All the Biggest Video Game Releases in October 2019

October is often seen as the beginning of the launch window for AAA video games. After a quiet few months during the summer period, publishers get set to release their biggest titles of the year. The run-up to the holidays means that it is a lucrative season. Consumers are willing to spend the most money on new titles as they buy new hardware or hunt for gifts.

However, it can be a little overwhelming to keep up-to-date with every single game release, especially when there are so many great examples. For that reason, we’ve run down a list of the most important games released in October and where to buy them.

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep

Although it is not technically a new game, Destiny 2: Shadowkeep does mark a significant shift for Bungie’s looter shooter. This is the first piece of content they have developed since parting ways with Activision. As such, it gives players a good indication of what the future of the series could be.

Destiny 2 includes a whole host of gameplay changes as well as new locations to explore. Most importantly, it comes with a completely new story arc to keep the narrative fresh and interesting. For those who haven’t tried Destiny 2 yet, the developer also released a free version called New Light that provides strikes, multiplayer PvP, and story content at no cost.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint

Ghost Recon Breakpoint sees players returning to Ubisoft’s latest incarnation of the franchise. Following on from Ghost Recon Wildlands, this new game has a much bigger world and a stronger focus on survival.

Players have to contend with enemies who are just as strong as them and have access to the same type of equipment. There’s a lengthy campaign that can be played in co-op as well as competitive multiplayer. Additionally, players can choose between four different classes.
