On November 10th, “Vampire Survivors” will launch for Xbox platforms
Vampire Survivors has consistently ranked as the most popular game on Steam Deck because it’s so much fun. As tens of thousands of adversaries encroach the screen, your character automatically shoots weapons. In the heat of battle, all you have control over is how the character moves and what weapons and items they have equipped (there are persistent powerups you can unlock as well). It’s one of those games that you really have to play to appreciate, but it will soon be much simpler for more people to give it a try.
For November 10, Vampire Survivors will launch on Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X, and it will also be accessible through Xbox Game Pass. This will significantly lower the entry barrier even though it just costs $5.
It’s not a great surprise that Microsoft is adding one of the biggest breakthrough hits of this year to Xbox Game Pass. PC Game Pass subscribers already have access to Vampire Survivors.
it's trueee! 😲 👏

Return to Monkey Island will also be available this month on Xbox platforms and Game Pass. In September, the adventure series’ rebirth debuted on PC and Switch. On November 8th, it will be accessible via Xbox, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
On the same day, the console version of Football Manager 2023 will be released on PC, consoles, and the cloud. The game’s complete PC version will also be available on Game Pass at that time. On the other hand, on November 8th, Football Manager 2022 and Football Manager 2022 Xbox Edition will be removed from Game Pass.
Members of Game Pass have a lot more to look forward to this month. On November 3rd, a 2D metroidvania game called Ghost Song will be released for the cloud, consoles, and PC. In it, you explore a far-off moon. On November 15, Obsidian’s Pentiment, one of the last first-party Xbox exclusives for this year, will be released on all three systems. On the same day, Somerville, from a studio Dino Patti, executive producer of Inside and Limbo, cofounded, will make its premiere.
The whole seasons of The Walking Dead: A New Frontier and The Walking Dead: Michonne are currently available on PC Game Pass. The Legend of Tianding, a side-scrolling beat’em-up, has recently arrived on PC, Xbox, and the cloud.
On November 8th, the winter update for Halo Infinite will be released. Along with new maps, a brand-new game mode, and (at long last) a mechanism to gain experience points solely by playing multiplayer games, it will finally add online campaign co-op and Forge mode to the game. Microsoft Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary Edition will be a free update starting on November 11. The additions include an actual airplane, gliders, and helicopters.

Ubisoft says that future Assassin’s Creed games will need more time to be made
As Assassin’s Creed Shadows is about to sneak up on people in November, Ubisoft says that the time between developing games needs to be longer to find the “right balance.” Shadows has been in development for four years, longer than any other game in the series up to this point. That includes the huge open-world epics Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Shadows lead producer Karl Onnée (thanks, GamesIndustry.biz) says that the latest AC game took 25% longer to make than Valhalla. He says this is necessary to keep the quality of the series that it is known for: “It’s always a balance between time and costs, but the more time you have, the more you can iterate.” You can speed up a project by adding more people to it, but that doesn’t give you more time to make changes.
Onnée says this has as much to do with immersion and aesthetics as it does with fixing bugs and smoothing out pixels. This is because the development team needs time to learn about each new historical setting: “We are trying to make a game that is as real as possible.” We’re proud of it, and the process took a long time. In feudal Japan, building a house is very different from building a house in France or England in the Middle Ages. As an artist, you need to learn where to put things in a feudal Japanese home. For example, food might not belong there. Get all the information you need and learn it. That process takes a long time.”
You’ll have to wait a little longer for Ubisoft to work on each game. Are you okay with that? In what part of Shadows are you now? Is it interesting to you? Leave a comment below and let us know.

You can now pre-order Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP on PS5
You can now pre-order Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, a remaster that Dragami Games and Capcom both created. You can now pre-order the PS5 game on the PS Store for $44.99 or £39.99. If you have PS Plus, you can get an extra 10% off the price.
The company put out a new trailer with about three minutes of gameplay to mark the start of the pre-order period. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a remaster of Grasshopper Manufacture’s crazy action game from 2012. You play as Juliet, a high school student who fights off waves of zombies.
The remaster adds RePOP mode, an alternative mode that swaps out the blood and gore for fun visual effects. It also adds a bunch of other features and improvements that make the game better overall. You can expect the graphics and sound to be better as well.
The game will now come out on September 12, 2024, instead of September 12, 2024. Are you excited to get back to this? Please cheer us on in the section below.

This Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 zombies trailer is way too expensive
Is there really anyone who is following the story of Call of Duty’s zombie mode? We’ve known about the story in a vague way for a while, but we couldn’t tell you anything about it. It looks like the “Dark Aether” story will continue in Black Ops 6, but we don’t really know what that means.
For those of you who care, here is the official blurb with some background: “Requiem, led by the CIA, finally closed the last-dimensional portal, sending its inhabitants back to the nightmare world known as the Dark Aether, after two years of fighting zombie outbreaks around the world during the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War timeline.”
Wait, there’s more! “Agent Samantha Maxis gave her life to seal this weird dimension from the inside out.” Even worse things were to come: senior staff members of Requiem were arrested without a reason by the Project Director, who turned out to be Edward Richtofen.
Black Ops 6 will take place about five years later, and it looks like it will show more about Richtofen’s goals and motivations. The most important thing is that you will probably be shooting an unimaginable number of zombies in the head. This week, on August 8, there will be a full reveal of the gameplay, so keep an eye out for that.
