Biggest new game releases of November 2026

Eight dated launches, official storefronts or first-party posts only. GTA 6 is Nov 19 on Rockstar’s site. Zelda and Pikmin are Nintendo eShop days. Stellar Blade’s clock is a timezone split, not two street dates.

This is a dated list, not a rumor board. The eight games below are the ones a first-party store page, a publisher site, or a Blizzard staff post actually pin to a November 2026 day. Aggregator calendars that add extra titles without an official weekday stay off this page. Where two official clocks disagree, we print both instead of picking a winner. No shopping links.

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered — November 3

Tuesday on PC, per Steam. The store page prints “Nov 3, 2026,” credits Pipeworks Studios and Atari, and calls it a remaster of the 2002 kaiju arena brawler: 12 monsters, eight locations, local and new online multiplayer. Steam is the page this desk checked. Console SKUs circulating on third-party calendars are not on that listing, so they stay off this one.

World of Warcraft: Forever — November 4, 3:00 p.m. PST

Wednesday, one global open. Blizzard Entertainment’s official forum post is the clock: “launching worldwide November 4 at 3:00 pm PST.” That is a single moment, not a rolling region launch. After the US fall-back, 3:00 p.m. PST is 6:00 p.m. EST and 11:00 p.m. GMT the same Wednesday; Central Europe reads Thursday, November 5, at midnight. Those later local dates are the offset, not a second street date on Blizzard’s card. The post frames Forever as a permanent home alongside modern and Classic WoW, level cap 60, original continents. PC. Access details beyond that post stay off this list.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time — November 5

Thursday, Nintendo Switch 2 only. Nintendo’s US eShop page says “Releases 11/5/26” and, lower down, “Release date November 5, 2026.” Official store copy: built from the ground up for Switch 2, overhauled visuals, orchestral music, voice acting, expanded cutscenes, modern camera, and ocarina input by buttons or by humming / playing into the system microphone. Exclusive to Switch 2. That is first-party store text, not a preview.

Stellar Blade Complete Edition — November 5 (PST) / November 6, 00:00 KST

Nintendo UK’s Switch 2 product page prints “Release date: 05/11/2026.” Nintendo Australia prints “5/11/2026.” Shift Up’s dated announcement, as quoted by RPG Site, is a simultaneous worldwide unlock: “6 November 2026 at 00:00 KST/JST (5 November, 07:00 PST / 15:00 GMT).” Those are one instant written two ways, not two street dates. Switch 2. Complete Edition, per those pages, folds in the already-shipped NieR:Automata and NIKKE collaboration material. This desk did not independently confirm a US dollar price from a live US eShop listing, so no price on this page.

Football Manager 27 — November 10

Monday on PC and Mac. Steam’s official store page prints “Coming Nov 10, 2026” and “FM27 launches on 10th November.” Sports Interactive’s own FM27 site is the Launch Preview clock: free to play on Steam, Epic, the Microsoft Store, and PC Game Pass “until 6pm (GMT) on 3 November.” After that cutoff, the same page points pre-purchasers at those storefronts. Steam also prints “Launch Preview early play from 3rd November” for pre-purchase. Console, Netflix mobile, and a dollar price are circulating on secondary writeups; they are not on the two official pages this desk checked, so they stay off this list.

Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy — November 12

Thursday, Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo’s US upgrade-pack listing says “Releases 11/12/26” and “Release date November 12, 2026.” Official store copy on that page: improved Switch 2 visuals, voice commands for Oatchi through the system microphone, Dandori Academy exams (72 stages “released over time”), and Dandori Battles via GameShare or GameChat even if the other player does not own the game. Existing Switch owners buy the upgrade pack; the full edition is a separate SKU. Nintendo’s September Direct recap also printed Nov. 12. No dollar figure on the listing we checked.

Metaphor: ReFantazio — November 12

Same Thursday, Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo’s US eShop page says “Releases 11/12/26.” Publisher copy on that page: the 2024 ATLUS RPG, “AWAKENED” on Switch 2, with a printed Metascore of 94 and The Game Awards 2024 Best RPG line. Pre-order consumable packs on that listing cut off November 11, 2026 at 8:59 p.m. PT. The game is already out on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC; this is the Nintendo pass. ATLUS West’s September 23 post matches November 12. No US price on the page we scraped.

Grand Theft Auto VI — November 19

Thursday. Rockstar’s official GTA VI page still prints “Coming November 19, 2026” over PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC line on that page. The Edge visit and the UK union-vote window already sit on this desk from last week; this row is the date Rockstar is still putting on its own site, not a reprint of those briefs. PC remains unannounced.
