Boo! The buildup begins for the endlessly spooky holiday of Halloween, but this October 2018 also provides some of the biggest game releases of the year. Incoming titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2 anticipates with its open-world gameplay, while Assassin’s Creed Odyssey innovates a choice-based formula, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 participates in the phenomenon of battle royale.

Continuing October’s hot streak are the roster-busting wrestler WWE 2K19, the sword-slashing clasher SoulCalibur VI, and the foreboding harbinger of horror Call of Cthulhu. Several hefty updates are also on the way to established titles, bringing a stealthy Heist to Marvel’s Spider-Man, a ‘Witcher’ spin-off story to Gwent, and Chinese warriors to the fight of For Honor.

Additionally on tap for October 2018 is the crisp racing of Forza Horizon 4, the mini-game gathering of Super Mario Party, the space-faring pilot adventure of Starlink: Battle for Atlas, as well as a vast myriad of others. A special mention also goes to Just Dance 2019 for releasing on Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii U, and the original Wii in this day and age.

Check out the full list of game releases for October 2018 below and let us know in the comments if you’ll embrace your blocky dark side in LEGO DC Super-Villains, praise the Switch in Dark Souls Remastered, or engage in multi-saber combat as General Grievous in Star Wars Battlefront II.
