HALO INFINITE
Release Date: Q4 2020
Platform: Xbox One, Xbox X Series, PC
Not a lot is known so far of the next iteration
in the highly-rated Halo series, but one thing
we do know is that it will feature the return
of series mainstay Master Chief. Many were
disappointed with Halo 5’s story but developers
have reassured us that Infinite will be heavily
focused on the mighty Spartan. With the release
date set to late 2020, many are speculating
that it will be a launch title for the new Xbox X
Series consoles, but rest assured Xbox One and
PC owners, it is definitely launching on current-
gen consoles and on Game Pass to boot.

DYING LIGHT 2
Release Date: Q2 2020
Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC
The sequel to the 2015 surprise parkour-filled,
zombie slasher hit, Dying Light 2 which was
announced way back at E3 2018 will finally
reach our consoles in 2020. Expect the same
crazy parkour action around a brand new city,
with updated visuals and even more terrifying
zombies. Throughout the game, players will
have to make a series of choices, each of which
will have unforeseen consequences. The
developer Techland has also promised a much
larger map as well as support and potential
upgrades for the new generation of consoles
that are around the corner.

MARVEL’S AVENGERS
Release Date: May 15, 2020
Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Stadia
When initially announced at E3 2019, many
people were skeptical of the new Avenger’s
game from Crystal Dynamics (developer of
the recent Tomb Raider Trilogy). Many felt
the gameplay looked off, the characters looked
weird and many feared it might just be a quick
Marvel Cash Grab. However, as more of the
game has been revealed, the excitement for the
Avengers has grown exponentially. Marvel’s
Avengers will begin at the events of A-Day,
the unveiling of the new Avengers HQ in
San Francisco. However, after a quick turn of
events which results in the death of civilians,
the Avengers officially disband. Fast forward
five years later, and all superheroes are now
outlawed. However, a recent world event
puts humanity at risk, and the only hope is to
reassemble the Avengers.
