The hype around this game has been huge, and there’s not long to go now in the countdown to the release of Spider-Man on PS4. Stepping up from Marvel’s classic comic-book Spiderman, gamers will see a far more experienced crime-fighting superhero with an arsenal of combat moves. Developers have stayed true to Peter Parker’s backstory in offering a mix of character-driven gameplay and fast-paced action, while managing to incorporate a brand-new Spidey suit and other new abilities. True fans are eagerly awaiting the official release date, but you’ll want to get in early with a pre-order to have access to the full range of bonus content.
The 12th game in the hugely popular Lara Croft Tomb Raider series, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, is set in the deadly jungles of Mesoamerica and South America as Lara continues her battle against the Trinity organization. Sneak previews show a fantastic mix of action and exploration, with some fun supernatural themes and puzzling side quests. The lost Mayan and Aztec civilizations come to life, and Lara finally claims her title as the ultimate tomb raider. The developers have revealed new game mechanics will include a movement overhaul, dynamic difficulty tailoring, and an optional Immersion Mode which will set all background conversation to the characters’ native language. With development wrapped up earlier this month, all fans need to do now is keep an eye out for more teasers as they count down to the official release.
The centuries-old struggle between the Assassins and the Templars continues in Ubisoft’s upcoming release. This time, the fight is set in Ancient Greece in the year 431 BC during the height of the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens. Odyssey looks set to offer the most open-world RPG experience of the Assassin’s Creed game series so far. Players will be offered a choice of playing either as a male (Alexios) or female (Kassandra) outcast warrior descended from King Leonidas. Each character will be customizable with a choice of abilities and weapons to suit a range of playstyles. Plus, with over 30 hours of in-game dialogue, where every choice leads to new adventures with multiple game endings, gamers should expect a high replay value. Developers are promising dangerous mythical creatures, mercenaries, mysterious ancient cults, naval combat, sunken ruins, hidden treasure, and epic battles – everything you’d want to see from one of the all-time most popular game series ever released. With the countdown on for an October release, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is set to be a serious 2018 GOTY contender.
Battlefield V has created some serious hype in recent months. With their latest, and most highly anticipated release so far, the hugely successful Battlefield franchise is aiming for heightened realism, player customization, and unique storylines. Developers are offering multiple game modes for both single-player and multiplayer with a combination of specific campaign objectives and continuous play options. The special effects look incredible and the raw soundscape brings the battle to life. With all the grit and action of frontline World War II conflict and the added bonus of diverse and innovative characters, weapons and vehicles, this release has everyone counting down. With staggered release dates, eager subscribers who pre-ordered with the Enlister Offer will be playing on October 11, 2018. Those that pre-order the Deluxe version will have access on October 16, with the general worldwide release for all platforms on October 19. Deluxe preorders will also get access to a whole host of customizations and in-game special assignments, so if this video game is on your wishlist, get in early and set your clocks to countdown to the October 16 release.
After the stunning success of Red Dead Redemption in 2010, this upcoming release has been highly anticipated by console gamers since Rockstar Games first hinted at a new release back in 2016. RDR2 will see players return to the Old West as outlaw Arthur Morgan in a prequel to the original Red Dead Redemption. The game will have both single-player and online multiplayer options, and looks set to offer a breathtaking cinematic experience. If you’ve been impatiently waiting for a truly immersive Western-themed RPG adventure, or even if you just like some good guns-blazing, horse-romping action set in a diverse and interactive world, this is a release date to put in your calendar.
Set in the ruined wastelands of a post-apocalyptic Russia, Metro Exodus picks up two years after the closing scenes of Metro: Last Light. In this epic, story-driven adventure that spans the course of an entire year, players continue their role as 23-year-old Artyom as he leads his band of Rangers across the Russian wilderness. Metro Exodus trailers reveal intense combat against mutated beasts and some serious paranormal horror. But developers have managed to balance this incarnation of their first-person shooter franchise with incredible scenery, immersive sandbox exploration, and non-linear level progression, all within a stunning world rich with customized weaponry and dynamic environmental elements. Fans of richly atmospheric, story-driven, first-person shooters need to keep an eye on the countdown to this one. Metro Exodus is going to be the one game in 2019 that you’ll want to play before everyone else does.
In the direct sequel to Doom (2016), Doom Eternal will continue with its hugely popular aggressive FPS combat style but with a host of new content. After a big reveal at Quake Con 2018, their latest gameplay trailers and sneak previews have revealed some massively overpowered weapons, a host of new demons, more diverse worlds, and new movement mechanics to make gameplay more flexible. In a move that’s sure to please fans, on top of their line-up of awesome new enemies, the developers are also bringing back some old favorites. Doom Eternal is the first game due for release with the new id Tech 7 game engine. Its promising 10x the geometric detail and texture fidelity of their already groundbreaking id Tech 6, so Doom Slayers can look forward to combat scenes with huge visual impact. Gamers will have to wait and see what the new in-house multiplayer development team is working on with their move away from SnapMap and a new PvP component in the works, but Doom Eternal is looking set to be one of the biggest releases of 2019.
So far, Techland’s unveiling of their highly anticipated sequel to Dying Light has revealed a more RPG and sandbox approach to their open-world survival adventure. Fans of the original will be pleased to know they’ll be playing in an equally bleak and decaying metropolis infested with zombies, but this time it’ll be four times the size. Fast-paced parkour and up-close melee combat will be featured just as heavily as in the original, and with a few new surprises for co-op players. Best of all, the developers have listened to their fans and this time around are offering players more freedom in their fight to survive the zombie hordes. Dying Light 2’s apocalyptic world will offer more choice-based mechanics to deliver a unique gaming experience for every player. Keep an eye out for an official release date because Dying Light 2 definitely looks to be a game worth counting down to.
