Wonderlands will feature treasures, monsters, and even a Dragon Lord to boot, so quite the detour from the core series. There will also be a standalone version of GTA Online arriving for the new-gen machine. R is back with the highly-anticipated sequel that will see players returning to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. This time around its even more dangerous, filled with mutants, anomalies, and a whole load of radiation. R 2 will see you have to find your way through the Zone or be lost to it forever.
Star Trek: Resurgence is a brand new third person, choice-driven adventure, from a team of former Telltale developers.
Set within the Star Trek universe, you'll meet some new and other more familiar faces as you take on the roles of First Officer Jara Rydek and Engineering Crewperson Carter Diaz, as they navigate a mystery involving two alien civilizations on the brink of war.
Arkane Austin is making a brand new title called Redfall. It's an open-world, co-operative shooter set in the titular town of Redfall, on an island in Massachusetts. But, this usually sleepy town is under siege by vampires. They've blocked out the sun, and cut off access to the island. So now you, and a band of survivors must learn how to take them down.
Thankfully, you've got some awesome weapons on your side like UV blasters, stake guns, and magic, to help you. You can play them in any order, and there will be playable characters to switch through. It's going to be a Lego Star Wars game like no other, and it looks phenomenal.
Saints Row is back with a brand new reboot of the series, taking us back to the beginning for an origin story that explores the roots of the gang. You'll start with a small team of four, operating out of a fictional city called Santo Ileso, and it'll be up to you how you make your mark on the town.
Completing against rival gangs, you'll need to build up your own criminal empire of your choosing. It's still fun and playful in tone, but a little more grown up this time around too. As Bethesda's first new IP in over a decade, there's already a lot of pressure riding on Starfield.
And now, it's been confirmed that it will count among the upcoming Xbox Series X games. All we have to go on as to what the game is that it's sci-fi RPG set somewhere in space, and you can play as whoever you want to be. From the brilliant flash of light that quickly devours a space station and a planet though in the original teaser trailer, it's clear something is going down in space town. Sonic's off on his biggest adventure yet, with an 'open zone' game that will see the blue blur exploring a new - and stunning - locale called the Starfall Islands.
You'll have enemies to face as you zoom through too, so expect this to be quite the experience. There's a new Batman game en route, but unfortunately, Batman's dead, leaving the four Gotham Knights to pick up protecting Gotham City. Join Tess and her mother Opal on a road trip to discover a whole raft of family secrets. After discovering hidden notes and letters in their home, the mother-daughter duo must travel to long-abandoned family residences to reveal the buried family secrets.
They'll embark upon a "journey into the past they'll never forget". The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has been unveiled as another of the upcoming Xbox Series X games, with a vague release date. Launching as a direct sequel to the original game, A Plague Tale: Requiem will continue the story of brother and sister duo Hugo and Amicia.
The iconic rat swarm is still a huge threat, as is the Inquisition. But this will provide an epic finale to the duo's tale, as they seek to look after each other in this brutal, uncaring world. A multiplayer game with a difference, Party Animals will see you trying to cause carnage as adorable fluffy, plushie critters including corgis, otters, and dinosaurs and more. There are over different ways to mess with your friends both offline and online, both in terms of eliminations, or by using teamwork.
Move over chicken dinners, it's all about the gummy bear in Party Animals. This new sci-fi adventure comes from Jumpship, a new developer studio that's been built in partnership with the ex-CEO and co-founder of Playdead. This game though, Somerville, is set in the wake of a catastrophe, as our family and their dog try to unravel the mysteries of Earth's visitors.
This new locale comes with a batch new slimes, including cotton slimes, angler slimes, batty slimes, and flutter slimes.
You'll be collecting them in all your new conservatory farm in the sequel to the gloriously adorable ranching sim. The Callisto Protocol is the spiritual successor to Dead Space in all but name. It's a brand new survival horror game from Glen Schofield's own studio, Striking Distance. Set on Jupiter's moon in , you'll face horrific monsters and a conspiracy to cover, which starts at the dangerous Black Iron Prison.
This third-person horror is bound to terrify, especially as Schofield aims to keep plenty of mystery around the game between now and release. A game about the Suicide Squad set in the Batman: Arkham universe? Yes please. Well, thankfully, that's exactly what Rocksteady's making. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has got player co-op, the same playful tone, and plenty of excellent casting.
You can switch between them at any time, and it looks beautifully chaotic. Aiming to give fans the opportunity to attend the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for themselves, Hogwart Legacy is an open-world action RPG based on the lore of the Harry Potter series. It's set in the s though, so several hundred years before Harry and co enrol, but that doesn't mean there won't be magic to discover.
In fact, you're a student with an unusual affiliation with Ancient Magic as you live at Hogwarts. Make allies, battle Dark wizards, and more when Hogwarts Legacy arrives sometime in This first-person, action-adventure will have you protecting this living and reactive world against formidable RDA forces. This is a standalone story, not connected to the movies too.
