Top Video Game Releases in October 2019

We are getting ever closer to the time of the year where too many games release and your wallet cries out for help. While not as many huge releases happen this October, there are still more than a few huge video game releases coming this month to get excited about. Here are the top video game releases of the month.

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Release Date: October 4^th

Based in the fictional Auroa Archipelago, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is the follow up to 2017’s Wildlands. The main enemy this time around is a former Ghost named Colonel Cole D. Walker. He and his group called the Wolves have taken over Auroa for the drone technology there. You will be fighting the wolves all across the 11 biomes, eco-cities, and robotics research sites that the drone company has set up. As with Wildlands, you will be able to play the entire game cooperatively and level up your Ghost as you continuously complete missions.

Killer Queen Black

Platforms: PC, Nintendo Switch

Release Date: October 11^th (Physical Switch copies available October 25^th)

Killer Queen Black is the home release of the popular arcade game Killer Queen. In it, you play as an army of bees facing off against another team as you attempt to beat them to one of the three objectives that will grant you victory. The military victory is achieved by defeating the enemy team’s queen, the economic victory is accomplished when your team fills up their berry reserve bank, and finally, the snail victory is granted when you ride your team’s snail all the way across the battlefield.

The Switch and PC versions of the game will have online quick play, ranked, and custom matches as well as support cross play. It will also be coming to the Xbox One later.

Overwatch

Platform: Nintendo Switch

Release Date: October 15^th

Overwatch originally released for PC and the other current generation consoles in 2016. Over three years later, it is making the jump to the Nintendo Switch. The popular hero shooter makes its way to the portable home console with added motion controls and a code for three months of Nintendo Switch Online. You will also have access to quite a few skins and a golden loot box which guarantees at least one legendary skin upon redemption. If you have played the game on one of the other platforms it is on, you will immediately recognize and fall in love with the 30 characters.

The Witcher III: Wild Hunt Complete Edition

Platform: Nintendo Switch

Release Date: October 15^th

Overwatch is not the only popular game making its way to the Switch on the 15^th. Popular RPG The Witcher III will come in with all of its DLC content in tow. You play as monster slayer Geralt of Rivia as he sets out on a story-driven, open world adventure set in a dark fantasy universe. What makes this such an exciting release is the very fact that you will be able to take this huge game wherever you go. Even if you have played it in the past, it is yet another great game to lose yourself in while traveling.

WWE 2K20

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Release Date: October 22^nd

2K’s annual release in the WWE franchise releases on the 22^nd of this month. The popular MyCareer and character creation modes return with an emphasis on being able to play as either a man or woman. The Showcase will focus on the journeys of the four horsewomen in the WWE, Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Bayley and Becky Lynch. If you are a WWE fan, you know what you are getting into with this game and should not be let down.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Release Date: October 25^th

Call of Duty’s annual release this time goes back to where the series truly exploded into the gaming juggernaut it has been for over the past decade. Modern Warfare is a reboot of the popular series that truly changed first-person shooters. After Black Ops IV removed its campaign, Modern Warfare is bringing it back with a story that is promising to challenge your idea of what is wrong and right in war. Of course, it’s not a Call of Duty game without multiplayer which will be bringing in night vision combat and the biggest maps in the series to date.

MediEvil Remake

Platform: PS4

Release Date: October 25^th

MediEvil was a game that originally released on the first PlayStation console in the 90’s. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight resurrected by an evil sorcerer. The game has been completely remade from the ground up with better visuals but should still feel just like it did back in the day (like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon).

The Outer Worlds

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One (later on Nintendo Switch)

Release Date: October 25^th

Outer Worlds is a giant world RPG much alike the Fallout series. So much like it in fact, that the game is being made by Obsidian, the studio that made Fallout: New Vegas and is being directed by Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky. Essentially, the game is set to be a more light-hearted Fallout set in space. You will have your skill trees, conversation choices, and will build up a list of followers to aid you on your journey. After the disappointment that was Fallout 76, The Outer Worlds should provide that big single player RPG players have been waiting a while for now.

Luigi’s Mansion 3

Platform: Nintendo Switch

Release Date: October 31^st

Luigi’s Mansion 3 makes its way onto the Switch appropriately on Halloween this year. Luigi has come to a fancy hotel along with Mario, Peach, and her Toads. Luigi wakes up to find everyone else in his party has gone missing so it is up to him to find everyone in a variety of different hotel rooms that will provide a diverse landscape of areas the series has not seen yet. The Poltergust, Luigi’s vacuum he uses to suck up ghosts, has also retrieved an upgrade and allows Luigi to bash his enemies on the ground to catch them. If you are looking to play with others, a cooperative partner can take control of Gooigi, an all goo form of Luigi that can squeeze into small spaces. A competitive multiplayer mode will also release alongside the game that features a 4v4 objective style battle.
