The 30 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2017

Halo Infinite is probably one of the most anticipated titles of 2021 across the board. It was supposed to launch with the Xbox Series X/S, but was delayed shortly after its most recent trailer was poorly received by fans. Fortunately, it looks like it's going to finally launch in 2021 - perhaps some time around Halo Day (July 7). Regardless of its exact release date, we're very excited for one more opportunity to gear up with Battle Rifles and Energy Swords in an attempt to take down The Covenant.


The universe of Halo beyond the games is vast, with many characters and stories that wouldn't fit into the confines of a first-person shooter. Halo: Fractures is a short story collection that reads like a primer on the greater universe. Each bite-sized story is written by a different author and serves as a gateway to a whole other branch of novels and extended fiction. Several of the stories, like Into the Fire and Promises to Keep , serve as connective tissue between other novels and introduce characters that have years of stories ahead of them. Because of this, Fracture Tenrai Rewards the book serves as the ultimate sampler platter, a season of variety TV all about introducing someone to every corner of a franchise that is about much more than just shooting Halo's aliens in their weak poin


The Xbox PC app has also been rebranded recently as well to the Xbox Console Companion, which could mean news about how Game Pass Ultimate and this new iteration of the app are going to function. On the hardware front, we would also be expecting to hear about the next-gen consoles that Xbox have on the frontlines. After this year's less than impactful Xbox One S All-Digital launch and lukewarm reception , Microsoft will likely be looking to redeem itself on the hardware front especially after Sony has been firing on all cylinders about the PlayStation 5 and its processing power in the lead-up to

The Medium piqued the interest of players all over the world almost immediately after its first trailer launched. A psychological horror game from Bloober Team, The Medium cleverly juxtaposes a real-world setting with the spirit realm, both of which are traversable by its protagonist, Marianne. This is definitely one to watch out for, if only for its evident ambition.

Arkane has consistently been one of the most intriguing studios in the whole industry for years, so it suffices to say that I'm fairly excited for Deathloop. In case you haven't heard of it yet, Deathloop is a time-bending, mind-boggling shooter set on an island where eight people relive the exact same party every night. You play as an assassin who has been tasked with taking them out - but you've got a pretty limited amount of time to do so, and the island of Blackreef has its own plans...

Hitman 3 will see Agent 47 finally close out the critically-acclaimed World Assassination trilogy, which has made him famous for being both bald and deadly in equal measure. This particular instalment will see him take on contracts from as far and wide as Berlin and Chongqing. We reckon Hitman 3 is going to be an absolute belter to kickstart a whole new year of games - I personally can't wait to mill briefcases at people's mugs.


While the game was originally supposed to release in 2015, publisher Deep Silver has repeatedly shifted the game between different developers that have pushed the game back indefinitely, with no release date in sight. But hey, if you don't want to continue waiting for this game, relax. Dying Light 2 is coming out pretty soon, and from what we've seen so far , it looks to blow what we've seen out of the wa


Xbox is preparing to bring 14 first-party games to E3 this year, along with plenty of third-party titles and hopefully more news about its next-gen console hardware. With Sony out of the way and companies like EA holding their own livestreams instead of keynotes, the path to convention domination looks like a smooth road for Microsoft . Alongside a number of big-ticket items already confirmed for the Xbox keynote along with news about some highly-anticipated games making the rounds, we're expecting great things from the Xbox E3 2019 presentat


For one, Fable 4 has been listed as being part of E3 this year on Mixer . With Forza Horizon developers working on the title now and it being folded into the Microsoft Studios collection makes it a likely candidate for the Xbox show; the franchise has incredibly passionate fans who have been waiting a long time for news about this sequel, and it's sure to be a crowd favor


Eric Nyland wrote the very first Halo novels to expand on the lore and give readers a look beyond the games. Both The Fall of Reach and First Strike offered a story surrounding Halo: Combat Evolved that gave definition to a protagonist Bungie purposefully left blank. His works introduced the world to Master Chief's Blue Team allies, Catherine Halsey, and more characters who would later find their way into both the games and spinoff media like the upcoming Paramount+ TV show . The scenes on Reach in Nyland's first book would also go on to inspire much of Bungie's own Halo: Reach , as they both depict the initial days of the conflict between the UNSC and Covenant for
