Written by Aqil Nasri
2020 is here ladies and gentlemen, and boy is it going to be a remarkable one. The official 9th console generation will be finally launched to the public by this holiday season. Expect amazing graphical updates, faster loading times, exceptional designs and amazing triple-A quality games to be released on the PS5 and the Xbox Series X.
So, if you’re thinking of venturing on and exchanging your old consoles for money to buy the upcoming new ones, just stop.
Seriously, don’t do it yet.
The year has just started and both the PS4 and Xbox One still have a lot of amazing upcoming triple-A games in production. These games are being produced and made by renowned gaming companies, such as CD Projekt Red, Naughty Dog, and Capcom. These are the sort of companies that produces highly lauded games loved by fans and critics alike. So, you can bet that the quality’s going to be there.
As such, I’ve compiled a list of ten must-play games that’s going to come out in 2020. Let us know if you have more suggestions in the comments below!
- Doom Eternal (PS4, XBONE, PC) – March 20
- After releasing a killer reboot of DOOM back in 2016, id Software is back at again with the sequel to the critically acclaimed game. Doom Eternal is set to release this Spring, and it is definitely not holding back in terms of gore and brutality. This time, Hell is coming to Terra Firma (the Earth-like realm in the game), so expect another level of craziness in terms of environment designs and gameplay. Let’s face it, killing out of this world demons/enemies with absolute bonkers weaponry has always been fun. Especially when you have a gun that’s literally called BFG (Big Fucking Gun).
- Resident Evil 3 Remake (PS4, XBONE, PC) – April 3
- Yes, people, it’s official. Resident Evil 3 is getting a remake for the current generation of consoles and PC, and that means that we’ll get to see our favourite villain, Nemesis, in its true horrifying 4k form.This was a surprise for me. I did not expect Capcom to announce a new RE remake so soon. They just released the Resident Evil 2 Remake early last year, and now a new one’s coming out? What did we do to deserve such a blessing?
Also, the RE3 Remake will include a newly spin-off multiplayer mode called Project Resistance, which pits 4 online survivors against another single online player who will play the role of the gamemaster, in which he controls the layout and the zombies that the survivors must fight through. This mode definitely sounds interesting.
- Final Fantasy 7 Remake (PS4 Timed Exclusive) – April 10
- Do you know when they say that if you wish for something hard enough, it’ll eventually come true? I guess that saying finally worked, as Final Fantasy 7 is finally getting a remake that’s coming out this April!Fans have been clamouring for this title ever since the early days of the PS3. The newly updated slick visuals with revamped tactical gameplay are making fans excited. Fans can’t wait to get back into the boots of Cloud and save the world again.
- The Last of Us: Part II (PS4) – May 29
- Oh boy, what more can I say that others haven’t about The Last of Us: Part II? The first game won so many accolades and awards that critics and fans heralded it as one of the best games of the generation. The story between Ellie and Joel touched the hearts of many, as it was easily relatable with many of us out in the real world.The sequel is set to continue five years where the original game left off. This time, players are controlling Ellie, with the stakes looking higher than ever.
The game was originally supposed to come out in February but was delayed to May in order to polish it more. Honestly, I don’t care how long the game is going to take, as I fully believe in Naughty Dog’s capabilities.
- Marvel’s Avengers (PS4, XBONE, PC) – September 4
- Ever since the MCU came into light back in 2008, the popularity of the Marvel franchise has soared to unbelievable heights. Now, almost everyone in the world would recognize Iron Man and Captain America! But there hasn’t really been an actual solid game based on the Marvel Universe. Sure, there was that Thor movie tie-in game back in 2011, but it was utter garbage. The upcoming game by Crystal Dynamics aims to change people’s perception of games based on the Marvel Universe. With a star-studded cast of voice actors such as Troy Baker, Nolan North, Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, and Jeff Schine, surely things would not go wrong. Players get to control Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, and Ms. Marvel. Also, with 4-player coop, this game is set to be a blast with friends.
- Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4, XBONE, PC) September 17
- Cyberpunk 2077 has been making headlines ever since it’s first announcement. Especially after that famous Keanu Reeves moment on stage at E3 2019. CD Projekt Red has created an incredibly detailed world for Cyberpunk 2077. Set in Night City, the futuristic metropolis of the world where players will spend most of their time in. the world of Cyberpunk looks incredibly cool. With human modifications and human enhancements, there will be tons of gameplay options that will definitely excite anyone playing the game.Also, coming from the creators of the amazing Witcher 3, I’m sure this game will be one of the best there is.
- Ghost of Tsushima (PS4) – Summer 2020
- When Sucker Punch announced the game back in 2017, no one expected it to be a Sucker Punch game as it was a far cry from the games that they usually produce, such as the Infamous and Sly Cooper franchises. In this game, you play as a swordsman known as “The Ghost”, who must fight against the invading Mongol Empire. The game is set in the year 1274, where some of the events unfold based on actual historical events. So far, the graphics and the gameplay look really solid and intense!No concrete release date has been set yet for the game, but it was rumoured to come out in the Summer of 2020.
