With E3 2019 behind us and the summer beginning, it is time to start looking forward to 2020! Every year after E3, we put together a mega list of our most anticipated upcoming games for the next year. Here, we’ve compiled a list of the 50 most anticipated upcoming games of 2020.

With a new PlayStation and Xbox slated to come out in late 2020, this year is undeniably going to be an exciting year in gaming. There will be plenty of new games releasing on the current generation of consoles, but also tons of awesome titles releasing on the next generation consoles that we really don’t know that much about yet.

We will continue to update the list as new titles are announced and release dates are set (or pushed back). So, let’s get started!

Discover our 50 most anticipated upcoming games of 2020 below.

Resident Evil 3 Remake

Developer: Capcom

Publisher: Capcom

Release Date: April 3, 2020

Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam

Genre: Action Horror

You thought Mr. X was tough, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Capcom is prepared to unleash Nemesis in the Resident Evil 3 Remake that’s set to drop on April 3, 2020 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam – and we couldn’t be any more excited for it.

Given the brilliance and quality that was the RE2 remake from Capcom, we can’t imagine RE3 being anything but glorious at this point.

Escape from Raccoon City as Jill Valentine with this reinvigorated horror classic that remains on our list of the scariest horror games of all-time.

On top of that, the updated version of the game will release a new single-player campaign and a 1v4 online multiplayer mode (which will likely serve as more than a novelty, but hey, it’s something worth noting).

Final Fantasy VII Remake

Developer: Square Enix

Publisher: Square Enix

Release Date: April 10, 2020

Platform: PlayStation 4

Genre: RPG

Paying homage to the original Final Fantasy VII, which released back in 1997, the Final Fantasy VII Remake is set to release on April 10, 2020. Fans have been clamoring for a remake of this beloved Final Fantasy game for years, and now the finish line is finally in sight – at least, so we thought before reading Kotaku’s hands-on impressions.

Minecraft Dungeons

Developer: Mojang

Publisher: Mojang

Release Date: May 26, 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Switch

Genre: Action/Adventure

Minecraft Dungeons is a bit different than your traditional Minecraft title, as there is no building, crushing, or crafting. Instead, the game will feature dungeon crawling, with dungeons filled full of traps, monsters, puzzles, and treasures.

Minecraft Dungeons was announced in September 2018 and got an official release window during E3 2019. This is one of many spin-off games from the Minecraft series. However, it is in a league of its own as Minecraft is concerned, since it is a dungeon crawler. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait for May 2020 to find out just how different Minecraft Dungeons will be!

Carrion

Developer: Phobia

Publisher: Devolver Digital

Release Date: June 1, 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Switch

Genre: Action/Adventure/Horror/Platform

Carrion is not your everyday horror game and sounds like a lot of fun. In Carrion, players will play as a monster who will stalk and consume its enemies. Your goal is to spread panic and destroy the prison that is holding you captive. Throughout the game, players will learn of new abilities that will allow them to cause even more destruction. Carrion will be sneaking its way to release on June 1, 2020.

The Last of Us Part II

Developer: Naughty Dog

Publisher: Sony

Release Date: June 19, 2020

Platform: PlayStation 4

Genre: Action-Adventure/Horror/Survival

The Last of Us Part II was announced during a PlayStation event in December 2016 and was originally set to release sometime in Q1 2020. Serving as a sequel to the popular 2013 PlayStation exclusive – which, by the way, is on our list of the best zombie games of all-time – the game will take place 5 years after the events of its predecessor and follow the story of an older version of the main character, Ellie (which we now know is the only playable character this time around).

The Last of Us was one of the most beloved PlayStation exclusives of the PlayStation 4 generation, so there is no denying the hype levels for the upcoming sequel. Fans haven’t heard much about the game since the very strange Sony E3 2018 conference. With Sony skipping out on E3 2019, it seems that some news about The Last of Us 2 should be just around the corner, hopefully in the form of an official release date!

Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated

Developer: Purple Lamp Studios

Publisher: THQ Nordic

Release Date: June 23, 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Switch

Genre: Action-Adventure/Platformer

Originally released back in 2003, everyone’s favorite yellow sponge is getting rehydrated and heading to the current generation of consoles! Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom is considered a cult classic by many, and features Spongebob and his friends as they try to collect spatulas and save Bikini Bottom. Utterly ridiculous – but in a good way!

Being dubbed “rehydrated” instead of remade, Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom will have a new multiplayer mode as well as cut content from the original game. This upcoming remake definitely has fans very excited to help save Bikini Bottom!

See the trailer here.

Elden Ring

Developer: FromSoftware

Publisher: Bandai Namco

Release Date: June 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: RPG

While the official release date hasn’t been announced yet, it seems that Elden Ring will be releasing sometime in late 2020. Elden Ring has been in development since late 2016. It is a third-person RPG that seems to revolve around the Elden Ring, whatever that is. Unfortunately, that’s all we really know about it at the moment, but hopefully, in the coming months, more information will be revealed.

It’s odd that Bandai still has not given us an update on the Elden Ring release date, given that June 2020 is just about over. It’s clear that Elden Ring won’t actually be launching in June. However, we’ll update this post when we have more official information regarding its release date.

Skater XL

Developer: Easy Day Studios

Publisher: Easy Day Studios

Release Date: July 7, 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch

Genre: Skateboarding

All we can say is…it’s about DAMN time that gamers received a new skateboarding sim. If you’ve been hanging around waiting for Skate 4 from EA, the bad news is that EA continually says it’s not interested in it. The good news is that Easy Day Studios has a little game called Skater XL to satisfy those who were waiting for Skate 4.

Skater XL is available in an Early Access state on Steam right now, but the 1.0 release has been scheduled for July 7, 2020 – and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve already dropped 500+ hours (yes, seriously) in Skater XL in its Early Access version, so it’s safe to say that I know the ins and outs of this game. The first thing you need to know about Skater XL is that the controls take a similar-yet-different approach to the flick controls you might be used to if you played Skate. But instead of canned animations, Skater XL allows each thumbstick to control each foot so that no two kickflips pop and spin the exact same way; it all depends on your feet placement on the board, how fast you flick the controls, etc.

It does take a hot minute to get used to, but once you get the controls down, you’ll realize it’s actually super intuitive and way better than the skateboard sims of the past.

In the PC version of Skater XL, there’s also a massive modding community that makes the game 10x better, with custom-created maps, custom board designs, clothing, and mods that add things like fingerflips, backflips, stat sliders, and so much more. (Seriously – it’s a rabbit hole worth going down!)

The Skater XL 1.0 release will also add a massive Downtown Los Angeles map for us to play around in, and we can’t wait to skate some of the iconic L.A. spots on July 7th.

Ghost of Tsushima

Developer: Sucker Punch Productions

Publisher: Sony

Release Date: July 17, 2020

Platform: PlayStation 4

Genre: Actions/Adventure

The Ghost of Tsushima follows the story of the last Samurai on Tshumia Island. This PlayStation exclusive will feature an open world that will be explored without the use of waypoints or guidance objectives.

Ghost of Tsushima is set in 1274 and explores the story of Jin Sakai. In the game, Japan is invaded by the Mongol people, who place them under extreme oppression. Players will have to master the way of the Ghost, in order to free Japan from the grips of Mongols.

Destroy All Humans! Remake

Developer: Pandemic Studios

Publisher: THQ

Release Date: July 28, 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: Action/Adventure

The cult classic Destroy All Humans is getting a much-deserved remake in 2020, and we’re pretty stoked about it. THQ Nordic announced the remake just before E3 2019, exciting fans of the series.

The Destroy All Humans remake will be working with the original voice actors to bring back the witty humor of the original game. In the remake, players will be able to combine their psychokinetic powers with their alien weapons to cause some major havoc. Unfortunately, players have to wait until 2020 to do it.

Now, if you’re one of those who aren’t big on remakes, you might want to check out the original Destroy All Humans on PSN right now and then get back to us – while the core gameplay holds up, nothing else does.

Watch the trailer here.

