November is jam-packed with games, and this episode of New Releases is the most stacked one yet. There are big-name sequels like Hitman 2, reimagined classics like Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee, and a different approach to a beloved series with Fallout 76. Fans of retro platformers can fly again with Spyro Reignited Trilogy, while old-school PC players can see sink into Underworld Ascendant.
Hitman 2 — November 13
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC
Unlike 2016’s reboot, this sequel isn’t episodic. Instead, you’ll be able to carry out assassinations in both Miami and an American suburb, Colombia, New Zealand, Mumbai, and the Isle of Sgail right from the start. Hitman 2 also pits you against a fellow killer in the new competitive Ghost Mode.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy — November 13
Available on: PS4, Xbox One
The purple dragon is getting his own remaster, a la 2017’s Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. The three games here are Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon, all with totally remastered graphics. Stewart Copeland, drummer for The Police and composer of the original soundtrack, also returned to create a new main theme for the collection.

Fallout 76 — November 14
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC
Fallout 76 takes the series’ trademark RPG gameplay to new places–and not just because it’s set in an irradiated West Virginia. This game trades NPCs and Raiders for a totally online experience: band together, build a base, raid other player camps, complete side quests, and even launch nukes. Expect plenty of weird quests and mutated monsters too.

Underworld Ascendant — November 15
Available on: PC
When the minds behind Ultima Underworld, System Shock, and Thief come together for a hardcore RPG, people pay attention. This successful Kickstarter game drops you into the Stygian Abyss, where you can explore, solve puzzles, and interact with factions in any way you see fit. But beware: your choices always have consequences.

Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu! / Let’s Go Eevee! — November 16
Available on: Switch
This pair of Pokemon games is a reimagining of the classic Pokemon Yellow, and they seem perfect for first-time trainers. You won’t battle Pokemon in the wild; instead, you’ll catch them Pokemon Go-style to earn experience. You can also play the entire game with drop-in/drop-out co-op, in which the second player will control an extra Pokemon during standard battles.
