With Thanksgiving coming up tomorrow here in the United States, the month of November is almost over. Fitting with the change of months, Microsoft has announced December’s Games with Gold titles. As usual, Xbox Live Gold members can enjoy four games, two on Xbox One, and two on Xbox 360 via Backward Compatability. We’ve included all the details, trailers, and download links for you below.
Xbox One titles:
Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide: ($39.99 ERP) Available all of December

Assume the role of one of five heroes, and hack, slash, smash, burn and pierce the vile Skaven using a multitude of weapons. Fight your way through the city of Ubersreik, from the top of the Magnus Tower to the bowels of the Under Empire. This is our last stand and only you can stem the Vermintide.