New World

Release Date: August 25, 2020

Developer: Amazon Studios

Publisher: Amazon Studios

Platform(s): PC

The most anticipated upcoming MMORPG of 2020 is Amazon Studios New World — which has been in production for many years now. And, it sounds (and looks) INCREDIBLE if you’re a fan of the MMORPG genre.

Of course, finding success with any new MMORPG is a big wall to climb, but if anyone can do it, it’s Amazon. New World is certainly ambitious, and it all revolves around the idea that there’s a substance taking over the world and there are now warring factions who are fighting to decide what to do with the substance.

What’s most exciting about New World is its combat, which the developers have said that it’s inspired by Dark Souls in that you have to be focused on your targets and your weapons have actual weightiness and require accuracy by the player to land blows. And, if you look at any New World combat gameplay so far, it looks incredible.

New World also has no class system, either. Instead, you level up stats and choose your own way to play as you earn XP for what you like to do.

It has open world events and boss fights, as well as siege warfare (50v50 PVP battles), and they look badass. There are also large scale format PVE battles called Invasions, but we haven’t seen that yet.

Wasteland 3

Developer: inExile Entertainment

Publisher: Deep Silver

Release Date: May 19, 2020 DELAYED to August 28, 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: RPG/Strategy

Starting as a crowdfunded game, Wasteland 3 was announced in 2016. It is a squad-based RPG that is set to release on May 19, 2020. Wasteland 3 will follow the story of the only surviving member of a group called Team November.

This turn-based combat game is set in an apocalyptic version of Colorado. Those who backed the game during its crowdfunding phase will be able to get their hands on it a little bit early. Unfortunately, the rest of us will have to wait until Q2 2020 to play.

Update 4/2/20: Wasteland 3 is one of the many games that have been delayed due to the coronavirus so far this year. Here’s to hoping its new August release date won’t get pushed back as well.

Microsoft Flight Simulator

Platform: Xbox One, PC

Genre: Flight Simulator

The upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator will be the thirteenth installment to the series and will be releasing exclusively on Microsoft devices on March 20, 2020. While it will likely be fairly similar to the older titles, there will be updated graphics and new places to explore, including every single airport in the world!

Microsoft Flight Simulator will feature tons of beautiful geographic locations that players can visit like the Golden Gate Bridge, the Eifel Tower, and a whole lot more. Players will need to monitor weather patterns to make sure that their flights go smoothly or they will be faced with a crash landing!

Marvel’s Avengers

Developer: Crystal Dynamics

Publisher: Square Enix

Release Date: September 4, 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Stadia

Genre: Action/Adventure

For months, rumors have been swirling around about a new Avengers game. At E3 2019, Square Enix took to the stage to unveil the first ever trailer and release date for its new game, Marvel’s Avengers, which will be releasing on May 15, 2020.

Marvel’s Avengers will begin at the events of A-Day, the unveiling of the new Avengers HQ in San Francisco. However, after a quick turn of events which results in the death of civilians, the Avengers officially disband. Fast forward five years later, and all superheroes are now outlawed. However, a recent world event puts humanity at risk, and the only hope is to reassemble the Avengers.

Watch the A-Day trailer here.

Star Wars: Squadrons

Developer: Motive

Publisher: EA

Release Date: October 2, 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: Dogfight Sim

Aside from Cyberpunk 2077, our MOST anticipated game of 2020 is Star Wars: Squadrons and it’s for numerous reasons. First, it’s a freaking Star Wars dogfighting game. Secondly, the entire thing is playable in VR. Also, flight sticks will work with the PC version of the game. Now, as someone who frequently plays DCS World in VR with a Hotas flight stick, I’m stoked out of my mind to be able to pilot an Imperial tie fighter and battle it out with my friends online.

Cyberpunk 2077

Developer: CD Projekt RED

Publisher: CD Projekt RED

Release Date: November 19, 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: Action-Adventure\RPG

Cyberpunk 2077 is arguably one of, if not the most anticipated games of 2020. Based on a tabletop game, Cyberpunk 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 features an open world with six different regions. Cyberpunk 2077 is now expected to be released on November 19, 2020, following multiple delays earlier this year.

