The Witcher 3 Switch
15th October
Another legendary game is making its way to the Nintendo Switch soon, and we have to admit, we didn’t see this one coming. First DOOM, then Dark Souls Remastered, and now later this month you’ll be able to play The Witcher 3 on the go.
This isn’t just the base game either, the Complete Edition of The Witcher 3 is being ported over. Meaning, you’ll get both of the massive expansions and all the other DLC packs released for the game.
Look for The Witcher 3 in the CDKeys Store Soon
WWE 2K20
22nd October
Experience the rebirth of the WWE 2K franchise! WWE 2K20 features a huge roster of Superstars, NXT favourites, Legends and Hall of Famers in the most ambitious WWE game ever. WWE 2K20 is the real deal, authentic WWE experience that’ll get your heart pounding and your jaw-dropping. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
The Outer Worlds
25th October
Developer “Obsidian” is responsible for some of the most memorable RPGs of all time. The company was recently acquired by Microsoft Studios, and this combination looks like it will be incredible for gamers, especially those disappointed with Fallout 76.
You see, Obsidian was behind Fallout: New Vegas, the Fallout game that many fans feel is truest to the roots of the series. The Outer Worlds could prove to be the closest thing to the “Fallout 5” that many players were looking for.
In the recent Inside Xbox Livestream, senior narrative designer Megan Starks shared exciting new details on the upcoming spiritual successor to Fallout: New Vegas. As we had hoped, in The Outer Worlds you can play this first-person RPG entirely how you want; meaning you can make narrative-changing decisions with the wide variety of factions, voice lines, and gear at your disposal.
In addition, the plethora of voiced companions throughout the game will feature unique opinions, interactions, and even abilities (like a powerful dropkick). And finally, weird, “mad scientist” weapons have been confirmed for The Outer Worlds; like the hilariously fun shrink ray gun or the painful sounding “mandibular rearranger”.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare
25th October
Call of Duty will make its triumphant return this Autumn with a return to the franchise’s most celebrated sub-series. Publisher Activision and developer Infinity Ward are about to drop players into the mayhem of a violent conflict inspired by real-life events.
Prepare to experience gritty realism of combat in this reboot of the Modern Warfare sub-series that first began in 2007 (and was last seen in 2011 with MW3). The new Modern Warfare won’t be a direct sequel to the third title, but it features the same raw approach to the horrors of war. And, for the first time since COD: WWII, Modern Warfare will feature a single-player campaign.
Luigi’s Mansion 3
31st October
Who you gonna call? Luigi! What better way to celebrate Halloween than with a spooky adventure starring Mario’s trusty sidekick and brother.
