Seven Great Games of December 2018
Not a single awesome game release can ever go unnoticed by our DMarket gaming enthusiasts. While providing you with an easy and safe way to buy and sell CS:GO and Dota 2 skins, we always keep an eye on what’s on the gaming industry radar.
December 2018 isn’t nearly as fruitful for new titles as recent months which saw the groundbreaking Red Dead Redemption 2 and breathtaking Marvel’s Spider-Man. However, there are still some games to come this year which are worth your attention.
In this article, we’ll look at the top 7 games to play on PC and consoles for the remainder of the year. Some of them have already gained much traction on other platforms, whilst others are brand new to the public. In the meanwhile, you can already play some of the games from our November 2018 top list.
Just Cause 4 (PC, PS4, Xbox One - December 4)
Welcome again to the dangerous yet enticing world of Rico Rodriguez, your favorite bold undercover agent! Operating behind enemy lines in a distant South American country is no piece of cake. Surprisingly, there is more excitement at taking part in his new adventures, rather than fear for the life of this relentless mercenary.
This time around, Rico Rodriguez has to take down the illegal military organization the Black Hand and all its kingpins. The new sequel takes on the story of the famous series, and will definitely surprise its fans with far smarter NPCs and unbelievably realistic natural phenomena effects of blizzards, sandstorms, lightning, tornadoes and other impressive weather experiences.
Now you have a great chance to pre-order one of the three edition packs with more than enough in-game goodies inside via the official game website.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden (PC, Xbox One, PS4 - December 4)

Insurgency: Sandstorm (PC – December 12)

Together with a new thought-out story mode, the game is expected to feature an eSports framework, which can attract lots of professional players from all around the world. All in all, this used-to-be an Indie title but now has got every chance to have the warmest welcome from the gaming community.