The game follows a character known as V and is based in Night City, California. With unruly businesses and gangs fighting for control of Night City, the city is now rampant with homelessness, robots, and overbearing laws. Aside from this, not much is known about the game, but as the April release date gets closer, we will undoubtedly learn more.

System Shock

Developer: Night Dive Studios

Publisher: Night Dive Studios

Release Date: TBA 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: Action/RPG

Serving as a remake of the 1994 game, System Shock is an upcoming remake that is set to release in Q1 2020. After being in development for a while, System Shock was put on hold in February 2018 while Nightdive reassesses its directions and goals. The development has since picked back up and will hopefully go smoothly until release.

In System Shock, players will play as a renowned hacker who is considered by many to be the best in the business. However, after a hack goes wrong, you find yourself indebted to a greedy executive. A few months later, after waking up from a coma, the world around you has changed and feels abandoned, even though it isn’t.

Gods and Monsters

Developer: Ubisoft

Publisher: Ubisoft

Release Date: February 25, 2020 DELAYED, TBA

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Switch, Stadia

Genre: Action/Adventure

Gods and Monsters is a new Ubisoft title that is being developed by the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey team. The game gives off a Breath of the Wild feel with its art style, which has lots of fans excited. During the E3 2019 Ubisoft conference, the publisher revealed the new game and dished out a February 25, 2020 release date.

In Gods and Monsters, players will be able to encompass the power of the gods to help save them from one of the most deadly creatures in Greek mythology. The gods have given players some awesome powers to help them defeat their enemy, Typhon. Since the game was just recently announced at the time of writing this, there is still a lot that is unknown about the game, but hopefully, we will learn more soon.

Essentially, it’s going to be like a AAA, big-budget Breath of the Wild — and that’s definitely something we can get excited about.

Check out the trailer here.

Rainbow Six Quarantine

Developer: Ubisoft

Publisher: Ubisoft

Release Date: Q1 2020 Delayed, TBA

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: Action-Adventure/FPS

Set several years in the future of the Rainbow Six world, Rainbow Six Quarantine was officially announced at the Ubisoft E3 2019 conference and is set to release sometime in Q1 2020.

In Rainbow Six Quarantine, Rainbow Operators are tasked with finding and eliminating alien parasites that are putting the human race at risk. Quarantine is not going to be PvP like other games in the series, but instead, it will be a 3 player co-op adventure that players can take with their friends or strangers.

Watch the trailer here.

Dying Light 2

Developer: Techland

Publisher: Techland

Release Date: Now TBA 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: Action-Adventure/FPS

Serving as a sequel to the 2015 game, Dying Light, Dying Light 2 is set to release in Q2 2020. Originally announced at E3 2018, the sequel will follow the story of a protagonist named Aiden Caldwell.

Throughout the game, players will have to make a series of choices, each which have unforeseen consequences. Like it’s predecessor, Dying Light 2 will have parkour and other similar gameplay mechanics. The release of Dying Light 2 is still around a year away at the time this article was written, so I can’t imagine an official release date will be announced for a few more months.

However, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about this sequel. For one, the map size is 4x larger than the original game’s map; that means more areas to explore and more people to meet. Secondly, Techland promises to support Dying Light 2 for years, even after the next generation of consoles begin.

Watch Dogs Legion

Developer: Ubisoft

Publisher: Ubisoft

Release Date: March 6, 2020 DELAYED, TBA

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Stadia

Genre: Action-Adventure

Perhaps one of the most exciting announcements from E3 2019, to our surprise, was Watch Dogs Legion, which was officially unveiled during the Ubisoft press conference after being leaked the week before by a well-known retailer. Watch Dogs Legion will take place in a post-Brexit London. The game will follow a London based hacker group, known as DedSec, as they try to fight the new London authority. This will be the third installment to the Watch Dogs series and it was originally slated to release on March 6, 2020 but was recently delayed, alongside a few of Ubisoft’s other upcoming games. If you weren’t previously interested in the Watch Dogs franchise before, we have a strong feeling that Legion is going to be the game that does it for you.

We also now know that the game will release after Ubisoft’s fiscal year-end (so, anytime after April 1, 2020), and give the fact that Ubisoft’s Yves Guillemot noted that the delayed games will take ‘full advantage’ of the PS5 and Scarlett’s faster downloading times and improved framerates, we have a strong feeling we won’t see these games release until holiday 2020, alongside those consoles.

