The penultimate month of the 2020 gaming year is just around the corner and will finally bring us the next-gen consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X. We'll introduce you to the most important new games in November 2020.

While the FIFA 21 release dominated October, November will be full of variety. In the middle of the month, PS5 and Xbox Series S|X will herald the next generation of consoles and bring some highlights with them. But it will also be an exciting month with the most important game releases in November 2020.

DIRT 5

  • Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X
  • Release Date: November 6

After the tough DIRT Rally 2.0 and the successful WRC 9, the DIRT 5 off-road racing game is finally back to fun. Instead of an ultra-realistic racing simulation, a brightly colored, fun-filled successor to the legendary DIRT 3 awaits us, where we get behind the wheel of a variety of cars to show what we're made of on snow, ice, and mud.

And by the way: And a cool editor in the form of the Playgrounds mode, which we were already able to play in a preview, is also on top. That will be fun.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered

  • Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch
  • Release Date: November 6

Speaking of arcade riding fun. With Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered one of the most legendary games of the time-honored racing returns to the screens. With improved graphics, completely rebuilt gameplay, and all that made the original from 2010 great.

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla

  • Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X
  • Release Date: November 10

Ubisoft's assassins will also make their comeback in November. After trips to ancient Egypt and Greece, this time we will be heading for the icy north. As Viking Eivor Wolfsmal we move to England and search for a new home for our clan.

Assassin's Creed with Vikings? That's what fans have been wanting for a long time, finally, our dreams will come true. We'll start our adventure on November 10.

Gears Tactics

  • Platform: Xbox Series X
  • Release Date: November 10

At the launch of the next-generation console Xbox Series X, the Master Chief is absent. So, the gears have to jump into the breach. Gears Tactics is the name of the strategy game of the shooter series, and it already made an excellent impression in our test of it on PC.

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War

  • Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X
  • Release Date: November 13

Of course, the cult shooter series Call of Duty will also have a new series this year. Black Ops: Cold War follows on seamlessly from the events of the original Black Ops from 2010 and takes us back to the Cold War era.

In addition to the exciting story, fans can look forward to the completely revamped multiplayer mode and the return of the battle royale mode Warzone, which will provide a fresh gaming experience with many new features.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

  • Platform: PlayStation 5
  • Release Date: November 19

The launch of PlayStation 5 calls for a real superhero. Marvel's Spider-Man by Insomniac Games from 2018 is considered a prime example of what such a game must look like. On the next-gen console, the game will be re-released with an additional campaign around Miles Morales and expanded to include the features of PlayStation 5.

Demon's Souls Remake

  • Platform: PlayStation 5
  • Release Date: November 19

The second PS5 launch title in our list is not a new game either, but one that fans have been waiting for years. Meanwhile, everyone knows Dark Souls, but not its predecessor Demon's Souls. Fans of rock-hard role-playing games can look forward to an absolute gaming masterpiece, which will be even more fun in this remake thanks to improved technology.

Godfall

  • Platform: PlayStation 5, PC
  • Release Date: November 19

The final of our gaming highlights from November 2020 is Godfall, which will be released for the PC in addition to PlayStation 5. Whereby the PC version comes out on November 12.

Godfall is a cooperative "Loot-Slasher," which reminds us of Destiny with melee weapons. We slip into the skin of a warrior of the fallen order of knights and search for mysterious armor sets to stop the apocalypse. Sounds exciting, looks damn good, and could turn into a real surprise hit.
