new releases

The gaming industry is headed into its yearly hibernation, as fewer and fewer titles trickle out before the end of the year. Despite the thin release schedule, there are some games to which you should pay attention.

If you’re into space combat, Elite Dangerous leaves beta and soars into final release. If it’s fighting games you’re after, Guilty Gear Xrd Sign (please don’t ask us how to pronounce it) arrives on PlayStation systems.

Here’s the full list:

Elite Dangerous (PC) - December 16
Guilty Gear Xrd Sign (PS4, PS3) - December 16
Loadout (PS4) - December 16
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD (Vita) - December 16
