The Pc Game Releases We're Most Excited About In November

If Black Ops isn't your thing, there's a whole slew of early access games on the way.

November has arrived, which means duty is calling. This year's Call of Duty is Black Ops 7, and it might face a tough crowd as it's following two huge October shooter hits: Battlefield 6 and Arc Raiders.

There are also a couple exciting strategy games to consider this month—Europa Universalis 5 and Anno 117: Pax Romana—as well as RPGs worth paying attention to, including the long-awaited Demonschool, which jumped out of the way of Silksong to end up here, and narrative RPG Rue Valley, which might catch the eye of Disco Elysium fans.

Further down on this list, you'll find a hearty selection of new early access games, as well as some games that are leaving early access. If you've been watching extraction shooter Escape from Tarkov from the sidelines, this might be the month to finally try it out, as it's hitting 1.0 and launching on Steam.

Europa Universalis 5 (Steam) is "nothing less than an attempt at simulating the world for centuries with a fidelity beyond anything else in the genre," Jon wrote in our positive review.

Rue Valley (Steam) is a time-loop RPG that we called "one of the most interesting RPG prospects since Disco Elysium" last year.

Anno 117: Pax Romana (Steam) brings the long-running strategy series on the Roman Empire.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (Steam) is more of the same in some ways, but not entirely: We're particularly curious to see how the reduced skill-based matchmaking plays out.

Where Winds Meet (Steam) was announced with an ambitious pitch that made it sound both like wuxia Assassin's Creed and also an MMO where you can roleplay as a bodyguard or professional orator.

Demonschool (Steam) is a Persona-like RPG that's been on our radar for years now. It was going to release in September, but leapt out of the way of Silksong.
