Xbox drops hefty free download that leaves fans seriously impressed
Check out one of October's most exciting games
October is set to be a very stacked month for video game releases.
I hope your backlog isn’t already groaning under its own weight, because you’re probably going to want to add a few more titles to it.
Until Dawn, Silent Hill 2, Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred, Dragon Ball: Sparkling Zero, Europa, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Unknown 9: Awakening, Yakuza Kiwami, Sonic x Shadow Generations, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Horizon Zero Dawn: Remastered, and Batman: Arkham Shadow are just a few of the options on the way next month.
Yes, I said ‘just a few’. There are far too many to list.

One of the games we’re most excited about here at GAMINGbible though is Metaphor ReFantazio - an upcoming RPG from Atlus, the studio behind the Persona series.
If you weren’t aware, a demo of the game’s prologue is now available across Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
Take a look at Metaphor ReFantazio in action below.
"In the Prologue Demo, players can experience some of the early game narrative, explore social elements, and discover the city as they get a head start on their adventure ahead of the October 11 launch," Atlus explained.
And yes, all progress will carry over should you pick up the full launch.
It’s around 50GB in size and players will get to check out the first four dungeons, unlocking around seven of the 40 classes.
The demo landed on Xbox slightly ahead of its fellow platforms, and it’s already proving a huge hit with players.
“Put in close to two hours. Seems pretty awesome. Really into the story. The music is on another level,” said Reddit user MRHipshot.
“Just finished the demo for Metaphor and it’s even better than I expected… Genuinely might end up being one of the best games ever, it’s incredible,” added Twitter user DireRavennn.
We previously had the opportunity to go hands-on with the game with GAMINGbible’s Ewan writing, “While elements of Persona are still clear, from Atlus’ ability to create the most stunning and stylish UI you’ve ever seen in a video game, to the sharp writing and instantly memorable characters, Metaphor: ReFantazio also pulls from classic fantasy RPG adventures to create something wholly original.”
If you want to check out Metaphor ReFantazio, the demo is out now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
