[Danjin44]

Only these two games for me this month....

 

[The_hunter]

Physical copies of Cuphead and Death's Door are also coming out in December. I'm probably just getting Witcher 3 and Death's Door.

 

[jaysius]

Pretty shitty month AGAIN.

 

[kunonabi]

Calisto Protocol down the line maybe. On the one hand I want to support 3rd person horror games but on the other I hated dead space.

 

[Danjin44]

Calisto Protocol down the line maybe. On the one hand I want to support 3rd person horror games but on the other I hated dead space.

 

[graywolf323]

Crisis Core for sure and possibly Midnight Suns depending on reviews

 

[GymWolf]

Holy hell i wasn't aware that high on life was a december game.

Well callisto, evil west and high on life for me.

 

[Alpha Male]

Midnight Suns
Front Mission
Sports Story

 

[TintoConCasera]

Might get Callisto, it's been a while since I played a modern AAA (AAAA?) game and I loved Dead Space back then, so this one could be cool.

There's also this one coming out btw!


Can't wait to dive into it and start learning all it's systems.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Unless the reviews are abysmal, Callisto Protocol and The Walking Sead: Saints and Sinners 2 for me. One's a spiritual successor to one of my top series and the other is the sequel to me favorite VR game. Let's goooooo

 

[IbizaPocholo]

2022 is coming to a close, and while we’re all eagerly awaiting to see what 2023 has in store for us, let’s not forget that this year still has quite a few games before the sun sets completely. Whether you’re looking to get High on Life, or get blasted with nostalgia by Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, there’s going to be plenty to play. Here are all the biggest games releasing on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch in December 2022.

The release date for Marvel’s Midnight Suns has changed quite a few times, but the long-awaited strategy card game is finally hitting consoles and PC on December 2nd, but it doesn’t stop there. Releasing the same exact day is the latest, stylistic entry in the Need for Speed franchise, titled Need for Speed Unbound – but we’re still not done. Also on December 2nd, dive into the gory, spiritual successor to the Dead Space franchise in Striking Distance Studios' Callisto Protocol.

After the rush of early month games, you’ll get a short break (except for Choo-Choo Charles which looks to be the wildest game ever made), but it pick back up mid-month with the long-awaited Witcher 3 PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S release. And lastly, we’ll also see Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, the “more than a remaster” of PSP’s Crisis Core hit both PlayStation and Xbox on December 13th, alongside High on Life, which hits Game Pass on day one!

 

[Punished Miku]

Mercifully slow month for me. I'll play High on Life at some point. Looking forward to it. Comedy is pretty rare in gaming so it could be a nice change.

Calisto I will probably look at several months from now. Midnight Suns is something I'd get on a deep sale or never but I have faint interest in it. I dont need a PSP FFVII game. Played it when it came out and it wasn't that great but I'm not a huge fan of FFVII like most people. I'd get it on deep sale, which SQEX is good about doing.

Front Mission is a maybe for me, Nov 30th. But it can wait. Have plenty to play.

I got Walking Dead 1 for Quest but haven't gotten to it yet. If its as great as everyone says I'll be getting part 2 eventually.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Just Crisis Core remaster for me.

 

[amigastar]

Witcher 3, Callisto Protocol and Marvel's Midnight Suns for me.

 

[MikeM]

Witcher 3, Callisto and FFVII for me. Struggle is whether to go PC or trophy hunt with PS5.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Midnight Suns and Callisto Protocol already pre-ordered.
I will probably get Crisis Core FF7 as well, just don't know on which platfrom. Leaning towards Switch.

Then there's also Witcher 3. Very busy month for me.

 

[Fess]

I’ll just keep on playing Ragnarök and Elden Ring for now and will jump into nextgen patched The Witcher 3 eventually on PC. Slow month for me. That Tunic-like Aka game shown in the IGN video looks neat though.

 

[Fuz]

Hope Crisis Core is good.

 

[Bartski]

only Callisto Protocol. Stoked for next Friday!

Maybe Midnight suns if it reviews super well... maybe a demo? I'm a huge Xcom fan but I can't stand Marvel and nothing I have seen of the game convinces me.

