![]() It's FromSoftware's next Demon's Souls, a game that could redefine the studio's future. After all, the state of the studio's work before Demon's was very different, albeit familiar - just look at their dungeon crawler, King's Field, a tough-as-nails RPG. FromSoftware has a formula perfected that all its games have been following since Demon's Souls we saw it in Bloodborne and even Sekiro despite them dropping the Souls moniker.īut how many times can you slightly alter that formula before it gets dull? Bloodborne lowered the pool of weapons, opting to make each one more interesting, and it upped aggression in combat Sekiro emphasized story, stealth, duels, and singleplayer, stretching the Souls formula to its limits - it got tough. Most-anticipated open worlds, eh? This list wouldn't be complete without Elden Ring - it just so happens I managed to nab it first. Certainly I'm not, and no one else really matters now, do they? We haven't seen much of Suicide Squad yet, but you get to a) be Harley Quinn and b) beat up Green Lantern, so that's all I need to know. That aside, this Harley doesn't seem all that much like the Arkham Harley, but seven years on since Arkham Knight, I don't think anyone is expecting a faithful sequel that ties everything together. For one thing, this game seems to have colours beyond black, darker black, and even darker black. The tone seems a little off for Arkham, sure.

Suicide Squad however looks excellent, with Rocksteady building upon the Arkhamverse it established with the Batman: Arkham trilogy. MultiVersus also has Harley Quinn in it, but - fun fact! - it looks bad, meaning it's out of the running. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has Harley Quinn in it, which makes it the game of the year. Additionally, Dragon Age 4 will be the first time we get to check out Tevinter, which has been referenced in all games to date, and maybe this means we'll also catch up with Dorian too (another favourite of mine). Either way, I can't wait to catch up with Solas - even though it will be as a completely different protagonist - and try and convince him he is being a wally and should stop. The Trespasser post-launch DLC seemingly set Solas up as the 'big bad' of Dragon Age 4 as he reveals his plans to tear down the veil and destroy the world as we know it, but I'm not actually convinced he will be the main enemy in the sequel. Yeah, we were all pretty shocked, despite the rather obvious clue of Solas being in the place of Judas in the homage to the last supper scene on the back of the game case. The main reason for this is that although both Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2 had some unresolved plot points, Inquisition had a pretty hefty cliffhanger moment of 'Oh, by the way, your ally Solas is actually the elven god Fen'Harel and he kind of made the events of Inquisition happen'. ![]() Knowing that there's a whole new adventure coming, set in the same world, and giving me an opportunity to experience that thrill all over again with new features and more? That's a rare pleasure, and one I cannot wait to have in 2022.ĭragon Age 4 is arguably going to be the most highly anticipated game in the series to date. There's some indescribable magic to BotW, and even though I can't always quite put into words exactly what it is, there have been few games that have ever come close to matching it in the years since. All these years later, I can still go back to it and feel just as happy and satisfied while running around an open-world Hyrule as I did in the early days of its release. But the main reason is this: BotW is still fun. There are plenty of reasons why I, and many other people, are ecstatic about the upcoming sequel. It was only inevitable that the game would eventually receive a sequel, and after what feels like an eternity, that sequel is set for a 2022 release. Very rarely do games capture the magic feeling that the first Breath of the Wild did. As a lifelong, hardcore Zelda fan, I remember tearing up when one of the first trailers for BotW came out and I saw the Master Sword in its pedestal.
