6 New Games You Need to Know About in November 2024

The 2024 gaming year is heading into the tail-end of things, with two simulators to ease you into the holiday period, along with some horrifying adventures for those who like a little bit of tension with their downtime. Here are the games to check out in November 2024:

Slitterhead

Release date: 8 November 2024 (Xbox Series X/S | PS5 | PS4 | PC)

Coming from the guy behind the Silent Hill and Gravity Rush franchises, Slitterhead is a bizarre yet intriguing new action-horror game, bringing a spin on combat where you have to possess different individuals in order to fight grotesque monsters in 1990s Hong Kong. It’s described as a game that even non-horror fans will enjoy, and is full of intense melee combat full of parrying and dodging, so it should be an interesting experience.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

Release date: 8 November 2024 (Xbox Series X/S | PS5 | PC)

Dead Rising, often referred to as the OG of the open-world zombie-survival genre, is getting a new lease of life in the form of the Deluxe Remaster, bringing a host of new features to the resurrected release, including a full graphical overhaul, new voice acting, auto-save support, and various other quality-of-life features. It is hitting South Africa on 8 November, so you can purchase your Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster copy here on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S.

Farming Simulator 25

Release date: 12 November 2024 (Xbox Series X/S | PS5 | PC)

Lego Horizon Adventures

Release date: 14 November 2024 (PS5 | Switch | PC)

In probably the weirdest gaming crossover of the year, Lego Horizon Adventures releases this November, delivering a new adventure in the Horizon: Zero Dawn universe, albeit in the block-smashing, collect-a-thon format popularised by other Lego games. Admittedly, it looks pretty fun, and you can play through the game in co-op or solo.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Team up with (or fight) factions, interact with other survivors, and take on the monstrosities that await in the radiated zone of Chornobyl.
