WATCH DOGS LEGION
Release Date: TBC, 2020
Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Stadia
After a dreary first entry in the series, the
original Watch Dogs had so much potential and
with the release of Watch Dogs 2 developer,
Ubisoft almost achieved its full potential.
However, with Watch Dogs Legion, those early
promises seem to be fully delivered. A radical
departure from the original concept Legion
takes place in a post-Brexit London. The game
will follow a London-based hacker group,
known as DedSec, as they try to fight the new
London authority. Unlike the previous entries,
there will be no single hero character, but
instead you can recruit anyone in London to be
part of the hacker group. So far our favorite is
the mild-mannered granny.

GHOST OF TSUSHIMA
Release Date: Mid 2020
Platform: PlayStation 4
After the incredible debut trailer earlier last year,
The Ghost of Tsushima has been high on every
PlayStation owner’s list. From the gorgeous
landscape to the epic samurai showdowns,
this game stood out from every single Sony
announcement. Ghost of Tsushima is set in
1274 and explores the story of Jin Sakai. In the
game, Japan is invaded by the Mongol people,
who place them under extreme oppression.
Players will have to master the way of the
Ghost, in order to free Japan from the grips of
Mongols. Featuring a beautifully rendered open
world that can be explored without the use of
waypoints or guidance objectives, this promises
to be a sleeper hit for the PS4 goliath.

ELDEN RING
Release Date: TBC, 2020
Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC
From the creators of Dark Souls, Bloodborne
and Sekiro comes one of the most exciting titles
of 2020, even though we hardly know anything
about the game apart from an announcement
trailer. However, it was the details revealed
in the announcement trailer that got people
talking, as developer From Software will create
their first truly open-world game but also team
up with Game of Thrones maestro George
R.R. Martin to create a unique world and story.
Considering the fantastic games From has
created combined with the story-driven skills
of Martin, this could quite possibly be their
greatest game yet.
