Ghost of Tsushima Game

Image
Set in 1274 Tsushima Island, the game puts players into the role of Jin Sakai, the last samurai who is fighting against the Mongol invasion within Japan. Being outnumbered and trained traditionally, the only way players will have a chance at overturning the odds is by learning the new fighting style known as the way of the Ghost. This will be a third-person video game that has a focus on being stealthy when traversing the open world and taking out the Mongol hostiles that are scattered around. It’s worth venturing out into the open world as the game does feature a variety of side quests, but at the moment details are still a bit scarce. Currently, Ghost of Tsushima is releasing exclusively on the PlayStation 4, but there is no specific release date at the time of writing this so we’re holding out hope that we’ll see it launch into the market within 2020. Developer: Sucker Punch Productions Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment Platforms: PS4 Release: TBD Co-op: N/A Competitive Mult...

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

Image
The wait is finally over in 2020 as we’re finally getting a sequel to the much-beloved medieval RPG Mount & Blade: Warband. This particular title takes place a couple of hundred years before the events of the first installment. Outside of the multiplayer combat where you can embark on sieges and skirmishes, players will find that there is a campaign mode attached as well. Within this mode, you’ll be able to explore the open world, seek out the different towns, aid NPCs, rob thieves or innocents, and partake in massive battles either by yourself or by gaining a group of troops who may be willing to lend their sword for a bit of gold. A good bit of strategy is used within the game as well during combat. You’ll need to monitor stats, aim properly, block efficiently and of course, go into battle with the right equipment. Depending on your playstyle preference, you may opt for a particular weapon type such as a sword or spear. Likewise, you’ll be able to command your army to take on spe...

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Game

Image
Assassin’s Creed fans have been waiting patiently for a new installment to release from Ubisoft. The video game development studio opted to hold off from releasing a new installment in 2019 so after its year break we were introduced to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The video game is the next installment to the franchise in which players will be taking the role of Evior, a Viking that is seemingly being pushed by the Templar Order. We’re still early into the game announcement stage so not a ton of information has been released. With that said, we are coming off of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey one of the largest games from the franchise and we’re expecting this installment to be just as large. Set in 873 AD, the game will put players into Norway and medieval England. We know that there will be four kingdoms available and likely a ton of interesting locations to explore. Traveling will apparently be on foot along with naval longship’s similar to the travel we had in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, but...

Watch Dogs Legion Game

Image
Watch Dogs will have a third main installment released in 2020, Watch Dogs: Legion. This time around the game takes place in a fictionalized version of London where DedSec is now focusing on a new regime that’s taken over the United Kingdom. The title was announced during E3 2019 and it has one particular attribute that Ubisoft was thrilled to share worldwide during the expo. Unlike the past installments where the game focuses on one particular protagonist, Watch Dogs: Legion will have a seemingly endless amount of playable characters. The goal of the game at times will be recruiting potential players to aid in the DedSec cause. Take for example the gameplay footage revealed during E3 2019 where the main protagonist begins a hunt to find a civilian that is hand with hacking drones. During the mission, our protagonist dies but instead of a typical game over screen, we are instantly swapped to another formerly recruited member to complete the task. As a result, players may be able to fre...

Skull & Bones Game

Image
We’ve been waiting for Ubisoft to drop Skull & Bones for a good while now. The video game has been delayed for a couple of years now, but there is a push to get it out in 2020. If you’re unfamiliar with the game, Skull & Bones is an upcoming open-world naval warfare game. Players take on the role of a pirate captain who sets off into the open seas in search of treasure and loots to steal. From the footage shown so far, Ubisoft is opting to give players a strategic game as well as not only will you have to deal with other pirates but government ships. One of the examples Ubisoft has shown when it comes to Skull & Bones is that players can attempt to fool an opposing ship by raising their flags. Likewise, you’ll have to make note of the landmasses as you can make use of cover from land or attempt to cut off an enemy around an island. Even though publisher/developer Ubisoft will be releasing five AAA games by March 2021, we now know not to expect Splinter Cell, Beyond Good and...

Gods & Monsters Game

Image
The same team who worked on Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is working on a new IP known as Gods & Monsters. Within the game, players will take on the role of a young boy who is the world’s last chance when it comes to defeating a horrible monster known as Typhon. The gods have been defeated but has supplied our protagonist with the tools needed to face against the monsters that flock the lands. One of the elements you likely see right away that the visuals of the game look similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Likewise, this game is going to be set within an open world that is not only filled with mythical creatures to fight but dungeons to clear and puzzles to solve. Gods & Monsters  gameplay and features While we haven't seen proper gameplay footage yet, we have a few ideas of what to expect from this action-adventure title. The entire world is designed to look like it was painted. The big bad of the game is Typhon, who has defeated the Olympian pantheon. Your ult...

Dying Light 2 Game

Image
                                                  Dying Light 2 was unveiled during E3 2018 where we are once again tossed into the zombie apocalyptic world and forced to fight for survival. Players will be in a new city location where factions are at a constant battle to retain control of the area. However, the developers are giving players more freedom as they can choose to go down a variety of pathways though they will all have their own particular consequences.                                                                                                       ...

Cyberpunk 2077 Game

Image
Cyberpunk 2077 has been a highly anticipated video game title from development studio CD Projekt Red. The same folks that brought out the successful RPG series, The Witcher, is bringing out a futuristic open-world dystopia for players to enjoy. In this game, players will be taking on the role of a mercenary that relies on street cred to get new jobs and offers from different companies. Also, a large part of this game is focused on choices and allowing the players to determine the best way in their opinion to handle the situation at hand. This game is also set in an open world environment and it’s quite lived in. From the footage shown off so far, there appears to be plenty of NPCs going through their own daily routine and likewise, the city itself will be filled with buildings that players can enter. In my opinion, we’ve only scraped the surface so far as to what all we can expect from this in-game world such as the augmentations you can acquire, the gangs you’ll run into and the rand...
