Falling leaves, ripening fruit, new wine – fall has its share of marvels to make one crave for it. For video gamers, fall means fresh video game releases and many new real money online casino games they can spend time with during the coldest time of the year, while they are confined to their rooms by the weather. This year, in turn, comes with more than just fresh video games to play – it has some news on the hardware front that will gladden Xbox fans in special.
Xbox One X
Four years after the release of Xbox One (and months after Sony), Microsoft finally updates its gaming console with fresh hardware, making it more capable to run high-definition content than any of its predecessors. The new console can already be pre-ordered at Microsoft for the price of $499, and it will come with a series of welcome upgrades to the Xbox gaming experience.
Xbox One X will be an impressive piece of hardware, with a custom-built Scorpio chip, 12GB of GDDR5, capable of running 4K games, and support for DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. And it will be released alongside an impressive series of 4K exclusive titles, like Forza Motorsport 7, State of Decay 2, and Crackdown 3.
Release: November 7th
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Machine Games’ epic and cinematic adventure featuring everyone’s favorite Nazi hunter William John “B. J.” Blazkowitz returns this October with more Nazis to kill, more supernatural and mechanical monsters to defeat, and a New American Revolution to be started. The game, set one year after the events of 2014’s “Wolfenstein: The New Order”, will take its players to the 1960s America overrun by Nazis, where our hero has to aid the Resistance to take a stand against the invaders.
Judging by the material published online, the game will be even more impressive than its predecessors.
Release: October 27 (next year for Nintendo Switch)
Other notable game releases for October 2017: Assassins Creed Originals, Age of Empires: Definitive Edition, Super Mario Odyssey (Switch).
Call of Duty: WWII
This year, the Call of Duty franchise returns to its origins – to World War II. In the first WWII game released since 2008, the upcoming Call of Duty game takes us into the war-ridden Europe, across the Nazi-occupied France and Belgium and in the heart of Germany alongside a 12-man squad of soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division. A welcome change for many after so many futuristic conflicts.
The game will feature a “Zombies” storyline, too, involving magic, necromancy, and mad scientists, too.
Release: November 3.
