Fights In Tight Spaces – December 2 (Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC)

 

In an era where espionage is handled largely by data-packets being pored over by teams of analysts, Section Eleven’s approach is more hands-on, dealing with the sorts of criminal organisations who live and operate outside the realms of electronic communication. When the rest of the intelligence services have failed, they call Section Eleven.

Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker – December 7 (PS4, PS5, PC)

Yet shadowed by their triumph in the First, the Warrior of Light and Scions of the Seventh Dawn are home at last.

SpellForce III Reforced – December 7 (PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC)(DELAYED UNTIL MARCH 2022)

SpellForce III Reforced is a unique mix of an epic RPG storyline blended with accessible real-time strategy elements, designed to offer a riveting console experience to fans and newcomers alike.

It is the year 518. The rebellion of the renegade mages, known as the Mage Wars, has been quashed by the Crown. However, it was a Pyrrhic victory: Whole regions have fallen into anarchy, refugees roam the lands in search of shelter, and a mysterious, deadly plague called the “Bloodburn” has arisen and is spreading rapidly.

In times like these people cling to any sign of hope they can find. The Purity of Light, led by a charismatic man called Rondar Lacaine, claims that mages are the source of all misfortune – and that only the second coming of Aonir, the father of all gods, will return Eo to its former splendor.

White Shadows – December 7 (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC)

White Shadows is a modern fable about escaping a dark, weird and violent world.

A long time has passed since The Great War. Humanity is half human, half animal. What remains of civilization lives in The White City, a vast network of towers rising high into a dark sky.

To protect against a deadly pandemic, those who can afford it try to keep themselves alive — by covering their skin in bright white light. But their safety is based on a lie, brutally exploited by the ruling wolves. To keep order. To keep themselves in power. But their grip on the world is starting to crumble. Something is coming.
