November is typically a pretty big month for gamers, with this year seeing the likes of Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and Pokemon Sword & Shield hitting the market. There's little doubt some of the bigger releases this year will change hands around Christmas, but as far as releases go, the bigger AAA titles start to slow down. Of course, with the myriad of games slated for Spring 2020 and March 2020 being stacked with games in particular, it only slows down for a short time.

Slow, however, does not mean it crawls to a halt, as there is still plenty for gamers to invest in. There are a few releases as well as a number of events taking place over the next few weeks, so for those interested in what comes out next month, here's every major video game release and event coming December 2019.
