Most Anticipated Game of October-November 2026

The last quarter of 2026 is one of the busiest stretches of the release calendar. Through October, action, racing, horror and war games arrive on PC and consoles one after another, and in November Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto VI is due on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This poll puts eight standout October and November games in one list with their release dates.

Release calendar

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve launches on October 2, Gears of War: E-Day and Star Wars: Galactic Racer on October 6, Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival on October 8, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse (developed by Evil Empire under license from Konami) on October 15, and Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 on October 23. S-Game's action title Phantom Blade Zero was first announced for September 9 and then moved to October 29, 2026; in some regions the store time may show October 28. Gears of War: E-Day is included in Xbox Game Pass from day one.

How the list was built

Games were included when their date matched on a Wikipedia page and a Turkish gaming news site and had an official release day on PC or console. Mobile-only releases and new platform versions of older games were left out. Platforms are shown in each description; no PC version of GTA VI has been announced at this time. Publishers can change release dates.
