November 2019 Games: Here's what's new

#2 Pokemon Sword and Shield

Release Date: 15 November 2019

Available on: Nintendo Switch

The 8th generation of Pokemon is here at last. Pokemon Sword and Shield are the second set of games for the Nintendo Switch but the first of its generation on the console. It is Gamefreak's most ambitious Pokemon game yet, with a huge overworld, graphic upgrades and many more features we haven't even seen yet.

Pokemon Sword and Shield will feature Gigantamaxing, a new feature where your Pokemon become huge and powerful temporarily. You can also battle against wild Gigantamax Pokemon with 3 other players online, a feature which was not so casually available in previous games.

#1 Death Stranding

Release Date: 8 November 2019

Available on: PS4

The number uno spot for the most anticipated game in November goes to Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding. Kojima, the man behind games such as Metal Gear Solid and many famous titles from Konami, is releasing his first game since he disbanded with Konami 4 years ago in 2015.

Death Stranding features Walking Dead star Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, Guillermo Del Toro and many other famous faces. It is set in a dystopian America and it has an incredibly complex narrative. We are spoiler free for now but from the trailers and gameplay, it's hard to tell what the game is really about.

But with Hideo Kojima's reputation and the long development this game took, we can expect a surprise and a polished, adventurous game. Death Stranding will also be available for PC sometime in 2020.
