Best Upcoming Games for Holiday Season 2022

2022 has so far been a blast for Videogames. We’ve seen great stuff coming out this summer and fall but with the Holiday season fast approaching, we can’t help but wonder if there are still great games to look forward to.

This Holiday Season is a perfect time to sit back and enjoy the exciting new games coming out the holiday season alongside a warm cup of Christmas eggnogs on a chill winter night(if ever you’re in a place that snows).

Some of these games are new additions to an already established franchise while some offer a new exciting experience. So without further ado, here are the top 10 games you should add to your games library this Holiday Season.

Top 10 Upcoming Games this Holiday Season

1. Goat Simulator 3

Yes, you read that right. The iconic Goat Simulator franchise has released their second edition of the Goat Simulator games, hilariously called Goat Simulator 3. And in case you’re wondering, yes they skipped 2.

Goat Simulator 3 is simple. It’s like the classic Goat Simulator game where you do everything a goat wouldn’t do( like blow stuff up) but every aspect has improved significantly. The graphics are gorgeous, there are much more features for players to do, and there’s an added four-player co-op mode.

Goat Simulator has never been as chaotic as it is now. The game releases on November 17th on Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, PS5, and PC

2. Spider-man Miles Morales

Spider-man is back, but not as the Peter Parker we all know and love. This time, the mantel has been given to Miles Morales, the red and black Spiderman but with swagger.

The game presents familiar elements from its predecessor, an amazing well-drafted storyline woven with great in-game mechanics like web-slinging. Despite the shorter game length, the game still does what it does best – make you feel like a badass swinging through new york but now added with Mile’s additional abilities.

The game releases on November 12th on Playstation 4 and Playstation 5. Spider fans, keep your eyes peeled.

3. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will release on November 18th on the Nintendo Switch. It’s the classic turn-based Pokemon battle system that we’re all familiar with but with a brand new region to explore.

A new region means new land to explore, a new roster of Pokemon to capture, new gyms and enemies, and so much more.

If you’re a solid fan of the Pokemon franchise, then getting this game this November should be an absolute no-brainer for you.

4. God of War: Ragnarok

The God-slaying badass Kratos is back, along with his son Atreus. Teenage Atreus and Kratos journey through the nine realms to prevent Ragnarok while discovering the truth behind Atreu’s identity as Loki. They must face the impending Ragnarok as father and son.

Gorgeous cinematic along with solid controls, the God of War franchise never fails to make players feel like a badass. God of war releases on November 9th for both Playstation 4 and Playstation 5.

5.Gungrave G.o.r.e

About to be released on November 22, 2022, Gungrave G.O.R.E is a stylish third-person action shooter by IGGYMOB. Players take on the role of Grave, a gunslinger, and anti-hero that takes down enemies by mowing their own with a hail of bullets.

The game is based on the Anime TV series of the same name. The anime tells the origin story and misadventures of the main character, Brandon Heat, along with his best friend.

The game revamps the previous shooter games with better shooting mechanics and graphics. Fans of mowing down enemies with bullets definitely need to try out this upcoming game.

6. Evil West

Evil West is a vampire-slaying third-person shooter developed by Flying Wild Hog and published by Focus Entertainment. What if a vampire threat met a savvy western gunslinger? Well, this game exactly answers that question.

Rise up to become the Wild West hero and eradicate the vampire threat in the United States in a badass, explosive style in the 18th century.

Evil west releases on November 22nd for Windows, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

7. Marvel’s Midnight suns

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is an upcoming tactical role-playing game that was developed by Firaxis Games. From the name on the title, you probably guess that it will feature Marvel’s iconic characters like Wolverine, Spiderman, Avengers, and more.

If you like seeing Marvel characters take on villains in a tactical RPG style then this game is exactly what you’re looking for.

The game releases on December 2nd for Windows PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Playstation 5 with other platforms like the Nintendo Switch coming at a later date.

8. High on life

High on Life is a fresh new comedic single-player first-person shooter by Squanch Games. It was made by Rick and Morty creator, Justin Roiland, which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this game.

The game blends the first-person RPG style of games like Fallout and mixes it with the signature existential humor Justin Roiland is famously known for. If you even remotely like his works, then you should definitely be lining up to play this game.

The game will release on December 13th for Xbox Series and consoles, and Windows PCs through both Steam and Epic games.

9. Blacktail

Blacktail is a gorgeous one-of-a-kind archery combat game set in a darkly magical story set in an exciting fairy tale world.

You can decide the fast of the land and witness the impact of your decisions and craft arrows, potions, and gather resources to survive in the woods. The game releases on December 15th on  PC, Playstation 5, and Xbox Series.

10. Vail VR

Vail VR is not just your ordinary VR game. It’s a team-based 5v5 VR shooter. The gameplay looks like a classic competitive team shooter – a classic formula that makes FPS players pour hours into it.
