Devil May Cry 5

After years of waiting, we’re finally getting a brand new Devil May Cry game. And in a rather surprising twist, it’s a direct continuation to the first four Devil May Cry games.

Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: Spring 2019

Doom Eternal

Doom Eternal is the upcoming sequel to the critically-acclaimed Doom reboot from 2016. The game takes everything that the previous game did and pushes it forward: the Doomslayer is more powerful than before, the number of enemies have doubled, and it takes place on Earth.

Dying Light 2

In the sequel to the first-person apocalyptic survival shooter, players will have plenty more chances to practice their sweet parkour while killing zombies. However, this time around, player’s choices will have real effects on the world and push the story down different paths.

The Elder Scrolls VI

Bethesda finally announced the next game in the Elder Scrolls series: The Elder Scrolls VI. No other details about the game were provided outside of a short teaser. It shows a mountainous region and some fog accompanied by a version of the iconic Dovahkiin music. A setting wasn’t specified, although fans are sure to do some sleuthing to narrow down the list of possibilities. Hopefully, we’ll get more details sooner than later.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA

The Elder Scrolls: Blades

The Elder Scrolls: Blades is a first-person, melee experience that focuses on the type of combat seen in other Elder Scrolls games. Players adventure through dungeons, but can also engage in PvP duels and city-building mechanics.

Platforms: iOS, Android, PC | Release Date: Fall 2018

Fifa 19

FIFA is consistently one of the biggest releases of the year, and in a year where a World Cup will attract many new fans to the sport, FIFA 19 will likely be no different.

Forza Horizon 4

Microsoft and Playground Studios are back for another round of Forza Horizon, the open-world racing spin-off of Forza Motorsport on Xbox One and PC. The last time we saw the series was in 2016, with the game set in a condensed version of Australia. This time around it’s set in Britain where you and other players are free to drive around the world at your leisure and participate in a variety of racing events.

Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: October 2

Gears 5

Gears of War returns with its fifth entry. This time around you play as Kait, who originally appeared in Gears of War 4. This latest entry sees Kait embark on a journey to discover the truth behind the visions plaguing her mind–most likely an effect of the Locust necklace she inherited from her grandmother.

Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019

Gears Tactics

Gears Tactics is a turn-based strategy spin-off of the Gears of War franchise. The game takes place 12 years before the first Gears of War. You can customize your own squad to take on threats in what was described as a more aggressive version of the classical tactics formula. And of course, as a Gears game, it will feature larger-than-life boss battles.

Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA

Hitman 2

Hitman 2 is taking its assassination simulator to new locations, like a Miami racetrack, but unlike the previous game, these will not release episodically. IO Interactive promises even more methods of taking out targets this time around, so we’re curious to play around with Agent 47’s new killer options–and track down the mysterious Shadow Client.

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Release Date: November 13

Overcooked 2

Overcooked 2 is serving up more chefs, more kitchens, more recipes, and more co-op madness. You can group up with friends or go it alone to cook up a storm, chopping, steaming and frying your way through levels that keep you on your toes. Online multiplayer can bring four chefs together to save the Onion Kingdom once again.

Developer: Ghost Town Games | Release Date: August 7

The Quiet Man

The Quiet Man is a brand-new game where you play as silent protagonist who appears to be deaf. The brief trailers showed him getting into a fight and quickly dispatching two hooligans in an alleyway. As the title implies, the game’s mechanics will likely involve silence and sound in some manner. According to Square Enix, more information concerning The Quiet Man will be revealed in August.

Platforms: PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA

Sea of Solitude

Sea of Solitude is an upcoming EA Originals game about a lonely girl whose emotions manage to turn her into a monster and the world into a flooded post-apocalyptic world. She must explore this world in order to find a way to turn back into a human.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA

Starfield

For the first time in 25 years, Bethesda is creating a new IP. We don’t know much about Starfield. However, based on the game’s title and brief teaser trailer, it’s probably safe to say that this RPG will take place in space.

Platforms: The next generation of consoles, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA

Team Sonic Racing

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was an unexpected hit after its launch back in 2012, and now–finally–we’re getting a follow-up called Team Sonic Racing. This time round, Sega has dropped the non-Sonic universe characters, but aside from a vague release window of “winter,” we don’t yet know much else about this promising racer.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch | Release Date: Winter 2018

Twin Mirror

Dontnod Entertainment is partnering with Bandai Namco to bring Twin Mirror, a new psychological thriller, to PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2019. Based on the E3 2018 trailer, the story focuses on a character named Sam who wakes up one day to discover a shocking amount of blood on his clothing with no memory of the cause. As Sam attempts to piece together the events from the night before, he will explore both the real world and surreal manifestations of his own psyche. Twin Mirror looks intriguing so far, but being one big mystery, we’ll have to wait until we see more of the game to get a grasp of how we ultimately fit into Sam’s harrowing investigation.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019

Wolfenstein: Young Blood

Wolfenstein Youngblood is set in an alternate 1980s Paris and follows the events of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. It stars series protagonist BJ Blazkowicz’s twin daughters, who are working together to continue the fight against the Nazis. The game can be played solo or co-op.
