Get the lowdown on all the games coming out in December! Cyberpunk 2077, Twin Mirror, and more in a big capper to the year!
Keeping track of all the latest video games coming out is an increasingly complex task, what with multiple PC storefronts, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and more to keep track of, but don’t worry, I’m here to help. Every month I’ll be running down the games you need to be keeping an eye on, from the big triple-A headliners, to the intriguing indies you might otherwise overlook. December is usually a rather quiet month when the last pre-Christmas stragglers come out, and that’s mostly the case this year, with one big exception – Cyberpunk 2077. Yes, CD Projekt Red’s much-anticipated (and delayed) epic finally arrives in just a few days, although that’s not all there is to look forward to this month. Immortals Fenyx Rising, Dontnod’s latest narrative adventure Twin Mirror, and more also call December home. On the indie front, you can look forward to quirky co-op platformer PHOGS! and the charming chillout experience Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, just to name a few. Cyberpunk 2077 Crossgen Saves Reconfirmed, CDPR Details How They Will Work Note: While I may have played demos or got early access to some of the games recommended in this article, in most cases I’m simply choosing games that look promising, and can’t vouch for the end product. Do wait for reviews before buying! That said, here are the games you should be looking out for in December… Twin Mirror (PC, Xbox One & PS4, Dec.1) Twin Mirror casts players as Sam Higgs, an investigative journalist with an uncanny ability to recreate the details of a crime in his mind. Unlike most other recent Dontnod titles, Twin Mirror will be released all at once, rather than episodically, and looks to be more “gamey” than some of their recent very-story-driven output. Whether this approach pays off for Dontnod is a mystery that’s yet to be solved, but as a fan of the studio, I’m glad to see something a little different.
