Top 4 Best Xbox One Games to Have on Your Radar in November 2018

Best Xbox One Games to Have on Your Radar in October 2018

Spyro Reignited Trilogy

We’re in a period of nostalgia-driven remakes right now, and absolutely nobody is complaining. Following the remakes of Crash Bandicoot’s three original adventures initially last year on PS4, developer Toys for Bob is now putting the finishing touches to a remake of Spyro’s three first adventures for Xbox One and PS4.

Players will get Spyro the Dragon, Ripto’s Revenge, and Year of the Dragon, all lovingly remade with enhanced visuals and controls to feel right at home on the Xbox One. And personally, we’re just excited to play around with Year of the Dragon’s skateboarding minigame for hours on end at a time.

Whether you initially played all of these back on the original PlayStation all of those years ago, are looking for a kid-friendly game to keep youngsters occupied for hours, or just want to see what all the fuss over this purple dragon is all about, this should be at the top of your wishlist in November.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy is coming to Xbox One and PS4 on Nov. 13.

Fallout 76

Bethesda’s taking a bit of a risk with Fallout 76. In a series synonymous with single-player exploration, the developer and publisher are allowing players to step out of Vault 76 and rebuild civilization immediately after the bombs dropped with other players. That’s right, this is the very first foray into a shared world Fallout experience. However, this time, it’s you and other players who are going about establishing civilization, rather than being a latecomer to the party.

That means that crafting is a pretty huge part of the experience. With no NPCs to simply go and buy weapons from, you’ll be tasked with crafting your own stuff, finding recipes, and using your CAMP to carve out your own little home from home out in the West Virginia wasteland.

In addition, there are Challenges to earn Atoms which can be used to purchase cosmetic items and additional bits for your CAMP, as well as Events which task players with working together in order to complete objectives and earn rewards. Oh, and there’s also the promise that Mothman, the Snallygaster, the Wendigo, and plenty more will make an appearance in the game.

Many of the things fans love about the series can still be found in Fallout 76. Exploring out in the wilderness feels great, there are plenty of hidden secrets to find, and the map is pretty massive. We’re cautiously optimistic that Bethesda can deliver the goods, though be warned that the multiplayer focus might not be for everyone.

Fallout 76 is coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on Nov. 14.

Battlefield V

While Activision’s Call of Duty series continues its annual release schedule, EA’s DICE follows 2016’s Battlefield 1 with the latest numbered entry in the franchise, Battlefield V. That doesn’t mean we’re returning back to modern-era warfare, however. This time around, it’s time to explore the somewhat familiar-feeling territory of World War II.

While its multiplayer mode offering a plethora of different game modes for players to choose from, as well as a battle royale mode due to release at some point in 2019, fans will once again receive a single-player campaign. It’ll take on a similar fashion to that of Battlefield 1, retelling unique stories of soldiers from numerous different battles or events that took place around the world.

Arguably the most notable inclusion is Grand Operations, a multiplayer mode that spans multiple maps and tasks you with completing different objectives in order to reign victorious over the four in-game days. It’s similar to Call of Duty: WWII’s War mode, albeit on a slightly grander scale.

Battlefield V is coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on Nov. 20.

Hitman 2

IO Interactive struck gold with its reboot of the Hitman franchise back in 2016. Though its episodic format struck many as odd initially, it actually made sense in the grand scheme of things, allowing players to thoroughly explore the endless possibilities of each level before the next location dropped. However, in doing so, it broke up the story told throughout the game, leaving many fans eagerly awaiting the next chunk.

Alas, IO Interactive has dropped this format for Hitman 2, allowing players to play through the entire game and story at whatever pace they like. To ensure players have ample reason to return to each location in the new game, there will be live events and targets that need to be taken down in a multitude of different ways. Essentially, IO Interactive is trying to offer players the best of both the episodic, and full release formats, and we can’t wait to get busy assassinating with Agent 47 all over again.

Hitman 2 is releasing on Xbox One, PC, and PS4 on Nov. 13.
