The most anticipated games of 2019. Part 2

From 2019, we are waiting for so much that all the expectations did not fit in one text: I had to cut it even for two, but for three parts! The first you will find here, and the third and last will appear in a few days. So include notifications of publications on the site so as not to miss!

The most anticipated games of 2019. Part 3 I Part 1

TOM ClanCyʼs The Division 2

First pancake at Ubisoft It often comes out lumpy: there is a feeling that in the debut parts of his franchises, the studio seems to only try mechanics, tests ideas and watches the players, and only then releases the continuation, correcting the mistakes of the original. Apparently with The Division The same thing happened – however, here the work on the mistakes began in DLC to the first part.

In the sequel, instead of the snowy Christmas New York, we will find a dilapidated summer Washington-and this is far from the last major change. For example, high-level activity will now be available, including one-time players, and if you decide to assemble a team, you will need eight people against four in the first part-at least for some raids. And one more plus: in the first year, Ubisoft will release three additions to TOM ClanCyʼs The Division 2 , And they will all be free. The game is released on March 15 on PC, Xbox One and PS4.

The Sinking City

The dry law and the great depression, the flooded city and the viscous atmosphere of the works of Howard Lovecraft – for many of this combination there is already enough to wait for a project, in whatever genre it performed. And it will not be difficult to wait: on March 21, we will try on the role of a detective Charles Reed and go to the town of okmond to reveal his dark secrets.

Studio Frogwarees I stuffed a hand on detective stories, releasing a series of games about Sherlock Holmes. Their style is traced in The Sinking City , But it seems much more complex and complex than previous developers projects. This applies to both the technical part and the gameplay: players will need to investigate crimes, fight with terrible creatures, and try not to die of fear along the way. The first impressions of the game were positive-it remains to wait for a full release and hope that the developers will not turn off the wrong way during this time. The Sinking City comes out at the same time on PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Hidetaka Miyazaki knows how to press on the pain points of the players so that they suffer, but still asked for supplements. Modern gamers studio Fromsoftware known primarily by games Dark Souls And Bloodborne , But the veterans of the gamepad know developers in Armored Core and some games of the series Tenchu , in which it goes Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

At the time of the announcement, many, out of habit, attributed a new development of Miyazaki to the Souls-Like genre, however, with a more detailed examination, a small gap between the projects turns into an endless abyss. Sekiro differs in the dynamics of battles, and vertical gameplay, and even the presentation of a story about a samurai with a mechanical prosthesis. However, the level of difficulty the game still inherited from its Souls predecessors. Sekiro release: Shadows Die Twice on PC, Xbox One and PS4 scheduled for March 22.

Mortal Kombat 11

With the release of the Restone of the series in 2011, Ed Bun seems to have made the perfect recipe for future parts of the legendary franchise. Mortal Kombat significantly added to the integrity of history and ceased to be just a game about violence for violence. However, no one has forgotten about the main feature of the series either: developers from Netherrealm Studios Still filling to the top, each of the next part of sophisticated fatalities and incredibly cruel X-ray.

We learned more details at the recent world premiere of MK11: here you can see all new trailers with gameplay and fatalics and read about the plot of the eleventh part. In addition, it is already known that Mortal Kombat 11 will borrow a couple of ideas from Injustice 2 : for example, there will be a customization of characters. And this is the first representative of the series that will be released on all four main platforms, including Nintendo Switch, and one day on April 23.

Days Gone

We are already used to it that Sony From year to year it only increases the bar of the quality of its exclusives, but Days Gone So far it remains a dark horse. Four months before the release – the game is released on April 26 – and we still cannot understand what it is.

In this project about zombies, features are visible at once and The Last of Us , And Mad Max , Not to mention other lumpy mechanics like "witcher vision". The developers regularly talk about new chips like the influence of weather on gameplay and variability in solving problems, but neither players nor the press still understand how all this should work in aggregate. In addition to the developers of Days Gone, Sony Bend Studio , Behind the shoulders mostly projects for PSP, so they cannot boast of a large credit of trust. But to give the project a chance in any case: on the current generation of exclusive consoles for PlayStation, it is not recommended to miss.

Super Meat Boy Forever

After the release of the first part, almost eight years have passed, so we were already waiting for the sequel. It will be possible to play it on all relevant platforms, including iOS and Android, already in April 2019, and only the release in Steam, according to the developers' website, is postponed until 2020. And the most interesting thing is that the last word is in the title Super Meat Boy Forever It appeared not just like that: the developers promise that with each passage the levels of the game will become more complicated – moreover, endlessly! Well, isn't it charm?

