Just Dance 2022 (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Switch, Stadia) - November 4

There's not a whole lot to say about Just Dance that hasn't already been said, but with Just Dance 2022, one thing that we can rely on is a list of chart-topping tracks that you can dance the night away with. Coming to PlayStation and Xbox consoles, Switch and Stadia, this iteration of the long-running series even comes with a free 1-month trial of Just Dance Unlimited to unlock access to a further 700+ songs to jam away on.

Call of Duty: Vanguard (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series) - November 5

Four years after the launch of Call of Duty: WWII, Sledgehammer Games is delivering its next instalment into the iconic shooter franchise. Call of Duty: Vanguard is once again set during World War II, except this time it follows individual heroes across the different fronts of the global conflict. With this action-packed campaign to look forward to, Vanguard is also seeing the return of the series' signature multiplayer experience, as well as a Zombies mode developed by Treyarch, and Warzone integration to make for an absolutely mega Call of Duty game.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons - 2.0 and Happy Home Paradise (Switch) - November 5

It's quite uncommon for us to chat about expansions or game updates in a GTLF, but what Nintendo is bringing to Animal Crossing: New Horizons in a few weeks is too exciting to miss. Marking the first major update to the game in months, November 5 will see the introduction of the free to download update 2.0, which adds a batch of new content and welcome improvements to the delightful simulation game, as well as the launch of the Happy Home Paradise expansion, a paid DLC that will task players with building a variety of custom vacation houses for doting guests.

Football Manager 2022 (PC) - November 9

Just as we've come to expect a new EA Sports football game each year, we can rely on the fact that Sega and Sports Interactive will deliver a new Football Manager annually. This year's iteration of the series, Football Manager 2022 is seeing the return of the iconic real-world analytical tools and mechanics to create a simulation experience with greater levels of control and depth than ever before.

Disney Classic Games Collection (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch) - November 9

A collection of classic Disney titles might have previously released two years ago containing Aladdin and The Lion King, but it has now been updated to contain yet another title. The Jungle Book has now been added and players have the option of playing through either the SNES or Sega Genesis version. The curiously absent SNES version of Aladdin has also been thrown into the mix to make for a more inclusive package overall.

Forza Horizon 5 (PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series) - November 9

Playground Games has become a titan in the racing games genre, a reputation garnered from four highly successful Forza Horizon games. But in a few weeks, Playground is delivering what seems to be the most advanced and impressive installation in the series to date, in Forza Horizon 5, a title that has been created from the ground up to utilise the full potential of the Xbox Series consoles to create a truly next-gen racing game.
