Lord of Undead is a “grim” third-person RPG about constructing a military of vicious zombies with a view to maliciously raze the villages of mortals. The aim is to defeat peace and innocence, all the higher for evil to prevail. You additionally get to construct homes. It sounds fairly enjoyable and, so far as I can inform, it is the second hottest recreation releasing on November 19 behind GTA 6.
Lord of Undead does have some benefits. The obvious is that GTA 6 is not coming to PC. It additionally has probably the most “Follows” of all Steam video games releasing that day. Follows are completely different to wishlists: to observe a recreation is to see information and bulletins about it in your information and updates feed, however you will not obtain a notification when it releases. Wishlist information is not public, however follows, for some cause, is.
Lord of Undead has a reasonably spectacular 2,649 follows proper now, barely greater than Parry Survivor, which enjoys 2,062. Parry Survivor stars a school-uniformed anime character who should fend off waves of masked boys. It is from the creator of Kunkun League, Black Gunner Wukong and Evolve or Die, all of which have between 150 and 450 “very optimistic” opinions.
We have now different video games to look ahead to as effectively: a minimum of 30 extra. Cute Nation has 736 follows and is described on its Steam web page as “tremendous cute remedy simulation operation single machine masterpiece” (I believe it is principally a metropolis builder with cell recreation RPG parts). Then, with 123 follows is Phantom Vice Auto, which Chris Livingston has already written about.
Wanting additional afield, Man Simulator has a modest 9 follows. It is a “comedy simulator” the place you get to be a slobbish middle-aged man: there’s regulation mowing, fishing, hammering, wooden chopping, barbequing, beer consuming, and it guarantees “meme-style presentation and humor”.

Curiously, there are literally extra video games releasing on November 19 than the day earlier than and after (six on the 18th and 12 on the twentieth). The identical is true the Thursday earlier than (27) and the Thursday after (5).
Will main publishers launch something near GTA 6? And I am speaking, by way of the whole thing of November? To this point, in keeping with our checklist of upcoming 2026 PC video games, not likely, although Devolver retains promising it would.

Soulslike extraction RPG Mistfall Hunter disappeared from the highest 10 after debuting in at quantity 3 final week (it ranked twelfth, so nearly).
What to learn subsequent
One other fascinating reality gleaned from simply outdoors the highest 10 is that Gears of Warfare: E-Day got here in at quantity 11, which is—so far as I can inform—the best its reached since Steam pre-orders began on June 7. In contrast, Forza Horizon 6 hit quantity 4 on the income charts in the course of the week pre-orders commenced.
I do not imply to appear like I am ragging on Microsoft—I am comfortable to take action for extra essential causes—however Halo: Marketing campaign Developed has dropped fairly severely, coming in at 69 after having fun with fifth place final week. Murderer’s Creed: Black Flag, against this, is dropping rather more slowly.
It is neat to see Huge Stroll rank so extremely, and it was general a giant week for area of interest Steam indies: Iron Nest is a heavy turret simulator and ReStory is about fixing outdated electronics.
