This week sees the return of an intergalactic stalwart, along with some super-powered block-tastic heroes, among others!

Star Wars: Battlefront II

17 November (Xbox One, PS4, PC)

Easily the biggest franchise name in popular culture is getting a new movie and game this season, as Star Wars: Battlefront II releases this week.

Battlefront II expands upon its multiplayer-only predecessor, adding a more comprehensive online mode and story campaign which ties directly into the Star Wars canon.

Up to 40 player matches can be unleashed online, and there will be split-screen offline co-op modes (thank goodness) for those who just want some fun with a buddy.

Lego Marvel Superheroes 2

14 November (Xbox One, PS4, PC, Switch)

The Lego games are always fantastic, and the latest is the sequel to 2013’s Lego Marvel Superheroes spin-off, which obviously went down fantastically with Lego and Marvel fans alike.

The sequel expands upon the previous game with a new open world, new characters, and scenarios and influences from recent Marvel movies over the past few years, but still maintains the winning-formula of the franchise — jumping, smashing blocks, solving puzzles, and beating up baddies.

The game also introduces a new four-player competitive super hero battling mode, allowing players to fight each other cooperatively in battle arenas.
