Best Xbox One Games to Have on Your Radar in October 2018
SoulCalibur VI
It’s been too damn long since we got a SoulCalibur game, but it seems as though Bandai Namco agreed. SoulCalibur VI is set to hit the Xbox One on Oct. 19, bringing back fan-favorite characters like Siegfried and Nightmare for another bout of weapon-based battles. That’s not all, though, with The Witcher series’ Geralt of Rivia being the headline guest appearance to the roster in this entry.
That’s not all that’s new, though. SoulCalibur VI will, of course, look considerably better than its most recent predecessor — which was back in 2012 — but will also introduce a new mechanic. Reversal Edge will enable players to defend themselves from an incoming attack, before quickly countering with their own attack. The whole thing plays out in an aptly-satisfying slow-mo effect, too. What’s not to like?

Red Dead Redemption 2
Did you really think we’d write up a list of the best Xbox One games to have on your radar in October 2018 and not include Red Dead Redemption 2? Rockstar Games’ upcoming title is arguably the most anticipated title of the year. Acting as a prequel to the story of its predecessor, the game takes place in the aftermath of a Van der Linde gang heist gone wrong. You’re Arthur Morgan, a member of the gang who must now work with his fellow members to avoid the law enforcement and bounty hunters now after them. We’ve seen gameplay trailers of trains being blown up, some sort of bank heist, and a whole lot more. Basically, be prepared for a whole lot of action and explosive set-pieces.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is shaping up to be far more detailed and comprehensive than any other open world title to come before it. You’ll need to manage the amount of food you eat, what kind of food you eat, whether you shave, bathe, change your clothes, what you call your horse. You get the idea. Pretty much anything you have to think about in real life, you have to think about in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Wrap all of that up in some of the prettiest visuals we’ve seen so far this generation, and add in the fact you’ll get access to the Red Dead Online beta kicking off in November for just picking up the title, and you’ve got hundreds of hours of content on a single disc. If Red Dead Redemption 2 wasn’t on your radar for October 2018 already, it absolutely should be now.
