From one battleground to another: the beloved MMORPG gets another global upgrade. While CoD moves to future, WoW dives back into the glorious past. Player level cap of 100 is added with new great capabilities – build garrisons, mine resources, and send groups to raids. Wait for some “Heroes of Might and Magic” flashbacks. WoWWoD is coming up on November 13.

Assassin’s Creed: Unity

Another step into the past with a new history-packed episode of the iconic series. The game is set in Paris of 1789 – a turbulent and dangerous time. The protagonist, Arno Dorian steps up into the battle of the French Revolution. The creators could not stand aside all the greatness within – every side-mission has a historical context.

The game features new Anvil engine, harnessing the power of the next-gen consoles. New combat modes, weapons, and stealth action wrapped up in one more great history to experience. The game is expected to hit the shelves on November 13, side to side with Blizzard’s World of Warcraft.

Far Cry 4

One more much-anticipated release from Ubisoft. The game takes you into a phantasmagoric adventure with Himalayan tyrannical leaders, civil war, weaponized animals and whatnot – to put long story short - everything one loves in Far Cry. The game will be available on November 20 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStaion 3 and Xbox360, as well as PC to once more remind what’s the real definition of insanity.

Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Definitely one of the most expected games of the year, this release from Polish CD Project RED was originally scheduled to be out in November. However, the release date was then moved to February 24 – for marketing considerations – November is just too full of big new games.

The new Witcher, however, definitely stands up to the expectations – fully open-world, with no more loading screens in the midst of locations, and reworked inventory system. Ride horses, boats, dive and practice meditation in a world full of Slavonic and Scandinavian mythology.

Also, take a look at the five world famous apps developed in Chicago. I bet you can't even guess the titles ;) Or can you?
