We’re certainly in the thick of the release schedule now, aren’t we?

While October may not be as full as it once was with Rainbow 6: Siege repelling out and down into December, there’s still a ton of new games to keep an eye on. If for some reason you’re looking for something new to play (especially after the jam packed September release schedule) then October has you covered. I hope you’ve been saving because it only gets busier from here.

Microsoft is betting big this month as the highly anticipated Halo 5: Guardians finally launches for Xbox One owners. It’s been a long wait but fans will finally get to live out the confrontation between Master Chief and Agent Locke. North American WiiU owners finally catch up to the rest of the world as the gorgeously cute looking Yoshi’s Woolly World arrives. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate rounds out the month and looks to restore the franchise back to greatness with new protagonists, a new setting, and a new development studio heading up the game.

Again, there’s something for everyone this month, regardless of the console you own. Actually, there’s a massive pile of games this month. Trust me.
