November's headline releases are mostly on consoles, but PC role-playing fans have a fuller month than that suggests. Below are the RPG and MMO releases still dated for November, in date order. We checked every date against its store or official page on October 31, and noted whether a demo is listed. Dates move, so check again before you plan a weekend around one.

Pathos (November 3)

Contrary Games' Pathos is a turn-based fantasy adventure inspired by retro dungeon crawlers. It promises deep character customization and procedurally generated campaigns, with a touch-first interface on PC. A demo is listed on Steam. [1]

Not a new game, but one of the month's most interesting launches. Hardcore Worlds are members-only servers where each character has one life, with a separate economy and no XP or drop-rate boosts. After a death, you choose between resetting the character or transferring it to the main game. [4]

A first-person fishing game set in a submerged, rotting world, with boat upgrades, survival crafting and creatures under the water and on land. It is a strange mix of cozy and grim, and the listed demo is the easiest way to see whether the balance works for you. [6]
