Top 10 New Games of October 2022

10. The Eternal Cylinder
Release Date: October 13, 2022
Developed By: ACE Team
Publisher: Good Shepherd Entertainment
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X

This one has been out for the previous-gen consoles for a while, and it's now coming out to next-gen consoles, too. This absurdist game is all about surviving natural hazards in alien worlds. Players take control of an alien herd of animals called Trebhlums and must traverse unfamiliar lands for survival. One of the most absurd games on our list, it's still one of the top new games coming out this month.

9. Dragon Ball The Breakers
Release Date: October 14, 2022
Developed By: Dimps
Publisher: Namco Bandai Games America Inc., BNE Entertainment
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch

Have you ever wanted to be a normal person in a world where Saiyans and supervillain aliens exist? Me neither, but Bandai Namco is giving us the opportunity to do so. In Dragon Ball The Breakers, players get to experience Dragon Ball's take on asymmetric survival horror gameplay. Play as a normal civilian while avoiding capture by super villains like Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu, or play the other role and hunt down humans with your super saiyan powers.

8. Scorn
Release Date: October 21, 2022
Developed By: Ebb Software
Publisher: Ebb Software, Kepler Interactive
Platforms: PC, Xbox Series X

A genre-defying horror walking-simulator with FPS elements, Scorn is an H.R. Geiger-inspired body-horror-filled game that will horrify you as much as it will enrapture you. Early impressions by game critics have shown just what kind of experience Scorn aims to give players, and it's definitely not for everyone. Check out others' videos about it to know if this one's for you, or get it while it's on Game Pass to try it out for free.

7. Ghostbusters Spirit Unleashed
Release Date: October 18, 2022
Developed By: IllFonic
Publisher: IllFonic
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X

Another asymmetric survival horror game that made it on our list of top games coming out this October is Ghostbusters Spirit Unleashed. Play either as a Ghostbuster hunting down spooky ghosts, or one of the ghosts who only try to terrorize innocent humans by being poltergeists and spooking them off with moving, possessed objects.

6. PGA TOUR 2K23
Release Date: October 14, 2022
Developed By: HB Studios
Publisher: 2K Sports
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X

One of the low-key great games by 2K Games, PGA TOUR 2K23 returns after one year off the grid. This year, PGA TOUR 2K23 has more options for its popular course designer, with an even deeper career mode than ever before, which even lets you go into rivalries with the pros as you try to carve your own legacy. Featuring as many pro golfers around as ever before, including the NBA GOAT Michael Jordan and of course PGA's GOAT Tiger Woods, players get to experience the most accessible and most enjoyable golf game to come out yet.

5. Bayonetta 3
Release Date: October 28, 2022
Developed By: PlatinumGames
Publisher: Nintendo
Platforms: Nintendo Switch

Bayonetta is back once again, and this time she's taking on man-made horrors called Hommonculi. With the help of both old and new allies, Bayonetta will once again use witchcraft to save the world from malevolent forces. New to the series is the Naive Angel Mode, which makes sure that you can play the game with anyone around, even your parents, if you catch my drift.

4. Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Release Date: October 20, 2022
Developed By: Ubisoft
Publisher: Ubisoft
Platforms: Nintendo Switch

At this point, no one should be sleeping on Mario + Rabbids. Yes, the combination of IPs seems ridiculous, but Ubisoft has already shown that it works. Some people might scoff at this, but it actually has a lot of features and mechanics that make it a little bit deeper compared to other games of the same genre. In fact, Mario + Rabbids really is a game that requires a lot of thinking, in spite of its child-friendly looks. Even if you yourself aren't going to play it, do your kids a favor and get this for them. They'd come out smarter.

3. Gotham Knights
Release Date: October 21, 2022
Developed By: WB Games Montreal
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X

Play as one of Batman's successors in a game where single-player and multiplayer gameplay blend together seamlessly. Play as Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, or Robin, each character with their own move sets, combos, and special gadgets for a unique way to play for each character you use. With a large pair of shoes to fill, the Batchildren have a lot on their plate with Batman being gone.

2. A Plague Tale Requiem
Release Date: October 18, 2022
Developed By: Asobo Studio
Publisher: Focus Entertainment
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X

An emotional and heart-wrenching game that will really make you care about its cast of characters, A Plague Tale Requiem continues the stories of Amicia and Hugo as they try to escape prosecution and survive a plague that, beyond their own comprehension, has apparently been brought about by their presence.

1. Call of Duty Modern Warfare II
Release Date: October 28, 2022
Developed By: Infinity Ward
Publisher: Activision
Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X
