The Medium was first introduced to the world during the Inside Xbox live stream that happened in May of 2020.

Players will be taking the role of a woman that will be going through two different living worlds.

#4 Dying Light 2
- Developer: Techland
- Publisher: Techland
- Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO
- Release: 2020
- Co-op: Online Only 4 Players
- Competitive Multiplayer: N/A
Dying Light will receive a sequel to its franchise in 2020. Players will be taking control of a new protagonist named Aiden Caldwell who will be using his parkour skills to evade the undead threat along with the hostile human factions. Set in a new location called The City, this area may be the last safe structure against the infection threat but don’t expect a small area to explore. The overall map is said to be four times larger than Dying Light and it seems that The City is broken up between factions that control certain areas. A lot of the narrative focuses on players making choices that could completely alter areas of The City and your relationships with select groups of people.
This is still a survival horror game where outside of The City you’ll face a slew of undead. If you recall the original installment, the undead is lethargic during the day, but at night certain strong subtypes emerge which may cause the player to deal with a harder enemy to eliminate along with evading. Luckily, you can get the help of your friends as you make your way through the campaign as Techland is providing four-player cooperative multiplayer support.
#3 Remothered: Broken Porcelain

- Publisher: Modus Games
- Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO, NS
- Release: 2020
- Co-op: N/A
- Competitive Multiplayer: N/A
Remothered: Tormented Fathers was a new survival horror game and it’s going to receive a sequel next year, 2020. The video game is known as Remothered: Broken Porcelain and we got our first trailer during Gamescom 2019. Now the trailer itself didn’t really offer anything in terms of what we can expect from the story or new mechanics, but coming off of Remothered: Tormented Fathers, we can’t see this game being too drastically different.
At any rate, the developers are promoting this game with a thrilling psychological plot set within Ashmann Inn. There are plenty of mysteries scattered within that players will unwind but to do so you’ll need to careful roam within the shadows and prepare to distract enemies. Being a survival horror game, you can also expect challenging puzzles and deep lore.
#2 Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
- Developer: Capcom
- Publisher: Capcom
- Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO
- Release: April 3, 2020
- Co-op: TBA
- Competitive Multiplayer: TBA
Capcom has been doing very well with the Resident Evil franchise as of late. With the seventh mainline installment, developers opted to go back and deliver a game that resembled more of the original survival-horror trouts that fans may have been used to playing back in the day. As a result, fans instantly praised the developers for returning the franchise towards its roots. Likewise, the studio delivered fans with a remake of Resident Evil 2, much like how the studio has done in the past for the original Resident Evil installment.
As a result, there were plenty of requests for Capcom to continue on with this remake success with Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. It’s something that Capcom developers had stated in the past would be a possibility, but it wouldn’t be until December of 2019 that the developers would finally confirm the game is in development. Players will be going through the title as the franchise heroine Jill as she tries to figure out why so many people have been infected in Raccoon City. With the city overturned by undead hordes, Jill will need the help of others attempting to survive while attempting to figure out what is going on with the Umbrella Corps.
#1 The Last of Us Part 2
- Developer: Naughty Dog
- Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
- Platforms: PS4
- Release: May 29, 2020
- Co-op: N/A
- Competitive Multiplayer: TBA
The Last of Us was a massive worldwide hit as it takes us through a deep narrative journey between two unlikely partners, Joel and Ellie. With the world collapsing and humanity fighting off a zombie-like plague, players travel cross-country and experience the harsh realities of a world where rules and laws no longer hold society together. It’s a battle of survival and one that’s got plenty of fans excited to revisit once again with the upcoming sequel.
Several years have passed since the first installment, and in 2020 we’ll get to jump back into the game universe. Players will be taking on the role of Ellie who is dealing with a human cult threat after they’ve killed her love interest. The battle is not longer fueled by survival but hate and you can be sure that there are still creatures lurking about. From the trailers and footage shown off so far, it looks like we’ll be dealing with some new evolutionary type creatures out in the world.

Dino Crisis Fan Remake
- Developer: Team Arklay
- Publisher: Team Arklay
- Platforms: PC
- Release: TBD
- Co-op: TBA
- Competitive Multiplayer: TBA
Look, after years of fans pleading to Capcom in hopes that they would make a triumphant return to the Dino Crisis franchise and deliver a remake much like how they handled Resident Evil, we’ve been met with pretty much silence. It’s a rather short series that didn’t hit the strides of Resident Evil so while Capcom may not be interested in taking a risk of delivering a game from a series that may have a niche fanbase.
Also, we know, the chances of this game actually releasing is a long shot. You have a small team of fans working on this passion project knowing that Capcom could deliver the takedown notice at any moment. However, for Dino Crisis fans out there, this may be the best chance of getting something new after years of waiting. So with that said, don’t hold your breath on this game but the work showcased has looked quite promising.
