The holiday season is fast approaching and no doubt gamers are starting to put in their order for some of the new games that are about to hit the shops in time for the Christmas. While it's impossible to predict exactly what's going to top the gaming charts this year, here's a sneak peek of those that are likely to be in demand from gamers all over the globe, from Xboxers to players of online casino games.

Halo 5: Guardians will be launched towards the end of November and, despite the flop of Halo 4, it's still likely to prove popular with its legion of fans who want to be involved in the latest chapter of the Master Chief's saga.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III brings back a perennial favourite for action fans. This time, the action is set in 2065 with the soldiers having gained virtual superpowers. A fantastic multiplayer game, this is bound to be an extremely popular addition to Christmas lists.

Exclusive to the Xbox One, Rise of the Tomb Raider promises to show the origins of Lara Croft and her evolution into the iconic superhero beloved by gamers, and film buffs, all over the world. Due out in November, this is one game that's definitely going to fill Microsoft's coffers.

While the last offering from Assassin's Creed didn't seem to hit the spot, this year's version Assassin's Creed Syndicate hopes to fare much better having dropped the games multiplayer element and placed their main focus on creating a solid single-player experience. There's also the choice of two protagonists - one male and one female, as the publisher has now incorporated a female assassin into this popular game.

Due to hit the stores in the middle of November, Star Wars: Battlefront is set to sell in its millions. Following on the success of Battlefront, one of the most popular Star Wars games of all times, you'll get to choose your allegiance to either the Empire or the Rebels and show your skill in online battles played by up to 40 players at a time.


Keeping on the Star Wars theme, Disney Infinity 3.0 is likely to prove just as successful as the past couple of years' offerings, as this latest version includes playable figurines of Darth Vader, Yoda, and other Star Wars characters.

Perhaps the most anticipated new release of not just this year, but the last five years, the post-apocalyptic role playing game, Fallout 4 is likely to be an enormous hit. It's popularity knows no bounds, as a loosely related free-to-play app released by Apple has demonstrated as it's already become a top revenue generator.

If you're looking for a new game for your Wii, look no further than Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival. This latest offering from the Animal Crossing franchise is hoping that its incredibly successful Amiibo figurines will seal the deal.

Mario, the iconic super plumber character immortalized by Nintendo is back with a vengeance in Super Mario Maker. Created exclusively for Wii, you'll be able to test your own skills and create your own 2D levels in a Super Mario Bros. world.

For those people who prefer the thrill of the casino, there's sure to be many new games, including online bingo games, in store for fans of online gaming sites. Sites such as luckycowbingo are already gearing up for the holiday season, with lot of new games, and plenty of exciting promotions in the offing.

However, if none of these appeal to you, you might want to wait for the New Year, when many publishers will launch their new games, such as Dying Light: The Following, which is due to launch sometime in the first quarter of 2016.
