Stardew Valley 1.6
The 1.6 update has finally arrived, with far too much new content to possibly list here. Some of the changes include the option to start on the new Meadowlands Farm, which has a coop and two chickens, multiple pets, and new crops. New home renovations like a dining room, an attic and a cubby are also available. The visual and dialogue upgrades seem endless, and I can only encourage you to play for yourself to discover them all. Available on switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. With this update finally released, fans can turn their gaze towards to prospected release of ConcernedApe’s Haunted Chocolatier game coming soon…
Release Date: November 4th
Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Following in the footsteps of Nintendo games past, Mario and Luigi are once again out to save the kingdom. But rather than rescuing Peach, the bros are transported to the islands of Concordia. They’re on a quest to reunite this fractured archipelago and make it home to the Mushroom Kingdom. It’s the gameplay you know and love in better graphics for Nintendo switch.
Release Date: November 7th
Slitterhead
A body-swapping adventure game set in 80s Hong Kong, this supernatural mystery closes out horror season with some gruesome enemies. As Keiichiro Toyama’s (creator of Silent Hill and Gravity Rush) debut project with new company Bokeh Game Studio, fans can look forward to blind melee combat in swathes of fog and another unique storyline. Releasing on PS4, PS5, Windows PC and Xbox Series X/S, this stealth horror should definitely be on your radar.

Little Big Adventure: Twinsen’s Quest
A respectful remake of the 94’ classic, you follow OG protagonist Twinsen, a fugitive for his prophetic visions about the end of this alien world. You’re on the run from Scientist-gone-Dictator Dr FunFrock, on his own nefarious quest to destroy the goddess of the planet, Sendell. A galactic adventure with a blast of nostalgia, you can rejoin Twinsen on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox X/S and Nintendo Switch. Play this game if you want to make your older brother double take at a fun 90s hit reimagined.
Release Date: November 14th
MySims: Cosy Bundle
Another blast from the past, MySims is back and coming to Nintendo Switch. A cross between Animal Crossing and PC Sims games, you spawn in a run-down town looking to rebuild and attract new residents. The announcement doesn’t seem to have particularly updated the game content from the 2010s iterations, so fans are speculating that in competition with ever-evolving games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, it may fall a little flat. This is potentially down to developer attention being focused elsewhere, perhaps on the mysterious Project Rene addition to the Sims franchise, which promises multiplayer mechanics for PC and mobile…
Release Date: November 19th
Two Falls: Nishu Takuatshina
One of the most interesting new projects of 2024, you follow two unique protagonists: shipwrecked French girl Jeanne trying to survive her journey to New France, and indigenous Innu Hunter Maïkan investigating the mysterious disturbances in the forest… Set across the stunning backdrop of 17th century Canada, you alternate between protagonists making decisions Life is Strange style, which influence your character traits. The game explores different and underrepresented perspectives in this period, both metaphorically and literally, with Maïkan’s pov adding colour and familiarity to the landscape Jeanne experiences as bleak and scary. This project was developed in collaboration with indigenous minds from First Nations communities and seems like the fresh air that adventure games having been dying for. Play on PS5, Windows PCs and Xbox Series X/S.
Release Date: November 8th
Stray
Originally released in 2022, you play as a stray cat wandering a post-apocalyptic landscape populated by robots. You explore how they’ve evolved since the fall of humans, and discover dystopian cities as an unassuming feline companion. Two years later the game is finally coming to Switch, letting you max out those cosy vibes by playing from bed under your sunset lamp. The perfect gameplay for a lone night in when Soho Jes gets a little too much.
Release Date: November 19th