See the trailer here.

Outriders

Developer: People Can Fly

Publisher: Square Enix

Release Date: Early Q3 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: Action/Shooter

Announced at E3 2019 during the E3 2019 Square Enix conference, Outriders is an upcoming co-op shooter. Since it is newly announced, there isn’t a lot known about it at this time. Square Enix did share a release window, but it is pretty far out and likely subject to change. However, for now, we can expect Outriders to release sometime in Q3 2020.

Outriders is a co-op shooter that is built to be played in a group up to three. It is a dark, sci-fi adventure, and features an alien life form. Currently, this is really all that is known about the upcoming People Can Fly game. However, the coming months will definitely reveal more information about Outriders.

Watch the announcement trailer here.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 5 (likely)

Developer: Treyarch Studios

Publisher: Activision

Release Date: Q4 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: Action/FPS

There’s a little bit of craziness surrounding the annual Call of Duty game, after Activision pulled Raven and Sledgehammer Studios off of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 5 development and handed it over to Treyarch Studios. An official release date hasn’t been given for Call of Duty: Black Ops 5 yet, but it is safe to assume that it will likely be coming in either October or November of 2020 (based on previous years).

Call of Duty: Black Ops 5 will be the fifth installment to the Black Ops series, which began in 2010. The first game was originally developed by Treyarch, as was the most recent game in the series, Black Ops 4. Activision typically gives the Call of Duty developers a three-year rotation between games, but it seems that Treyarch is being asked to step up a year early.

Monstrum 2

Developer: Team Junkfish

Publisher: Team Junkfish

Release Date: Q4 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: Action/Adventure/Horror/Strategy

Everyone loves to play hide and go seek, right? Well, that’s pretty much what Monstrum 2 is, except with a little bit of horror sprinkled in! Monstrum 2 is a 4v1 adventure horror game where players are split into teams of 4 and must hide from a vicious monster. Players must work together to escape the monster before it finds them first.

Monstrum 2 will take place in a sea fortress, which will have a changing environment from game to game. Players must find the different escape routes and learn the map inside in out before they get devoured. Additionally, one way that Monstrum 2 will be different from its predecessor is that each round, a player will get to play as the monster. Monstrum 2 is set to release at the very end of 2020.

Halo Infinite

Developer: 343 Industries

Publisher: Xbox Game Studios

Release Date: Q4 2020

Platform: Xbox One, PC

Genre: Action/FPS

The Halo series is making a grand return with the upcoming Halo Infinite, which is currently slated for Q4 2020. This will be the sixth main entry into the Halo series and the first main Halo game since 2017. Additionally, it will likely be a launch title for the next generation Xbox console. Although, it will also be released on the Xbox One.

Halo Infinite will continue the story of Master Chief and will follow the events of Halo 5 Guardians. A lot of Halo fans were disappointed that Halo 5 didn’t focus on the Master Chief story very much, so developers have made sure to give fans what they want in Halo Infinite. Unfortunately, this is really all we know about it at the moment, but more information will come to light as we get closer to the end of 2020.

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

Genre: Action/Adventure

Beyond Good & Evil 2 is an upcoming prequel to Beyond Good & Evil that has been in the works for many years and is, hopefully, set to release in 2020. While there is not an official release date yet, there is a beta period planned for late 2019, which leads most fans to think that it will be releasing in 2020. It is set in an open world and will take place one generation prior to the events of Beyond Good & Evil.

Players will start the game at the bottom of the social system and must complete various tasks to rise up the ranks. Players can visit different planets, complete tasks, gain technology, and improve their status. There is still a lot unknown about the game, but hopefully, the upcoming beta will help answer some of our questions.

While 2020 is admittedly optimistic, we’re thinking it’s likely to drop in Q4 2020.

The mobile game will have an old school style to it, much like the Netflix show. It is important to mention that this mobile game has nothing to do with the upcoming game, Stranger Things 3: The Game, which is releasing with Season 3 of the show in July 2019.
