Only a handful of new games will be available on store shelves this week, as most publishers are running scared from the pending launch of the latest game in the Call of Duty franchise. The PC, PS4, and Xbox One release of Call of Duty: WWII has built up quite a bit of hype this year, especially for its return to the European Theater of World War II
And if you’re thinking of upgrading to a PS4 Slim, Sony and Activision have teamed up to produce a special PS4 Slim 1TB + Call of Duty: WWII Limited Edition Bundle that’s decked out in a Green Camouflage color scheme.
But several other games will be available this week, including Bandai Namco’s Dot Hack G.U.: Last Recode (a PS4 remake of the entire Dot Hack G.U. trilogy) and Spintires: Mud Runner (a bizarro driving game for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One).
A complete rundown of this week’s new releases can be found after the break.

A trio of new games were added to the Xbox Games Store this morning, but two of the three will definitely make a big splash on the digital storefront.
Leading the way is Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, which is now available to download for the Xbox One. BJ Blazkowicz is back, and this time he’s taking the fight to the Nazis in the good old US of A. A new locale is also in store for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, which has shifted to Ancient Egypt for Assassin’s Creed Origins, which is also available to download now on the Xbox One.
Finally today, Hamster Corporation continues their series of NeoGeo re-releases on the Xbox One with Mutation Nation, a side-scrolling beat ’em up.

It’s hard to believe that four years have already passed since the original SteamWorld Dig first graced gaming systems. Image & Form’s platformer came out of left field and garnered attention and praise from gamers and critics alike (it was even in the running for the “‘Shoeless’ Joe Jackson Award” in our annual Golden Pixel Awards roundup). At the time, we couldn’t wait to return to the SteamWorld universe and see the characters “fleshed out” in a sequel, so-to-speak.
Instead, the next entry we got in the series was a spinoff, SteamWorld Heist. It was still set in the same universe as Dig, but Heist wasn’t a direct sequel, and took place much further in the future. Gameplay was also different, as Heist took on a turn-based strategy approach as opposed to Dig’s resource-collecting, mining, MetroidVania style. While fun in its own right, many wanted to see a return to SteamWorld Dig’s roots.
And almost half a decade later, we got our wish.

I’ve started to take it for granted that a big batch of new downloadable games will be released for the Switch every week through the Nintendo eShop. This week is no different, but it also comes with the added bonus of Mario’s latest adventure, Super Mario Odyssey, which will be available to download on Friday.
If you’re skipping the plumber’s latest rescue attempt, Switch owners will also be able to download retro-inspired RPG Moon Hunters and Ubisoft’s Monopoly adaptation (on Tuesday).
