The Dragon Age franchise received a new title announcement during The Game Awards 2018 though we didn’t get a ton of information. It appears that the game will be called Dragon Age: The Dread Wolf Rises and will be taking place after the last DLC events of Dragon Age: Inquisition, we’ll avoid spoiling anything for now if you have yet to try the game out.
As mentioned this is just a small teaser, something essentially to confirm that BioWare is working on the game and they are not ready to really reveal just what gamers can expect from the upcoming adventure quite yet. We’re not even positive if this game will be released in 2019 but on the chance it is then we suggest keeping an eye out for more information in the coming months.
Gears of War 5
- Developer: The Coalition
- Publisher: Microsoft Studios
- Platforms: XBO, PC
- Release: 2019
Gears of War 5, which is also known simply as Gears 5, will follow a female protagonist Kait Diaz. So far what we know about the game is that the story will follow Kait as she embarks away from COG, or known as The Coalition of Ordered Governments Army. Apparently, within the game, Kait has been dealing with visions that may take her journey to showcase truth behind the origins of the Locust.
Gameplay seems to be inline with the past installments. Players will be going through cover-based combat while also sawing through hostilities. This game, much like other video game titles on this list offer a multiplayer component but you can still enjoy the game as a single-player experience.

- Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO
- Release: 2019
You’re likely already aware of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. This game has been anticipated since its announcement, especially because other single-player focused Star Wars titles prior to this announcement have been killed off. At any rate, Respawn Entertainment has had a good track record so far with video game titles though they have been working on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and slowly been releasing information regarding the game. What we know so far is that this game will take place right after Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.
Players will be following a padawan that managed to escape Order 66 which has slain a great amount of the Jedi across the galaxy. Now with Jedi being hunted down, players will have to live in secrecy as they attempt to hone in their force powers and Jedi teachings. Best of all for fans of single-player video game titles then you’ll be delighted to know that this game doesn’t feature any multiplayer component. Instead, you’re going to have a longer action-adventure campaign focus.
The Last Of Us Part 2

- Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
- Platforms: PS4
- Release: TBA
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.
Luckily Naughty Dog was willing to explore this world once again with the upcoming sequel likely to launch at some point in 2019. Not too many details have been released in regards to this sequel other than that Ellie and Joel will return with a time jump of five years. Furthermore, from the gameplay shown off, Ellie appears to still be quite useful in taking down hostile threats along with maneuvering through overgrown terrains.
