The November PC game releases and events you should know about

Warhammer, Warcraft, and Warzone will go to war this Novembwar. I mean Warvember. Sorry, Warvembwar.

It’s November, also known as “the monthStarfieldwas going to release.” By delaying its big new space RPG to early next year, Bethesda will let Starfield’s original 11/11/22 release date—exactly 11 years after Skyrim’s 11/11/11 release date—go by like just another day. What a tragedy: a novelty release date wasted!

I guess the bigger reason to be disappointed is that there’s no big Bethesda RPG out this month, but Starfield’s absence means we can devote more attention to the games thatarecoming out in November. If I were to do a poll, I’m certain thatWarhammer 40,000: Darktidewould be the PC Gamer team’s most anticipated game still to come in 2022. Other November releases to look forward to: the next big WoW expansion, Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, Obsidian’s Pentiment, a new Dark Pictures horror game, and Tactics Ogre: Reborn.

Scroll down for an overview of November’s big PC game release dates and events, and head to our full2022 gamesrelease calendar to see what’s coming in December.

November’s biggest PC game releases

Sonic Frontiers| November 8Sonic goes open world for the first time. (Translation for people who were playing PC games in the ’90s instead of Sega games: It’s likeTribes 2, but you’re a hedgehog who runs instead of skis.)

Warzone 2.0| November 16Call of Duty’s free-to-play battle royale spin-off is getting a big post-Modern Warfare 2 refresh, which will include its take on the extraction modes of games like Escape from Tarkov and Hunt: Showdown withWarzone 2 DMZ.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales| November 18Insomniac’s Spider-Man made it to PC in August, and this spin-off is following hot on its heels. The PC port will support ray tracing, ultra-wide monitors, and Nvidia’s DLSS technology. Expect more ridonkulousSpider-Man modstoo.

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight| November 28The next big WoW expansion adds dragonriding and a new race. You guessed it: the race is dragons. Technically, they’re Dracthyr Evokers, which are both a race and a class. (They must be doing quantum theorycrafting at Blizzard.)

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide| November 30The co-op survival of Vermintide with a greater focus on ranged weapons. Darktide was scheduled to release in 2021, but was delayed a year. It’s probably the PC Gamer team’s most anticipated game left to come out in 2022. Check out some gameplay below.
