Next month, the holiday season will be in full swing, and there are many November 2023 games to look out for. From a classic returning to a new Call of Duty approaching physical and digital stores, you better prepare your wallet.
After a busy September and October, I wonder if we’ll get a chance to check out any of these titles. Nevertheless, here are all of the most anticipated November 2023 games.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023) – PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Sledgehammer Games, Treyarch, Infinity Ward, Beenox, Raven Software, High Moon Studios, Demonware
Price: $69.99
Release Date: November 10
Trailer
Likely the last game in the series solely under Activision, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 lets us play as Captain Price and the rest of Task Force 141 seeking Vladimir Makarov. All of the maps from 2009’s Modern Warfare 2 have been modernized for this game, and there are some new maps to explore as well. There are 12 6v6 maps to tackle too.
Hopefully, with so many developers behind the game’s belt, we’ll have a unique vision behind this installment. There should be some standout maps that land like Call of Duty Black Ops‘ Nuketown and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2‘s Terminal with so much talent behind this title.
The zombies mode lets you team up with other squads for the first time. The Steam listing says the game will have the “largest Call of Duty zombies map ever.” We’ll see if bigger means better when the game releases on November 10.
Persona 5 Tactica – PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Switch, PC
Publisher: Atlus
Developer: P-Studio
Price: $59.99
Release Date: November 16
Trailer
The Persona 5 spinoffs continue, and this time it’s a strategy RPG with an all-new storyline in the series. There’s also a strange new ally called Erina who helps you take down the Legionnaires. In this new realm, you must learn the strategy RPG mechanics of the game and survive.
It would be cool if Persona 5 Tactica reaches the incredible heights of the strategy-RPG Fire Emblem: Three Houses. That Nintendo game has an impactful story, engaging game design, and loveable characters. We’ve known the Phantom Thieves for a very long time, so it will be interesting to see how they grow.
This new take on the series might be daunting, but if you’re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you can check this game out at no extra cost on day one of its release. I can’t wait to “Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There” for one of the most anticipated November 2023 games.
Star Ocean: The Second Story R – PS4, PS5, PC, Switch
Publisher: Square Enix
Developer: Square Enix and Gemdrops
Price: $49.99
Release Date: November 2
Trailer
Square Enix continues to blend stunning 2D pixel art into colorful 3D environments in this remaster of Star Ocean: The Second Story R. The 2.5D aesthetic from past games like Octopath Traveler 2 is back in Star Ocean: The Second Story R. Only this time, it’s in an action-RPG format.
The visuals look pretty. You’ll see the pixel art lit up in some stunning lighting, and there are unique settings they’ll explore. The story’s intriguing as there are two protagonists. Depending on who you choose, the story and party members will change. There’s also a relationship system and various endings to find.
If you want to find out more, there’s a demo you can try out now on PC, PS4, PS5, and Switch.
Super Mario RPG – Switch
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo
Price: $59.99
Release Date: November 17
Trailer
A Super Mario RPG remake is finally on the way for the Nintendo Switch. It will feature long-beloved characters like Geno and Mallow in the game as we’re reunited with this classic RPG.
The visuals truly pop on screen. It brings that classic look but revitalizes it for a 2023 audience. There are also spectacular Triple Moves that have all three members of the team working together in one attack. The turn-based combat returns in full force, but the game will need you to land the hits with your button presses. It will be a “Happy Adventure, Delightful Adventure” indeed.
It will feature newly remastered music by the game’s original composer Yoko Shimomura. However, you can switch back to the old version of the soundtrack at any time.
The game also lets you battle the bosses once more with a much harder difficulty. I can’t wait to “Beware the Forest’s Mushrooms” and play this cherished RPG for the first time!
WarioWare: Move It! – Switch
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Intelligent Systems
Price: $49.99
Release Date: November 3
Trailer
One of the most memorable Wii games, at least for me, is WarioWare: Smooth Moves, and Move It feels like it is a successor to that. With the motion controls of the Joy-con, we’ll be following 200 whacky mini-games that last a matter of seconds. You’ll have to complete a chain of them to be successful. Of course, you’ll be going through motions like wiggling out of rope and shaking a dog’s hand.
The IR sensor, which tracks your hand movements for a few mini-games, is also present. It will show your hand on-screen, and you’ll have to point out a certain number of fingers to succeed.
These mini-games, including a reference to Super Mario 64‘s iconic slide level, seem thrilling to play and will keep us on our toes. There’s also going to be two-player co-op and a four-player Party Mode. It’s one of the most anticipated November 2023 games just from how entertaining and wild the game looks.
