2023 is nearly over, but there are still a handful of significant video game releases before the calendar flips to 2024. At the top of that list is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which looks to build upon the gameplay of the Far Cry franchise but with locations, creatures, and weapons from the Avatar movies. Plus, the popular life sim Disney Dreamlight Valley is finally leaving early access, and to celebrate, the developers are also launching its first expansion.
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince is a turn-based RPG, but unlike the mainline titles, you play as a monster wrangler in this spinoff series. In addition to fighting monsters, you can also recruit them to your team. Once you have a party full of monsters, you can battle in the arena, combine monsters to create a more powerful teammate, and more.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is a mix of a life sim (like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley) and an adventure game. In the valley, Disney and Pixar characters once lived in harmony, but the Forgetting changed that. Now, it's your job to explore the world, complete quests, and build Dreamlight Valley back up while helping the inhabitants along the way.
In Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, you play as a Na'vi who was abducted by humans and trained to fight on their side. But 15 years later, you are free of their grasp, and you'll use everything they taught you to turn the tide against them in the Western Frontier. Along the way, you'll upgrade your skills, craft new gear, and find weapons to protect your people.
The sequel to Granblue Fantasy Versus, Rising introduces new mechanics to the popular fighting game, such as Dash Attacks and the Triple Attack. Rising also adds rollback and crossplay to the netcode, and in addition to 25 returning characters, there are also four new characters joining the roster: Anila, Siegfried, Nier, and Grimnir.
The wildly successful home improvement game House Flipper is getting a sequel in December. House Flipper 2 once again tasks you with knocking down walls, wiping windows, and mopping up floors of houses in need of renovation. There's also a new sandbox mode that allows you to build your own home from scratch with all the game's tools.
Those are the highlights, but here are some other notable game releases in December:
We will be back next month with all of the video game releases for January 2024, including Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
