We all know what’s coming in November: the return of Metacritic’s best game of all time, and the long-awaited arrival of the newest criminal life simulator. I don’t have to report to anyone, even half-aware of video game news, that Grand Theft Auto VI and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are coming out in November. That said, our hype blinders have left us too focused on those two titles, overshadowing a few other exciting releases. So, let’s take a look at a few game releases for November 2026 that I’m excited to check out.

Warhammer Survivors – November 10th

What do you get when you cross Warhammer with the chaos of Vampire Survivors? Evidently, you literally get Warhammer Survivors. A really interesting lineage of Vampire Survivors-style remix games pulls elements from the title into other worlds or formats. I think this approach has a lot of potential, especially for this release. The game includes 40 iconic playable characters from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes, which doesn’t necessarily mean much to me, but I love the dedication to the IP.

Warhammer Survivors is out November 10th for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo consoles, and mobile.

Pikmin 4 Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy – November 12th

In the latest entry of the ongoing “Nintendo ports games to the Switch 2 and gives them exceedingly long names” series, we’re saying hello again to our tiniest friends.  Pikmin 4 Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy is the visually enhanced version of the hit game from 2023, with one major addition. Dandori Academy is an extensive series of stages for you to test your skill and earn in-game medals. Oddly enough, there will be 72 stages, but Nintendo said they’ll be released “over time.” What that means in terms of a schedule of releases, we’ll find out.

Pikmin 4 Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy releases November 12 exclusively for the Switch 2.

Reshine – November 26th

Picture this: the stress of a family holiday, in this case, Thanksgiving 2026, has pushed you to the edge. What’s the most relaxing way to decompress? My vote this year is Reshine, releasing on Thanksgiving, and following in the footsteps of meticulous games like Powerwash Simulator. Players take apart, clean, and revive long-forgotten objects in what may be the first cozy restoration game. The best part is each item takes you on a journey through history, all within the safe space of your own attic. It’s straightforward, calm, and far from the hectic, borderline torturous process of a day spent dancing around current events and who’s dating who in the extended family.

Reshine releases on November 26 for PC (via Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Anything else on your radar for November 2026 game releases? Let us know in the comments!
