THIS year there are a ton of games that gamers can look forward to. Last year, we saw the rise of e-sports as Covid19 lockdowns had us all levelling up.
Whether you are a PC gamer or a diehard console gamer, there is something for everyone so no one has an excuse to miss out this year.
Overwatch 2
It has been five years since the launch of Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch and fans anticipate its sequel to arrive later this year. Overwatch 2 is expected to keep the same multiplayer component as seen in the first Overwatch. An added bonus is that Overwatch and Overwatch 2 players will be able to play against each other.
Hogwarts Legacy
Social media was ablaze when reports emerged that there will be an open-world adventure game set in JK Rowling’s wizarding world. Warner Bros planned to release the game this year with Avalanche Software designing the upcoming role-playing game. However, dreams were crushed when it was later announced that it was delayed and will be released in 2022. Hogwarts Legacy will be available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X.
Gotham Knights
In Gotham Knights, it is up to you as one of the Bat family to look over the streets of Gotham after Batman’s untimely demise. It is worth noting that the game is not set in the world of the Arkham series and is being developed by WB Games Montreal, which is the studio that brought you Arkham Origins. It is a single-player game but has the option for two-player co-op. Gotham Knights will be available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X.
Hitman 3
The third instalment of all-time favourite Hitman will once again put you in the ever-changing shoes of assassin Agent 47. Hitman 3 promises to give players even more freedom to find creative ways to solve puzzles. Hitman 3 will be available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Google Stadia and Switch.
Honourable mentions:
Ratchet & Clank will be available exclusively on PS5 during Q1 and Q2 this year.
