The year has almost ended. It feels like it was just yesterday the year began, and now it’s nearly winding down to a whole new year. Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015! We had many great games in 2014, from the likes of Dragon Age: Inquisition, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Farcry 4, Destiny, and far too many more to list. 2014 was a good year for gaming, and 2015 is looking like it may be yet another great year, if not better. This year there’s a lot of great games coming and we’re going to discuss ten games we feel are going to be “show stoppers” in 2015.





Assassin's Creed Victory (2015) - PC, PS4, Xbox One

Assassin’s Creed Victory may have been leaked far too early, but that’s okay. The game is said to be set in Victorian London. Not much else is really know yet, but hopefully this is better than Unity, which many considered to be a bit of a failure at release.





Dying Light (February 2015) - PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One

Dying light is by the makers of the Dead Island series and it looks like this may be the one to take over. The game isn’t your typical zombie survival game. It mixes gameplay of Dead Island with Mirror’s Edge, to make for one of the most fast paced zombie games ever. Will it live up to the hype? We will have to wait and see.





The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (February 24, 2015) - PC, Xbox One, PS4

The Witcher is one of those series that is not for everyone, but if you’re a fan of these challenging games, you’ll be happy to see The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt coming February 24, 2015. With it’s huge open world and impressive gameplay, it’s shaping up to be a potential game of the year contender, and it’s not even out yet.





Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015) - PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One

The Metal Gear Solid franchise has been growing for quite some time. Ground Zeroes came out this year, and we got an early glimpse at what to expect from The Phantom Pain, which is looking quite impressive. Konami and company also just announced the Metal Gear Solid Online mode recently, so we’re getting even more with the next Metal Gear Solid. This could have potential to be game of the year.





Quantum Break (2015) - Xbox One

Quantum Break could be a breakout hit when it comes out for the Xbox One this coming year. It was announced a few E3’s ago with an impressive cinematic trailer, and recently we got a glimpse of what the full game is. The people from Remedy, who made the popular Alan Wake are responsible for this interesting looking game. Also it has a tv show included in the game, so you really can’t go wrong here.





Zelda Wii U (2015) - Wii U

It’s about time we get a full on release of a Zelda game on the Wii U. It’s finally happening in 2015 and gamers are ready for a new installment. Will this be the next best Zelda game? The Wii U is starting to get some great games, and 2015 could be the year of the Wii U with Zelda tagging along for the ride.





The Order: 1886 (February 20, 2015) - PS4

The Order: 1886 looks like an exciting action adventure game that takes place in London. The game also has this steampunk vibe that many gamers are into. Ready at Dawn and SCE Santa Monica Studio. Ready at Dawn could be making their biggest hit yet, as they’ve yet to have a major hit on their hands, but after seeing the trailers for The Order, it looks like it’ll be a hit. And it’s coming very soon, so get excited.





Halo 5: Guardians (2015) - Xbox One

Halo 5 could very well be one of the biggest Halo games ever. With the beta recently coming out, it doesn’t seem we’ll be seeing it until Q3 or Q4 of 2015, which probably levels out between October and December. Yes we’ll have to wait a while, but it’s probably better this way.

Batman: Arkham Knight (2015) - PC, PS4, Xbox One

The Batman Arkham series has been around for some time now, and has yet to hit the new gen consoles, but this is about to change with Batman: Arkham Knight, which is looking like a massive hit. This game will not be coming out for the PS3 or Xbox 360, so if you want it, you have to jump to the PS4, Xbox One, or PC. Sadly this is going to be the last Batman game developed by Rocksteady, so hopefully they deliver a massive hit.





Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (2015) - PS4

The 4th installment of Uncharted, a Thiefs End is coming out this year too. The first three games are loved by many, and it seems that the franchise will only continue on. Now that it’s on the PS4, we can take advantage of so many ideas to make this game even better than the last three games. Could it be a contender for game of the year? It’s possible.





And of course, some honorable mentions:





Rise of the Tomb Raider (Holiday 2015) - PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One

Yoshi’s Woolly World (2015) - Wii U

Dead Island 2 (2015) - PC, PS4, Xbox One

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (2015) - Wii U

Splatoon (2015) - Wii U

Mario Maker (2015) - Wii U

Mortal Kombat X (2015) - PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One

Bloodborne (2015) - PS4

Star Wars Battlefront (2015) - PC, PS4, Xbox One

Tom Clancy's The Division (2015) - PC, PS4, XBox One
