Star Wars Battlefront 2 The Last Jedi Season will be bringing new challenges to the latest Battlefront game. Despite its controversial launch, Star Wars fans that wish to ally themselves with the Resistance or the First Order can do just that and upgrade themselves to fight for the cause they deem most worthy. Plus, players can play as Finn - and that's just cool.

Keep in mind there are other releases as well, such as the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild expansion, but we wanted to keep this list specifically for the games that have definitive release dates. After the thrilling months of October and November, December might seem a little cold and dry but never fear - there is more on the way!

This list will update accordingly.
