The November 2020 games trends spotlight recent video game launches, specialized accessories, updates, gamified advertising campaigns, and more.
With the announcement of WB Games Montréal's 'Gotham Knights,' Batman fans can look forward to creating their own legacy in the iconic superhero's city. Tasked to take on the role of the new Dark Knight, players will have the chance to act as different DC characters, including Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, and Red Hood.
In time for Halloween, the 'Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition' made its debut, brining the film's fans closer to the cursed woods than ever before. Transformed specifically for the VR experience, the updated Blair Witch game puts players in the shoes of the protagonist as they explore the woods and uncover mysteries with the help of their canine companion.
