December's List Of The Latest Games To Clear Your Year
By Jesse Collins ·
From action to sports and everything in between, these new competitive games will keep your holidays jolly.
Every month, we'll be making sure to keep you up to date on competitive, multiplayer, or score-based games that are relevant to you.. As our first feature, we’re including the entirety of December (even though we're part way into the month) to get you up to date on the games you need to grab right now and in the not-so-distant future.
Gear Club (Switch) - December 1
Any racing games for the Nintendo Switch are welcome, even if they aren’t F-Zero. Gear Club joins an already outstanding first year of content for the little console that could.
Doom VFR (PSVR, HTC Vive) - December 1
It’s DOOM, but in VR. We could go on and on about this, but that’s all you need to know. It’s essentially the same game that has been out, but adding the ability to play it in VR is definitely a nice touch.
Steep: Road to the Olympics expansion (PS4, Xbox One, and PC) - December 5
Steep has a special place in my heart, being a fan of the old SSX series of yesteryear. The new expansion gives players a chance to compete on the Olympic stage. With next year’s Nintendo Switch debut, players should expect the DLC to be available when that hits as well.
Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris - December 5
The first expansion to Destiny 2 may not have had the best initial reviews, but the fans are still hoping that all of the day-1 issues get solved quick. Destiny 2 is shaping up to be similar to the original game, with multiple expansions.
Hearthstone - Kobolds and Catacombs expansion - December 7
As the most recently announced at BlizzCon 2017 this past month, this one gets a pass on being vague with details. Hearthstone is always good for new expansions and they’ll continue to offer the same gameplay each time with a little extra flair every so often.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Xbox Game Preview - December 12
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has made its mark as one of the top esports titles this year on PC. Starting off as the “Xbox Game Preview” will give console players the chance to play PUBG as well.
The Outcasts
Some of the games we’re waiting for are sure waiting until last minute to give us a real release date. We’ve compiled the most exciting prospects here and are pretending they’re going to be out by the end of December.
Morphies Law (Switch and PC) - Q4 2017
Morphies Law is possibly the strangest title on this entire list, but the Nindies hit excites us for competitive reasons. This shooter is unlike any other, for sure, and if it’s coming to the PC as well, it’ll just add to the multiplayer options!
Payday 2 (Switch) - Winter 2017
This 2013 hit gets a facelift for the Nintendo Switch. Announced back in April, this version is promised to add touch screen support and a fully revamped interface. Oh, and in October, they assured everyone that it’s definitely still on track for Winter 2017.
Did we miss any multiplayer or competitive games coming out in November or December? Sound off below and let us know so we can add it to the list!
