november 2026: 5 most exciting video games releasing bring Vice City, Zelda, and a mysterious fantasy world

Grand Theft Auto returns

Rockstar Games is bringing Grand Theft Auto 6 back to Vice City, a fictional version of Miami in the state of Leonida. The game is scheduled to release November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

The story follows Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, criminals whose partnership develops amid a dangerous situation. Their relationship gives the narrative a different dynamic from earlier entries centered on multiple protagonists with competing interests.

Players have long explored Grand Theft Auto worlds beyond the main missions. With 13 years having passed since GTA 5 was released, expectations are high, while many details about the new game remain unrevealed.

A Zelda classic returns

Originally released in 1998, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is returning as part of the franchise’s 40th anniversary. Nintendo has announced overhauled visuals, voiced cutscenes, expanded character dialogue, orchestral music, and revised camera and movement controls.

The adventure follows Link as he tries to protect Hyrule from Ganondorf. He travels through forests, villages, temples, and dungeons, while playing melodies on the ocarina to affect the world and advance.

Exploration, puzzles, and combat are central to the original. The remake offers longtime fans a chance to revisit it and newcomers a way to experience the adventure without playing the Nintendo 64 version; how well its changes preserve the original’s appeal remains to be seen.

A new world takes shape

The story follows a man who has lost everything. His journey changes when he meets a Fell Child, a being regarded as an omen of disaster, and the two begin a descent toward the surface.

The game is scheduled for November 5, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Its premise offers a distinct alternative to the month’s returns to established series.
