New titles, new chapters and new experiences

Let the others have their movies—as long as the rest of us still have our games. This year is going to be an amazing one, with several of the biggest names in gaming coming back for next chapters. Then again, we can’t wait to get our hands on the new players entering the market as well.

Attack on Titan 2

Set in the anime’s second season, it looks like Attack on Titan 2 is going to be a lot more involved than its predecessor. New RPG elements have been added to the title, such as being able to build relationships with the different characters from the series. There are also additional support and stealth gameplay elements.

Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom

“We are not men. We are more than that,” Kratos says. “The responsibility is far greater.”

Persona Q2

Sometime in 2018

Acting as the follow-up to 2014’s Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, there is a lot of anticipation for Person Q2. And while there isn’t much information on it just yet, it looks as if the characters of Persona 5will be front and center—if the Phantom Thieves logo on the Japanese teaser website is anything to go on.

Red Dead Redemption 2

October 2018; PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC

Western titles do not get enough attention in the gaming world, but we’re fortunate enough to get Red Dead Redemption 2 this year. A Battle Royale mode is coming to the game, which may not be a surprise to some people, as well as other multiplayer modes such as Revive and Survive and Money Grab. And get ready, because the campaign will be based on character choice and morality-based decisions.
