#5 Jedi Fallen Order
- Developer: Respawn Entertainment
- Publisher: Electronic Arts
- Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO
- Release: 2019
The development team responsible for Titanfall has been working on an untitled Star Wars project for a few years now. Until E3 2018, we have been kept in the dark when it comes to the story and gameplay experience players can expect from the title.
While we still don’t have any gameplay footage, screenshots or even a logo to properly showcase for the game, we do know the title is Jedi: Fallen Order. This will be a single-player game that is set after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith as players take on the role of a surviving padawan that is being hunted down. There has been some backlash towards Electronic Arts on how they have handled the Star Wars titles as of late, but there has been some hype and interest over this upcoming title and the secrecy behind it has definitely helped intrigue gamers for its release sometime next year.
#4 Resident Evil 2
- Developer: Capcom
- Publisher: Capcom
- Platforms: PC, XBO, PS4
- Release: January 25, 2019
It was just a few years ago that Capcom revealed that they would be remaking Resident Evil 2 much like how they remade the original Resident Evil title. This is the first time developers have returned to the the game in order to give it a proper HD overhaul for players and during E3 2018, we got our first look at the title.
Not only does Resident Evil 2 look spectacular but it seems that the developers are seeking new ways to bring fans an enjoyable experience. For instance, Capcom is bringing the over-the-should camera view similar to the later Resident Evil titles such as Resident Evil 4 rather than the fixed camera angles.
However, the game narrative still remains the same as players will be taking on the role of Leon and Claire as they make their way through the heavily infected Raccoon City.
#3 The Outer World’s
- Developer: Obsidian Entertainment
- Publisher: Private Division
- Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO
- Release: 2019
Obsidian Entertainment is a well-known and beloved video game development studio after they have released countless iconic RPG titles. For instance, the developers were responsible for Fallout: New Vegas and during The Game Awards 2018 came the announcement of The Outer Worlds. This is a brand new experience which resembles a bit like their past Fallout: New Vegas work. Within the game players will be embarking on an adventure set in the distant future where mankind has colonized space. So far we know that players will be investigating megacorporations to find just how strong of a hold they have on life and the colonized worlds.
Just like with past RPG titles developed under Obsidian Entertainment, the gameplay narrative will present players with multiple answers and options. Depending on the options selected may result in various branching storylines. Unfortunately, we don’t have to many details regarding the game narrative and gameplay mechanics. However, as mentioned, this is an RPG adventure so players can still expect to see various customization options and a massive world to explore.

One of the biggest IPs to release on the Sony PlayStation 3 is Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us. The development team showcased a thrilling narrative mixed with a world we’ve been eager to return since the game launched back in 2013.
Overall, the game is set in a post-apocalyptic world after a disease has turned most of humanity into a fungus type zombie creature. Now with the government in shambles and groups of people seeking a means to survive however possible, players are left with an uphill battle.

- Release: TBA
Best known for their works on The Witcher series, CD Projekt already has a big following on their current project in development. Cyberpunk 2077 was announced back in 2012 though news about the game was scarce. Instead, since its announcement, the focus was put on The Witcher series, though now that the series has finished up, we can expect more announcements and reveals in regards to this upcoming science fiction title.
Cyberpunk 2077 is already confirmed to be an open-world RPG that will be set in the future. Much of the world has been divided into social classes with the lower class subjected to living in harsh old city environments filled with gangs and famine.
