This is a title that has been announced since 2012 though very little information has been revealed. However, with the information we know about the game and the developer’s success with The Witcher series, we’re eagerly waiting to get our hands on the game.

Cyberpunk 2077 is open-world RPG that’s set in the distant future. Apparently, this upcoming title will also be massive and the biggest open-world title that the developers have ever worked on.

The Surge 2

• Developer: Deck13 Interactive
• Publisher: Focus Home Interactive
• Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO
• Release: 2019

Note: Trailer is from The Surge.

In 2017, Deck13 Interactive developed The Surge, a science fiction action RPG which follows a story of humanity, the evolution of technology and the downfall of world resources. For the most part, the game received positive reviews leaving the developer to once again pick up the world and seek out a new installment.

The Surge 2 is slated to release in 2019 where players are set into a broken down city and as a result, level design will be far larger than the areas gamers could roam within the title’s predecessor. Likewise, it seems that combat will also see a more brutal polish this time around, but we’re currently waiting to hear more information on this upcoming title.

• Publisher: Starbreeze Studios

Psychonauts 2 was unveiled in 2015 though, after a few delays with its expected release, the game is looking more like a 2019 release. Within the game, developers Double Fine Productions and game director Tim Schafer is seeking a return to the IP world after the strong demand from the original Psychonaut fanbase.

The game will follow the events from Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin, a PSVR title that was developed to bridge the gap between Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2. This is a platform title where players control Raz, a Psychonaut who uses various Psi-Powers to solve problems and explore the world.

Anthem

The game is set in a futuristic world where humanity is safely tucked away behind a closed off wall. What lurks beyond the wall are hostile alien creatures that could prove the end of humanity that lives on this planet.

From what we know so far, players are a freelancer, a member of an organization that explores the world beyond the walls. However, in order to safely maneuver around the world and deal with the monsters that await your arrival, players will step into a specialized suit known as a Javelin, which look pretty similar to the Iron Man suits from the Marvel franchise.
