Article The Games Bi-Weekly 29 Sep - 13 Oct

Hey, everyone! This is [member='AzurAurora'] with the Games Bi-Weekly again. This is the second installment of this series. We have a busy two weeks ahead of us with a lot of big games that will be released.

Please be aware that release dates can differ between regions, but the first release date determines if it makes a list. If your region is not on the list, this time, it is because it already has been released. Lucky you! This list will include mostly the big AAA-games that will be released, like stuff from Ubisoft, Sony, Nintendo, Square Enix, EA, Microsoft, etc. Smaller games tend to fall off the radar, but I will try to catch them on my way. I will always include the consoles the game will be released on, the dates, and, if I can, a trailer or a link to the trailer.

To kick off the list is Yo-Kai Watch 2, which will come in two versions: Bony Spirits; and Fleshy Souls. Yo-Kai Watch is a huge deal in Japan. In the games, you can befriend Yo-Kai, ancient Japanese spirits from their folklore. In Japan, the third installment is already released to the public. This week the second installment in the series will finally make its way to North America. In this game, Nate, or Katie, have forgotten all about their adventures with Whisper and the other Yo-Kai. Find out what happened on the 30th of September in North America, the 15th of October in Australia and in 2017 in Europe on the Nintendo 3DS.

The Mafia is coming to town. Indeed, the 2K game that everybody was waiting for will be released next week. In Mafia III Lincoln Clay, a Vietnam Veteran returns to New Bordeaux. He is hellbent on only one thing: revenge for his fallen friends, who were murdered by the local Italian mafia. Go in guns blazing or opt for a stealthier approach to mow down the empire the mob has built in New Bordeaux. You and Lincoln Clay may begin your quest for revenge on the 7th of October. The game will have a worldwide release on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Ride 2 will appear next week. This motorcycle game has 174 different bikes to choose from, and that is without even mentioning the 16 customizable bikes. Ride 2 will give the player too much to choose from, but maybe that is a good thing. Ride 2 will be available on the 7th of October in Europe on the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

WWE 2K17 will be rumbling to go next week. Fight with known WWE fighters and bash their heads in (in carefully scripted fighting scenes, come on it is fake, everybody knows it). With big names like John Cena, The Ultimate Warrior, and Sasha Banks, it is almost guaranteed to be a slugfest. If anyone can beat JOHN CENA THAT IS. It will be released worldwide on the 11th of October on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
