Many popular and highly anticipated video game titles are hitting the shelves this month. The fall season is loaded with excellent titles but the most likely to hit the top spot in terms of sales will be the new series installments from franchises that have already stood the test of time.
This list, in no particular order, will include three of the most beloved video game franchises and their newest installments.
Guitar Hero Live
First in the list is the successor to the genre defining and very popular video game franchise, "Guitar Hero." The newest addition to the series is "Guitar Hero Live." The game is widely held as a reboot of the "Guitar Hero" franchise which released its last game way back in 2010.
"Guitar Hero Live" will hit the shelves on Oct. 20. The game will be released for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Wii U.
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
Developed by Ubisoft Quebec, "Assassin's Creed: Syndicate" is the ninth major installment in the "Assassin's Creed" video game franchise. The game is set 1860's London during the Industrial Revolution. The game tells the story of a pair of assassin twins named Jacob and Evie Frye.
"Assassin's Creed: Syndicate" will hit shelves on Oct. 23 and will be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One console. The game lacks multiplayer mode because Ubisoft wants to focus more on the single player experience, according to PC Mag.
Halo 5: Guardians
Finally, hitting the stores on Oct. 27 is the latest installment to the widely successful "Halo" franchise. "Halo 5: Guardians" is being developed by 343 Industries and will be released exclusively for the Xbox One console. The game features a multiplayer campaign mode that allows up to four player to fight in coop-mode across several alien infested worlds. The game also introduces the Warzone which pits up to 12 players on each team to battle against each other, according to Ars Technica.
