British developer Codemasters tweeted a teaser video for what appears to be a new game in their popular Grid racing franchise. Featuring bolts of color accompanied by the sounds of roaring engines, the brief video ends with the Grid logo, the date April 22, 2014 and the phrase “racing is coming.”

The announcement was hinted at in an earlier Weekly Update post from Codemasters mentioning that, “the PR guys are preparing PR stuff and the Community Team are busy teasing something…” All signs point to a proper sequel, as a post from Codemasters dev “CodesLoore” on NeoGAF confirmed that the impending announcement would not be for DLC and that they had heard the fans about the widely requested and frequently-modded cockpit view. An additional tweet also confirmed that Tuesday’s announcement would not involve Android or iOS.

Key art for Return to Monkey Island.

We've still got to wait a little longer before November's PlayStation Plus Essential monthly titles become available. For PS Plus subscribers who are looking for something to play but don't want to spend money on new games like Life is Strange: Double Exposure or Dragon Age: The Veilguard, October's list of PS Plus Extra game catalog additions was vast enough that there's still more great stuff there for you to try out. Those are the games I'm recommending you try out this weekend.

The Monkey Island series of adventure games helped put LucasArts on the map in the 1990s and still stand the test of time as some of the best titles in the genre. In 2022, series creator Ron Gilbert and designer Dave Grossman released a new game in the franchise called Return to Monkey Island. It once again stars pirate Guybrush Threepwood as he clashes with LeChuck while trying to find the secret of Monkey Island. Return to Monkey Island plays well on a controller for a point-and-click adventure game and still sports the classic humor in writing and puzzle design that made the originals iconic.

What’s new in November 2024: 7 games to keep an eye on

Luigi in Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

Assassin's Creed Shadows may have been delayed to next year, but November is no slouch when it comes to new games. We're getting sequels to some fantastic games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and The Case of the Golden Idol, new games in series like Mario & Luigi, Horizon, and Microsoft Flight Simulator, and more. While not quite as densely packed as a busier-than-usual October, some late game-of-the-year contenders certainly have a chance to pop up over the next month.

With so many games are coming out every week nowadays, that can be a lot to sift through. To help, I'm kicking off the month by spotlighting seven upcoming video games that should be on your radar. Pick these up, and they should round out your game library and backlog as we head into 2024's holiday season.
