December 2015 video games lineup: 'Just Cause 3,' 'Rainbow Six Siege' and more
Now that it’s officially December, the holiday season has begun, and it's time to decide which video games to buy. The games that will be released this month range from good to interesting, with various exclusives on the PS4 and Xbox One.
While both consoles have their exclusives, there is one game available for both consoles and PC that plenty of gamers are waiting for: “Just Cause 3.” The game is chaos unleashed, as players are given a huge map and plenty of things to do, like exploring the scenery with a flying suit and shooting down helicopters.

idigital Times has also confirmed that “Rainbow Six Siege” will be available this month. The title will also be available on both consoles, along with PC, and is expected to be one of the bestselling shooters from publisher Ubisoft.

Another release for both consoles is “Chivalry: Medieval Warfare,” which comes out on the Xbox One on Dec. 1 and PS4 on Dec. 2. It’s a strange choice for a holiday release considering the aforementioned competition, but the title has some interesting features like first-person combat and multiplayer that supports 24 online users.

PS4 fans have also a lot to look forward to this month, as the PlayStation Blog has confirmed that the “Uncharted 4” beta will start soon. Priority will go to players who bought “Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection”; however, it’s not yet clear if those who didn’t buy the bundle will gain access to the multiplayer beta.
Other games coming to PlayStation users include the indie horror title “Among the Sleep” and anime fighting game “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven.” It will be interesting to see how these games do during the holiday season, since they will be facing heavy competition.
The Xbox One also has an exclusive title for the holidays; a quirky little game called “Bacon Man.” It was inspired by titles like “Mega Man X” and should be a fun platformer.
It looks like gamers have a lot to do this holiday season with the slew of new games and the upcoming Game Awards. They can even pick up titles that they haven’t purchased yet like “Fallout 4,” among others.
