8. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Release Date: October 27 (PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch in 2018)

The Hype: 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Blood breathed fresh new life into the franchise with an unexpectedly well-crafted narrative, and the upcoming sequel looks set to build on that foundation with a brutally violent romp across Nazi-occupied 1960s America.

Everything shown off so far suggests another thoughtfully plotted, visually stunning gore-fest that's sure to satisfy fans of the series. Plus, if you're willing to hold out a few months longer, the game's getting a Nintendo Switch release early in 2018.

Whatever your platform of choice, though, The New Colossus should prove that the franchise is in better shape than ever, even if its sales prospects are a little more dubious, releasing in such a packed month as it is.
