The 44 games we can't wait to play in 2016
Session 6
21. Gears of War 4 (Xbox One - 2016)
This will be the first new release in the brutally violent action series since Microsoft acquired the brand. That means it’s being developed by a new studio called The Coalition, not Epic Games, much in the way 343 Industries took over the fourth Halo game. No matter who is making it, though, you can expect the return of chainsaw guns.
22 . Gravity Rush 2 (PS4 - 2016)
The original Gravity Rush was a fantastic game that was relegated to a cult classic, largely because it was only available on the oft-forgotten PlayStation Vita. For the sequel — which looks to build on the original’s gravity-shifting combat action — the series is moving to the PS4, where it will hopefully find a larger audience.
23. Hitman (PS4, Xbox One, PC - March 11th)
It’s been a few years since we’ve seen a new Hitman game — not including the inventive mobile spinoff Hitman Go — a series about pulling off cold-blooded murder with brutal efficiency. The new prequel will continue the trend toward giving you lots of freedom in terms of how you go about your job, offering large sandboxes to explore and multiple routes to take.
24. Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4 - 2016)
Video games don’t have enough dinosaurs in them — and they definitely come up short when it comes to robot dinosaurs. Horizon Zero Dawn is an action game about surviving a strange post-apocalyptic future, brought to you by the team behind the Killzone series of shooters. It may take place 1,000 years in the future, but that doesn’t mean you can’t play as a badass cavewoman.