 

[amigastar]

Yeah, that seems to be the case for many people, the universe it takes place in. I'm only interested in it because of Jake Solomon (the dev of new Xcom and Xcom 2)

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Fortunately, the review embargo lifts on November 30th.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

 

[Bonfires Down]

I won’t be buying anything at launch but Callisto and Crisis Core are the main events here.

I’m a huge XCOM fan but card based tactical combat is not great imo, I’ll wait for reviews.

Chained Echoes is a nice looking JRPG.

Don’t know too much about the other indie games but Kynseed, Blacktail and Cygnus Enterprises are on my wishlist.

Dwarf Fortress is coming to Steam on Dec 6 too.

 

[amigastar]

Fortunately, the review embargo lifts on November 30th.

Thats great to hear. I hope it will be good.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Thats great to hear. I hope it will be good.

Well at least the tactical part of the game should be good. Still not sure about the Abbey and social aspects but like you said, I believe in Jake Solomon and his passion for this project is infectious.

 

[adamsapple]

Calisto
Crisis Core
High on Life
NFS's 10 hr trial should be enough for me
Maybe Midnight Suns if it turns out to be good

 

[amigastar]

Well at least the tactical part of the game should be good. Still not sure about the Abbey and social aspects but like you said, I believe in Jake Solomon and his passion for this project is infectious.

Previews say it's 80 % tactical combat and 20 % Abbey and yeah Jake Solomon is awesome.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Nothing of interest for me. I'm very slowly savouring GOWR until February for the release of Hogwarts Legacy.

 

[ungalo]

Buying Callisto even if i'm not very hyped. And High On Life on Gamepass.

 

[Laptop1991]

Nothing really for me, the Witcher 3 upgrade is the only 1, i use to play the Need For Speeds years ago but after Most Wanted in 05 i stopped, but i just got the Ragnorak dlc for Valhalla so i'm ok for now and December.

 

[tusharngf]

Interested in nfs unbound only

 

[Captain Toad]

Calisto Protocol down the line maybe. On the one hand I want to support 3rd person horror games but on the other I hated dead space.

How the hell do you hate Dead Space?

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Still not sure what to ask Santa for? Well lucky for you this December is a little busier than normal, so we’ve got some great ideas for your wish list. Here are 10 of the biggest games coming out in December 2022.

The Callisto Protocol is a new original survival-horror game set on Callisto--a moon of Jupiter. More specifically, it's set in a prison called Black Iron located on Callisto in 2320, with protagonist Jacob Lee finding himself trapped as mutating humans begin taking over and murdering other inmates. If dead things in space sound familiar, that's because The Callisto Protocol is being developed by Dead Space co-creator Glen Schofield’s new company, Striking Distance Studios.

Marvel's Midnight Suns is the next game from developer Firaxis Games, the studio behind Civilization and the past three XCOM games. Though it has tactical strategy elements, Marvel's Midnight Suns is far from a superhero reskin of XCOM. Instead of set abilities, your heroes will each have a deck of ability cards that get shuffled together when you bring three of them into combat together. Those cards range from basic attacks to special skills, allowing you to buff other players or toss enemies around the battlefield. The cards can also be customized with variations to suit your playstyle.

Need for Speed has a number of games about street racing, but Need for Speed Unbound might just be one of the most distinct entries in the long-running series, thanks to its cel-shaded visuals that make it look like a high-speed anime series. In the story players will attempt to win The Grand, the ultimate street racing challenge in Lakeshore, collecting cars and using them as a canvas to show off their personal style on the streets.

[[Sigma]]

River City Girls 2 December 15 for NA/Europe.

 

[elmalloc]

What are the chances Sports Story doesn't actually come out in "December 2022"? Their website shows it was supposed to be launched in December 2020. I've been waiting for this game for a while.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Crisis core and protocol

 

[F31 Leopard]

I picked up Samurai Maiden. It came in the mail a couple of days ago.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Samurai maiden will be my next game, it depends if there is censorship I will go for the switch version, if it is intact it will be for ps5
