1) Red Dead Redemption 2
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4
Release Date: Late 2017
Really, no other game could top this list. Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming in 2017 and it’s the sequel to a true classic. But forget all that. First and foremost, it’s a Rockstar game – what more could you want?
Arguably the greatest development house in our industry, Rockstar is the company Hideo Kojima called the best in the business. High praise indeed, but not undeserved. With every new open-world entry, the Scottish dev house finds a way to broaden their scope and break new ground. Though little is known about Red Dead Redemption 2, expectations couldn’t be higher.
[zergpaid]Almost certainly we’ll be revisiting a member of the Marston family (either John or his son) in a tale about gangland violence, lawlessness and the untamed majesty of the Wild West. We’re also fairly sure that we’ll be able to switch between characters, too, as Rockstar tells a sweeping tale across varied viewpoints. Little else is certain, but I suspect the team has more than a few aces up its sleeve.
It’s going to be a long wait, especially after the gorgeous teaser trailer, but rest assured Rockstar will release the very best product possible.
