apart by political tensions, players will need to forge alliances, explore dungeons, and engage in turn-based combat enhanced by action mechanics.

The colorful little creatures of Pikmin 4 are off to a new adventure in an edition also coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. This enhanced version promises to deliver the exploration, Pikmin management, and tactical challenges that make the series so charming, with the Dandori Academy as a bonus to test players’ organizational skills and speed.

This November promises hours of great gameplay for fans of all kinds. With a variety of expansions, ports to the Switch 2, and the release of what some are calling the game of the decade already, this period is shaping up to be one of the most exciting of the year.
