All the Best New Games for Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and...

This is the last installment of new releases before Halloween, which means it’s time to get scary as we watch the biggest games of the week. If you like traditional horror, check out The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope. Meanwhile, Watch Dogs: Legion offers a dystopian version of near-future London. You can go further into the future with Ghostrunner or go back to the 80s with Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues. Nintendo Switch owners can finally get their hands on Pikmin 3 Deluxe.

Ghostrunner – October 27th

Available for: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch

Ghostrunner is in a post-apocalyptic future where you must climb the ever-changing Dharma Tower. It’s a first-person game, so you’re all in the face of your enemies as you run along walls, dodging bullets and slicing bad guys with your cyber katana. The game will also run on PS5 and Series X / S, so you can request a free next-gen upgrade when you pick it up this week.

Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues – October 27th

Available for: PS4, Xbox One, Switch

Based on the current Cobra Kai Netflix series, this beat-up game lets you team up with either Daniel-san or Johnny Lawrence. Whichever side you choose, you can still explore LA, level up, and play as a whole team of karate champions. There are almost 30 missions to complete, all of which are based on the modern show.

Watchdogs: Legion – October 29th

Available for: PS4, Xbox One, Switch

Legion is set in a dystopian, near-future London where the military company has taken over Albion. Fortunately, your DedSec agents are ready to take back the city and you can recruit any character in the game to your cause. With a full resistance army by your side, whether you choose stealth or blazing weapons, you can conduct open world missions as you see fit. The current generation version is out this week, but the next generation version will indeed be an Xbox Series X / S launch title.
