Instead, expect a mixture of linear levels and sandbox environments as you brave the irradiated wastelands and their mutated horrors once more. ![]() It's pleasing, then, that a game that delights in the small things hasn't gone fully open-world for its latest instalment. Metro's always been about attention to detail: the reload animations, the cobbled-together weaponry, and those glorious Nixie tube watches. And then there's RedLynx's Antti's fantastic face-plant providing the brightest moment of E3 2018, of course. That, combined with a wheelie-heavy jaunt up the side of the Eiffel Tower, makes this pretty exciting stuff. The globe-hopping settings may be the most obvious selling point for this latest instalment in RedLynx's wonderful motorbike disaster simulator, but the real treat promises to be a new Tandem Bike mode that sees two players struggling to control a single motorbike between them. Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC ![]() Here's what to expect this year: Crash Team Racing and Warcraft 3 are surely the big ones.įinal Fantasy 7, 9, 10, 12 & more for Switch The industry's enthusiasm for remastering, remaking and reissuing the classics continues, and we're all for it. Even if you are not one of its unhinged fanbase, remember that this third mainline game is one of those agonised decade-in-the-making epics that Square Enix seems to specialise in: not all of them work out well, but they all demand your attention. It can still be hard to believe that Kingdom Hearts exists: an arcane, densely-plotted crossover series blending Final Fantasy-style role-playing with every Disney property under the sun, from Pirates of the Caribbean to The Little Mermaid. Aside from that, this could be the game to finally bring Resident Evil's two identities together in perfect harmony: its roots in tense, jumpy survival horror and its post-RE4 incarnation as an OTT action game. One of the boldest exercises yet in remaking a classic game, this is such an extensive overhaul - not least in its modern camera and complete control and gameplay revamp - that we reckon it qualifies as a 'new' game. And that's the most exciting prospect of all. One thing's for definite, though - many of 2019's biggest and best games won't be on this list, because we don't even know they exist yet. The list more or less divides into three parts: firmly (and a couple of loosely) dated games for the first half of the year games with just a '2019' date attached, most of which we expect to see in the second half of the year and games with no release date that we have some reason to hope will see the light of day in 2019, although there is some wishful thinking involved in a couple of these. (You can also listen to us run through the 2019 release calendar and hear our predictions for the year ahead in the latest Eurogamer Podcast - scroll to the bottom for a Soundcloud embed and links.) At first, we thought we'd struggle to find 50 games for the list, but by the end we had far more than we could feature. On the third-party side, we can be sure of seeing EA's next Star Wars game, and Ubisoft will surely have something as yet unannounced up its sleeve, while Cyberpunk 2077 seems more like a 2020 game - at the earliest.ĭig around a little, however, and you uncover a wealth of fascinating software from indie teams (headlined Spelunky 2), from what may be the last of the major crowdfunding projects (Shenmue 3 and Psychonauts 2) and from an emerging category of larger-scale, semi-indie productions with publisher backing, of which Obsidian's The Outer Worlds is the most exciting prospect. It will be a long while before Microsoft's studio acquisition spree pays off, too, leaving Gears 5 and not much else to wave the Xbox flag. Nintendo has a very busy year ahead (Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion, another Pokémon, potentially Metroid Prime and Bayonetta) but Sony's plans for PS4 are vague at best, and we would be shocked to see the likes of Death Stranding this year. ![]() After a first quarter packed with big releases and dominated by EA's would-be juggernaut Anthem, the picture is quite hazy, with big names being scarce and release dates - even of the very loosest variety - even scarcer. It's perhaps a little far into the new year already to be offering you a preview of what's to come - sorry about that - but piecing together a full picture of coming attractions in 2019 hasn't been easy.
