Mobile Devices – Consoles post-2020
To celebrate 10 years of League of Legends, Riot Games announced a slew of new content. One of the most exciting reveals was a League of Legends game for mobile devices and consoles. Don’t worry—it’s not just a port of the PC game. While this version will feature the same core game we know and love, there will be plenty of new improvements, mechanics, animations, and more.

2. Cyberpunk 2077 – April 16, 2020

Keanu Reeves is in it. That fact alone has gotten fans everywhere excited about this new open-world action-adventure game. But we have a lot more to look forward to than him; the game is said to break the bounds of an RPG and be one of the most complex, in-depth, and visually stunning games ever made.
3. Dying Light 2 – TBD 2020
Xbox One – PS4 – PC
We’ve seen plenty of zombie games, but none quite like this. This exciting sequel will highlight agility and brutal combat and will change dramatically based on the decisions you make as Aiden, an infected survivor. Luckily, you don’t have to face this dangerous world alone—you can play the entire campaign with up to 4-player co-op.
4. Halo Infinite – Late 2020
Next Generation Xbox
For Halo fans, there’s no need to hype this up—they’re already excited. In this iteration, Master Chief will play a more central role. It will be launching on the upcoming next-generation Xbox, which will only make it more exciting.

It promises to feature nearly every Star Wars character imaginable and a huge map. Get excited Star Wars fans, this one is sure to be a memorable game.
6. Marvel’s Avengers – May 15, 2020
Xbox One – PS4 – PC – Google Stadia
Marvel is one of the biggest franchises today but has lacked solid games to go along with it. This title hopes to change that. Featuring both single-player mode and the ability to play with your friends in certain parts of the game, Marvel’s Avengers will feature a brand-new story line that doesn’t follow any Marvel film. Players will get the chance to reassemble the disbanded Avengers, fight a new evil power called A.I.M., and avenge Captain America’s death.
7. Gods and Monsters – February 25, 2020
Xbox One – PS4 – PC – Nintendo Switch
The makers of the much-loved Assassin’s Creed Odyssey are going back to the Greek world to bring us this storybook adventure where you set off to save the Greek gods, solve puzzles, and embark on quests. While we don’t know too much about it yet, the beautiful Breath of the Wild-like aesthetic and solid team behind it make this something to look forward to.
8. Skull and Bones – March 2020
Xbox One – PS4 – PC
Pirate games have always been an exciting genre, and this title looks to be no exception. Brought to us by Ubisoft, the makers of the legendary Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, this game will feature exciting and complex naval combat. There will even be a TV show that goes along with the game—a female-driven pirate drama. Hopefully, this game will be a pseudo-follow-up to Black Flag and satisfy the need for more high-seas adventures.
9. Watch Dogs: Legion – March 6, 2020
Xbox One – PS4 – PC
Yet another exciting release from Ubisoft, this new Watch Dogs title will be set in London and features an exciting new mechanic. In this game, you are able to play as any NPC—an ex-spy, a store worker, or even a grandma. This is sure to give the game a unique twist as you fight to free the city.
10. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Quarantine – Early 2020
Xbox One – PS4 – PC
The next installment in the Rainbow Six franchise will feature 3-player teams and gameplay inspired by the Outbreak event. Set a few years in the future, the game will feature an alien virus that players must fight off. The game so far looks intense, exciting, and everything you would expect from Rainbow Six.
