It’s time for the annual topic that looks forward to the next 12 months in gaming! Which games in this coming year are you going to play? And on top of that, are they any games already out that you’re planning to pick up / play?
My 2020 looks like this at the moment:
April 3rd - Resident Evil 3
April 28th - Gears Tactics
June 19th - The Last of Us Part II
July 17th - Ghost of Tsushima
September 25th - Panzer Dragoon Remake (Steam)
November 10th - Destiny 2: Beyond Light
November 17th - Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
December 8th - Call of the Sea
December 10th - Cyberpunk 2077
So… really not much in the way of new releases. I do of course have my backlog to attend to, so with any luck I’ll have finished Destiny 1/2 and Resident Evil 0/1/2 before things kick off in April. Other than these I’d like to play Jedi: Fallen Order, I might pick up Journey as someone tells me it’s rather good, and PS4 indie title Spirit of the North has also caught my eye.
I wonder who that person is? They must have very good taste.
The games that I’m looking forward to this year are Panzer Dragoon: Remake, Doom Eternal, and The Last of Us: Part II. I might not pick up Doom Eternal straight away, but I’ll certainly play the remake and Last of Us sequel close to their release dates.
Other than that, at the top of my list are some of last years releases, in particular Shenmue III and Life is Strange 2.
The Verge wrote an article about upcoming games this year which is worth a read if you’re looking for ideas:
I had forgotten about Sable; I am indeed interested in playing it too. There’s also Tell Me Why, a new story driven game from the developer of Life is Strange.
I did see GameSpot were reporting the dev team will work “extra long hours” to finish the game now. It sounds like the previous release date wasn’t even close to being realistic. Delay it till next year if they must, just don’t kill anyone because of crunch!