This is a shooter heavily influenced by Alien designer and spooky painter H. So think boney, fleshy, internal organ themes for interior designs. Guns apparently made out of bits of raw chicken and gristle. Wholesome stuff. Pragmata feels like if someone took Kojima's Death Stranding and somehow made it even weirder - especially from this early look at the game.
Clearly set in New York, the game sees some sort of spacesuit-wearing traveller looking out for a young girl, and eventually taking her to the moon. Holographic cats, robots, and a weird dystopian vibe run throughout, even suggesting the world the characters are existing in isn't even real. We're intrigued by this one. Alan Wake is back at long, long last, some 11 years after the original game's release. Remedy Entertainment is bringing back our favourite writer for a sequel, but this time it's going to be a true survival horror title, with the developer promising a "chilling experience" along with the "familiar psychological horror elements".
And, yes, the flashlight is also back. A surprise sequel to Hellblade was revealed alongside the Xbox Series X itself. Called Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, we don't know actually that much about the game's story yet. The trailer itself doesn't give too much away — apart from the fact it looks fantastically glorious running in-engine — it definitely feels like it takes the same dark, terrifying tone as its source material. It's got foreboding bonfires, weird-ass chanting, and more, which all suggest yet another harrowing journey for our heroine.
Okay, okay, so neither Rare nor Microsoft have said that Everwild is an upcoming Xbox Series X game, but unless it surprise-drops in the next few weeks before next-gen, it almost certainly will be. This is a brand new IP from Rare — the developer behind Sea of Thieves, Banjo-Kazooie, Battletoads, and more — and all we have so far is the above trailer. It's filled with colorful and fantastical creatures that interact with humans cautiously in a slightly otherworldly setting.
It's not clear yet what kind of game it'll be, but there's clearly a threat from predators in this world too. Whatever form it eventually takes, it's clear that it's going to be a beauty. Like the first game this is about crafting a supernatural character whose abilities shape your approach to its open missions - you can fight, sneak, or talk your way through a world of turf wars, subterfuge and political machinations, with you actions affecting everyone around you.
Set in the American Southwest, as Dusk Falls is a multi-generational story that begins with two families caught up in a hostage situation. The story that unfolds takes place over decades and explores how mistakes can be passed on from generation to generation. This is another first-person RPG that will no doubt build on the studio's penchant for epic adventures filled with memorable characters and a hint of the silly.
We're off to a fantasy world called Eora for this one, and it looks pretty darn impressive, if much darker in tone than we'd usually expect from Obsidian. You've got magical abilities, a really cool sword and you will find yourself facing some seriously big monsters by the looks of things too. That's right folks. Fable is officially coming, and it's not quite the Fable 4 sequel we were expecting. It'll be up to you to define what sort of crime empire they build though, with the city of Santo Ileso yours to take for yourself - well if you can get by the other gangs of course.
You'll play as The Hunter, the first fully customizable Marvel character, and you'll be leading a selection of heroes from a pick of 12 against Lillith, Mother of Demons. Same turn-based combat you know and love from Firaxis, but on a whole new scale. A narrative adventure where we play as a family trying to survive amidst a sci-fi catastrophe. The beautifully stylized Somerville looks like another agonizingly stressful narrative journey as we follow a family through a major disaster.
At least we have until to prepare. A chaotic physics-based brawler with adorable pudgy animals and absurd weaponry. Party Animals is the latest in a long line of physics-based chaos machines but stands out with its frankly adorable roster of characters.
A dinosaur called Underbite, Carrot the bunny, and Otta the, well, otter are all waiting for you to arm them with crossbows and kill each other in hilarious ways.
How could we disappoint them? A trip back to the rat-infested world of 14th century France with a pair of young siblings. A Plague Tale: Requiem though will continue to follow brother and sister duo Hugo and Amicia as they, this time, try and escape a curse. What to look out for: Although it's been delayed, and delayed, you should still be excited about Skull and Bones.
Taking inspiration, and source material, from the naval combat sections of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Skull and Bones is all about making masts crumble into matchsticks, bringing multiplayer to that watery combat with big boats and a lot of loot. There's a single-player campaign too, where you can practice your best Jack Sparrow impression, we're just not sure when you'll actually get to play it.
What to look out for: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 throws you into the seedy underbelly of Seattle where creatures roam, but thankfully you're a vampire. Turned as an act of vampire terrorism during the 'Mass Embrace', you'll soon get caught up in vampire faction politics, where you're still just trying to deal with your new way of life.
This is an RPG at its core too, filled with player choices, a strong narrative, and branching dialogue options too. What to look out for: Okay, so technically this is really for our list of upcoming Xbox Series X games, but we have a sneaking suspicion it may well also launch across the Xbox One family too.
The sequel, called Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, is a bit of a mystery right now. It all suggests another harrowing journey for our troubled hero. The long looooooong awaited prequel to the last-last-gen classic. What to look out for: Space monkeys. A vast sector of the universe to explore with your ever-expanding ship crew. Gameplay that scales from ground-level, action-adventure to full-scale, interstellar flight. A densely textured, philosophically fuelled civilization that explores slavery, control, genetic engineering, cultural cross-pollination, and all the long-term, spiraling knock-on effects that come with that.
