VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE
BLOODLINES 2
Release Date: March 31, 2020
Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC
The original was a clunky mess, but was
arguably one of the most beloved RPG’s on
PC back in the early 2000s. For years fans
have been screaming for a sequel and finally
in 2020 their screams have been heard. Based
on the popular tabletop game, Vampire: The
Masquerade, Bloodlines 2 follows the story of a
human from Seattle, who wakes up as a vampire
after being killed. Upon realizing they are now a
vampire, players must upgrade their powers and
join one of the five blood clans. The wealth of
choices and side quests is staggering and looks
to live up to the 2004 classic.

NIOH 2
Release Date: March 13, 2020
Platform: PlayStation 4
Described by many as Dark Souls with samurais,
yet the original Nioh was so much more. Yes it
shared a lot of similarities with the Souls series,
but it brought a complex battle system, a deep
and varied upgrade system and a unique story
drenched in ancient Japanese lore. The sequel
will feature various upgrades to the already
popular systems and will be set in a new and
equally dangerous Sengoku era. Expect a tough-
as-nails action RPG that will push even the most
seasoned Souls player to the edge.

MICROSOFT FLIGHT
SIMULATOR
Release Date: TBC, 2020
Platform: Xbox One, PC
The last decade was not kind to flight simulator
fanatics, with titles released few and far between,
but Microsoft is set to change that in 2020 with a
brand new entry into their every popular Flight
Simulator series. Expect the same ultra-realistic
controls and plane behaviors from previous
entries, set to photo-realistic graphics, captured
using tons and tons of geographical information
to create a near-perfect representation of planet
earth, some might even be lucky enough to fly
over their own houses. Add in the challenge of
real-life weather patterns and behaviors so you
know potential pilot wannabes are in for an
absolute treat.
