Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle 

Release Date: 29th August 2017

Mario & Rabbids crossover game never crossed my mind one bit. Now that I think about it, I wouldn’t believe it would happen at all as the idea of putting menacing Rabbids in Mario world or vice versa would sound incredibly bonkers. And yet… it exist. Introducing the turn based tactical rpg Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle where bunch of menacing Rabbids in Mario. Princess Peach & Yoshi costumes team up with Mario & Friends to defeat other menacing Rabbids enemies. Totally unexpected & should be pretty interesting.

Release Date: Early 2018

Speaking of unexpected, The Crew 2 is a huge departure from its predecessor. Instead of being undercover, escaping from law enforcement, illegal racing or bringing in justice, this time you’ll be racing professionally for the world to see. While it maintains the open-world aspect, vehicle racing has been expanded beyond street racing, which includes 4x4 buggies, dirt bikes & more. Did I mentioned that you get to race boats & airplanes? Yes, you’re not limited to race on land only. The previous game require constant internet connection, so I wouldn’t be surprised that this game would follow suit.

Transference

Release Date: Spring 2018

Elijah Wood’s development studio, SpectreVision, created somewhat curious & creepy looking VR game. I’m unable to comprehend what going on in the trailer, so I assumed this is some sort of horror, psychological thriller type of game. Some of the details that were revealed that it will have a multi-branch narrative that would somehow affect the outcome based on your selected actions. Probably it’ll make some sense once it is explained in the future.

Beyond Good & Evil 2

Release Date: TBA…Hopefully not in development hell…again

Beyond Good & Evil is a great game despite being a commercial flop at launch. It does create a cult following over the years as players discovered how well thought out the games is. It was a surprise that Ubisoft dropped a teaser trailer for Beyond Good & Evil 2 in 2008..but nothing happen after that. Fast forward to E3 2017,  Ubisoft revealed Beyond Good & Evil 2 announcement trailer. But no release date was mentioned, so  I was cautiously optimistic about it. Beyond Good & Evil 2 is a prequel to the first game. The game feature a new environment & new characters. The detail is quite scarce so we’ll have to wait & see if Ubisoft decided not to put the game in development hell…again.

Knack 2

Release Date: 5th September 2017

Mark Cerny’s game Knack is getting a sequel treatment, Knack 2. The game is largely similar to its predecessor, but with much needed improvements. For starters, players can choose 4 difficulty levels which provide players some challenges without the unnecessary frustration instead of its predecessor that only comes either frustratingly difficult or insultingly easy. Combat system also being revamped with plenty of ways to attack which can be upgraded as opposed to just 3 punches & 1 kick. Overall, the game has more depth & should be fun to play.

Gran Turismo Sport

Release Date: Fall 2017

I was disappointed when I heard the game was being delayed with the beta being cancelled last year. I worried that the game would be delayed into oblivion like Polyphony Digital did with Gran Turismo 5. But things have changed over time as Polyphony Digital working hard to polish the game & getting feedbacks from roadshows, gaming events and beta program that is ongoing currently. Thing just get better from here onwards with the announcement of Porsche’s inclusion in the game. Now we have an estimated release window coming this year.

Detroit Become Human

Release Date: 2018

What started as PS3 tech demo, now it has certainly becoming a fully fleshed out game. First, we were introduced Kara, an android with artificial consciousness who is trying to find her place in the society. Second, Connor, and android police who investigate rouge androids. Now, Markus, an android who is fighting for android freedom. These 3 androids have story of their own that would likely cross path later as the story progresses. Like Quantic Dream’s previous titles such as Heavy Rain & Beyond Two Souls, player would need to make a decision that would affect the event in the game.

Spider-Man

Release Date: 2018

Spider-man games over the years has been disappointing. Under Insomniac Games, do we finally get a good Spider-man game? The game features open world environment for Spider-man to swing around & interact with. Spider-man will have multiple ways to deal with enemies, such as melee combat, disable enemies using web shooters or using web shooter to manipulate object around him. Interesting enough, Spider-man game doesn’t allow players to kill, for instance when an enemy fall off from high places to a certain death, Spider-man prevents it by slinging the enemy back up. The gameplay appears to be fluid & with New York City to explore, I have high expectation for this game.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Release Date: Late 2017

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the latest instalment of Xenoblade series, however, the game isn’t a sequel or a prequel. The story sets in a new world with new characters.

Another noticeable change in the game are the character designs with anime-like features.  This large scale JRPG is an awesome addition to Nintendo Switch line-up.
