Talking Time curates November games: What are you anticipating? What's worth checking out?

Make a list of your interests and/or possibles!

Don't know what's so great about an upcoming game you keep hearing about?

Don't follow gaming news that closely and just want to passively see what BigGames™ people care about?
This is the place!

Thread concept:
The basic idea is to list new games that you are interested in, as well as games you are potentially curious about or want to give wider attention to. You can briefly describe them or ask other people to help fill you in. The hope is that regular threads like these can act as a collective filter/discovery mechanism to help people decide what is worth checking out.

"New games" means any new title that is being released or ported this month in any capacity (not "backlogs/what you are playing this month"). The angle here is sharing your anticipation and promoting game discovery (as opposed to sharing comments about a first playthrough in progress - that belongs elsewhere).

• If you want a handy list that covers most of the major upcoming games of the month, here's a few text lists of upcoming games:
  • Giant Bomb
  • Game Informer
  • Wikipedia
  
  Feel free to post other lists or list videos that you find useful.
  
  
• Final request: If you are the first person to mention a game please provide (at minimum) a short sentence description. (If it is a very big AAA release though, then don't worry about it.) This is a good convention that makes the thread more useful as a discovery mechanism, and especially helps out anyone who doesn't follow the news as closely as you.

On the 20th, Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, that link goes to the thread. I've downloaded the eShop demo but still haven't played it.

Age of Calamity is the whole of my interest for the month at the moment, but it's also coming out in late November, which means it's under the aegis of Santa Law.

Got two games on pre-order for this month, the aforementioned Age of Calamity, and Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, which I'll pop a trailer in here for:

The Switch rev isn't as pretty as the PS4 version, but I feel it's doing a pretty damn good job myself.

Oh, also theoretically the Animal Crossing Amiibo reprints are November but I haven't heard anything concrete about those.

The video game Like A Dragon: Yakuza, colloquially known as Yakuza 7, is poised to be my first game in the Yakuza series. With this game, the series switches to a new protagonist and replaces the traditional brawler-like combat system with a turn-based RPG one, making it a soft reboot that makes me feel comfortable joining a recently popular series so late.

I'll be looking into renting the neighbor's house so I have a spot to place chonky boi.

On a serious note, looking forward to digging into Demon's Souls since I missed the original. I also picked up Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which looks good enough, although I'm skeptical Lady Eivor could ever hold a candle to Kassandra.

Thanks for the Sakuna mention. I've had it on my watchlist for a bit but I had no idea it was out this month.

PS5!
PS5!
PS5!

I had been saving for a while for a PS Pro when the PS5 announcement dropped, so waiting to get a PS5 was a no-brainer. Looking forward to more decent loading times in my PS4 backlog. That and the Miles Morales sequelxpansion to Spider-Man should keep me busy for the rest of the year, as December looks like a barren wasteland for me.

I'm also interested in Age of Calamity as Hyrule Warriors was mindless fun, but I'm worried the story might end up feeling like overcomplicated fanservicey fanfic to BoW, so. I'll wait on the verdict for that before I decide to add it to The List.
