The 15 Most Anticipated Video Games of 2020

From Avengers to Halo Infinite to Animal Crossing, these are the games we can’t wait to play.

2019 may not go down as one of the best years in gaming, but hey, at least we got Untitled Goose Game. The 2010s, however, represented a large step forward for the industry, with titles like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the Batman: Arkham series, and Last of Us raising the bar for the medium overall. Now, we’re heading into a new decade. The console market is quickly shifting. The Xbox Series X is bringing heavy-duty tech that rivals the power of even the strongest PC towers. But offerings like the Nintendo Switch are showing triple-A companies that gamers don’t always want to be tied down by their big console boxes. Google recognized that and just established the first competitive console offering that is virtually console free, Stadia; it’s completely web-based. So there’s really no telling where the industry is heading in the coming years.

Thankfully, regardless of where it goes, we already know that there are some fantastic video games in our near future. Between forward-thinking VR titles, indie games, long-anticipated triple-A franchises, and a new Animal Crossing (!!), 2020 looks like it’s going to be a good year. Even considering all the delays. And who knows, we may even get a Breath of the Wild 2.

Iron Man VR

Release Date: February 28
Platform: PSVR

PRE-ORDER

Everyone can join VR games these days. Marvel has tried it a few times before, but Iron Man VR seems to really be able to make some noise. Ideas just feel right. With a helmet and two handhelds, it’s like VR for Ironman.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Release Date: March 20
Platform: Nintendo Switch

PRE-ORDER

A new crossing animal! 2020! For Nintendo Switch! Gamers will be happy for this. It will be a cultural revelation. It will inspire a new holiday, called the National Gamers’ Day. Once a year, gamers will celebrate that glory as Animal Crossing.

Doom Eternal

Release Date: March 20
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch

PRE-ORDER

I don’t know how many times the world needs to be saved from demons, but it seems the destruction hasn’t stopped yet. Fortunately, this is a very interesting direct sequel to restarting Doom from 2016. So it will probably be a hell of a good time (sorry).

Resident Evil 3

Release Date: April 3
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC

PRE-ORDER

Resident Evil games continue to be made and remade, many times, over the years. Capcom’s latest entertainment game targeted 1999 games on the PS3. This time, the zombies looked even more spooky than before. Somehow after all these years, these games are still very good and extremely spooky.

Final Fantasy VII

Release Date: April 10
Platform: PS4

PRE-ORDER

The seventh entry in the Final Fantasy series is one of the most beloved video games in industry history. We waited years to remake, and it’s finally here. Let’s hope Square Enix can really pull it off.

The Last of Us Part II

Release Date: May 29
Platform: PS4

PRE-ORDER

The Last of Us is one of the most influential games of the past few decades. It not only changes the landscape of the industry but it also moves legally. Predictions are high for this.

Marvel’s Avengers

Release Date: September 4
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Google Stadia

PRE-ORDER

This is the last game that can disrupt gaming. Square Enix’s new Avengers titles, and Crystal Dynamics, will be released on May 15 … and then continue to be updated … indefinitely. And not just with small DLC updates. It will receive new characters, stories, and quests, so there’s no reason to do a sequel. This could change the way the whole industry works.

Cyberpunk 2077

Release Date: September 17
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Google Stadia

PRE-ORDER

Keanu Reeves is present in this game. Keanu Reeves. He is in this game. Who is in this game? Keanu Reeves !!!

Halo Infinite

Release Date: Winter 2020
Platform: Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC

Hey! They’re still making Halo games! It’s still a thing! The classic shooter that first brought you and your friends into the world of online gaming is coming back for a sixth entry into the main series. Just when we thought it was time to say goodbye to the franchise, Microsoft will unveil yet another promising sequel that will have fans saying “Halo!” (sorry again).

Destroy All Humans!

Release Date: 2020
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC

PRE-ORDER

In most video games, you are saving people. In this game, you are killing them. With a ray gun. The remake of THQ romp will allow you, once again, to destroy the world as a wise little alien guy. It’s about time.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

Release Date: 2020
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch

PRE-ORDER

Somehow, after all these years, LEGO continues to create the best Star Wars games. Their little toy adventure is hilarious, stupid and irresistible just like the movies. This game boasts a comprehensive story set by the Vikings to tell the story of the Skywalker family from start to finish.

No More Heroes 3

Release Date: 2020
Platform: Nintendo Switch

PRE-ORDER

It has been 10 years since the last No More Heroes game. The stylized franchise is coming back, and it looks great, but I really don’t know what this game is since I went to my high school classmate’s house to check, he never let me play. . I hope it’s good. He always seemed happy.

Watch Dogs Legion

Release Date: 2020
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Google Stadia

PRE-ORDER

Finally hackers have their very own video game franchise. This open-world co-op game seems to be the best game ever made. You can hack everything in sight and it allows you to play as a bunch of hackers from all over a surveillance state in London. I can wait to hack!

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Release Date: TBA
Platform: PC, macOS, Linux, Nintendo Switch

Hollow Knight is one of those indie games that all your cool indie gamer friends always tell you to play. It’s the kind of game that, when you actually end up buying it, makes you mad, because the game is as good as they said it is, and you hate when they’re right. Anyway, this one’s the sequel to the first one.

Overwatch 2

Release Date: TBA
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch

What is Overwatch 2? We have no idea! It looks just like Overwatch 1! It seems like there’s finally going to be a single-player campaign in this one, so that’s exciting. Fortnite stole a big part of Overwatch’s fanbase, so maybe with a more dedicated single-player focus, the OG whimsical shooter can win some fans back. Hopefully. Fortnite is getting annoying as hell. 2020 cannot come sooner!
