2016 has been an impressive year so far, both in terms of the quantity of game releases, big and small, as well as the quality and critical acclaim many have already garnered since the start of the year.

Each year's release season, usually when the biggest and most expensive games of the year come out, kicks off - unofficially - with the release of FIFA. It's all fair game after that, and this year is looking very impressive.

In fact, starting this week and until around mid-December, we're going to be seeing at least one big, AAA title launch every week. That's not even counting ports of games already available on other platforms and anticipated indie titles, not to mention surprises.

We've listed all the biggest games coming out starting this week, until the end of the year. These are only some of the titles for each week, obviously. If you're looking for a more inclusive list, you may want to bookmark our mega release list.

Week of December 5

Days away from the holidays, game releases will predictably come to a halt. That's not to say it's going to be a barren wastelands, there could always be that surprise Steam/digital release we hadn't considered.