Rage 2

Remember the first Rage? If so – we sympathize with you: her bugs could give odds to any nightmare nightmare. But the problems of this game were not so much in glitches as in an empty corridor world, flat characters and mediocre gameplay.

It looks like ID Software carried out work on errors. United with Avalanche Software The masters of the jokes in the first person are ready to show the most crazy post -post -postage world. In it, neon shades contrast with scorched wastelands and picturesque forests, and the hero’s abilities in combination with a variety of weapons cause an ominous grin. Whether the tandem of the studios will be able to correct the 2011 Rage reputation, we will see on May 14 on PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled

In 1999, PlayStation had its own Mario Kart with a bandit and a fluoride-true, now in the original Crash Team Racing you can play only if you are not afraid to lose your vision and mind. Fortunately, for everyone who wants to indulge in nostalgia without harm to health, its remake comes out on June 21.

Fashion for reprinting classical games is in full swing, and after the success of revived trilogies about Crash and Spyro Activision Returns to life another IP. The updated project was called Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled. Developers from the studio Beenox We must pay tribute: they did not just pull on the old game high resolution texture. In addition to classic racing tracks, there will be new ones, and races with friends can be arranged both on one screen and on the network. And, unlike Mario Kart, Ctr Nitro Fueled will not only go to Nintendo Switch, but also on PS4 and Xbox One … And after a year, maybe the PC will reach PC.

Shenmue III

The previous parts of the cult Shenmue They left as much as eighteen and twenty years ago, respectively – that dilogy actually determined the development of the entire genre of cinematic immersive games. Recently, by the way, the HD-Remake of both projects came out, but the grandiose plot is still not completed. Therefore, the announcement Shenmue III The game community blew up on E3 2015: people cried, hugged, and almost offered prayers when Yu Suzuki, a game designer and the author of the series, entered the stage. The fundraising for the third part could be closed ten hours after the start: it was so much required Ys net , to collect the required amount. Whether it will be possible to hold the bar, which he also set, on August 27, the holders of PC and PS4 recognize.

The following projects have not yet have a clear release date, but also declared for 2019.

GEARS 5

A series of games about muscles and chainsaws is gradually changing. Firstly, the fifth number of GEARS of WAR It turned simply in GEARS. Secondly 20bets sister sites, the Phoenix family has faded into the background: the plot will be concentrated on Kate Diaz, one of the heroines of the fourth part. The girl will go north to reveal the riddles associated with her nightmares and the family amulet, and the company is a Walker affair, also familiar to us by GEARS of WAR 4. And thirdly, the tone of the game will change: the color scheme will become brighter, and the locations are more diverse-from snowy forests to the greenery of megacities.

How many more surprises awaits us, it remains only to guess. Judging by the first trailer, the masculine action turned into a chamber personal story – although who knows where the plot will lead us? We will find out in the coming year, but, as usual, only on the platforms Microsoft.

IMPERATOR: ROME

Studio Paradox , famous for its global strategies, continues to do what it succeeds best. Strategy IMPERATOR: ROME – This is another large -scale historical canvas, which players will be able to redraw at their request. Of course, the devil knows how to create that in ancient Rome you are unlikely to succeed, but here you are to seriously change the fate of all European civilization – always please.

If you are one of those players who like to spend a couple of dozen evenings, slowly seizing power in an ancient state, Imperator: Rome should definitely wait. Moreover, the project is promised to make friendly to beginners. No longer tolerated to win a couple of provinces, and then roll up a feast!

In the Valley of Gods

Secret project of developers Firewatch intriguing from the first trailer. Of course, we, of course, managed to run around the Egyptian pyramids in Assassinʼs Creed Origins , But In the Valley of Gods , It seems to be completely different. True, the developers did not disclose any details, so the only basis for the conclusions is the debut project of the studio Campo Santo.

Firewatch was an amazing game with a simple idea, but a deep and life story, and from the new game we expect no less. The plot will tell about the girl Rashida, who went to Egypt to make a documentary. The company will make up a Zora, with which the main character previously collaborated. We are waiting for details and hope that the project will not be transferred.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Four years ago, developers from Moon Studio Created a standard platformer Ori and the Blind Forest , And if you have not yet familiarized him with him, correct yourself as quickly as possible, because in 2019 a sequel should come out. Ori and the Will of the Wisps will continue the original story and encounter us not only with the characters of the first part, but also with new heroes. At the same time, the developers assure that the game will become much more emotional (there is only one question: where is even more?!).

One way or another, do not melt too much from tenderness, considering screenshots and trailers. In fact, we are waiting for a rather hardcore platformer, and to hone all sophisticated jumps and finites, probably a lot of effort will leave. So be patient: this game will most likely cost every second time spent.
