Elden Ring
Given that George R.R. Martin, author of the A Game of Thrones books, apparently wrote the overarching storyline of the game, we couldn’t be more excited to see what Elden Ring is all about. For now, it seems to be swathed in mystery, so there isn’t much information about its gameplay, setting or protagonists. All that’s common knowledge is that the game will be an action RPG and is likely set in a Norse open world.

It’s time to get ready to slaughter some more demons! The third installment in the series, Shadow Warrior 3 features tons of first-person shooting, colorful graphics, and plenty of humor. Just what we’ve come to know and love from Shadow Warrior!
Phantom Brigade
If the trailer is anything to go by, Phantom Brigade offers up a cinematic spin on the RPG genre. The storylines are very player-driven, with a focus on customization which makes the experience that much more immersive. In this game, your mission will be to lead the Brigade through many tribulations in order to take back their homeland.
Cyberpunk 2077
Although already released at the very end of 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 deserves a mention on this list! From the team behind the hugely popular Witcher 3 comes this incredible open world game that sees you play as a mercenary outlaw that needs to find a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality.
