While some games will release in December, November 2025 will be the last really packed month. The year has already produced more than enough new open-world games to keep somebody busy until the end of 2026, but the releases will not stop coming. Compared to October’s lineup, the upcoming month does not have as many big names; however, roughly the same number of projects are slated to drop, even if they are more niche.
Due to being more unknown, it is hard to predict which of the November 2025 open-world games will prove to be the pick of the bunch, and you might miss out on something that fits your preference due to the sheer volume of releases happening every single day. Therefore, let’s go through all the confirmed titles slated for the month that will, hopefully, leave their mark on the genre.
- The games are in release order.
- Only games with confirmed release dates will be included.
- Ports and expansions are listed separately.
- Games that are unlikely to have 100% traditional open-worlds are listed separately.
- No mobile games.
Tales of Old: Dominus
Open-World Medieval Game With Base Building
An ambitious indie game that looks to combine a medieval fantasy setting with real-time action combat, stealth, RPG customization, and base building, Tales of Old: Dominus has garnered a bit of momentum throughout the year. The story is all about revenge, as you step into the shoes of a survivor who is looking to get back at the nobles responsible for burning down his home, a process that will see you lead a rebellion and revitalize villages. Tales of Old: Dominus sounds fantastic on paper, although it remains to be seen whether all of its elements combine to create a cohesive whole. A demo of an earlier build was temporarily released in May 2025, and it was rough but showed potential.
Honeycomb: The World Beyond
Survive In A Gorgeous Sandbox
Honeycomb: The World Beyond looks stunning, bringing to life an alien planet that has unique flora, fauna, and wildlife. Unlike many of its contemporaries, Honeycomb opts for vibrant and colorful visuals, along with a first-person perspective. As a bioengineer stranded on Sota7, your goal is not just to survive, but also to thrive, discover, learn, and create. Along with exploring this beautiful world and avoiding death, you will be able to expand your base of operations, so the game should have a base-building aspect.
Of Ash and Steel
An Action RPG In A Dark Fantasy Open-World
One of November 2025’s most highly anticipated open-world games, Of Ash and Steel takes cues from classic RPGs like Gothic, so expect a fairly difficult experience that does not try to walk you through the experience. With no marker system, the game requires players to explore a rundown medieval kingdom that has seen better days, while gradually mastering combat that features different stances and sk8ills. You will need to make allies, but also show caution to avoid an avoidable death. Of Ash and Steel incorporates survival elements, such as hunger, quite extensively, which may not be to everyone’s taste.
