Quarter 4 is always a popular time for big-name releases, particularly given its proximity to Christmas, and that’s certainly the case this year with some of the year’s big name titles due for release.”

People are clearly eager to find out anything they can about the title, suggesting that it may very well prove to be a huge hit, once again, upon release.”
