Spelunky 2

(Image credit: BlitWorks)

Release date: September 15, 2020

Genre: Roguelike platformer

What is it? The surprise sequel to 2013’s surprise breakout platform hit, set a generation later, and promising a whole bunch of new ways to get obsessed.

Why is it so interesting? Because the 2013 Spelunky (itself based on a 2008 freeware game), with its permadeath, randomly generated levels, raft of loot and secrets, and spiralling, experimental depths, made for a heck of a gratifying, cleverly compulsive, long-term game. Its high stakes and anything-can-happen nature also gave the streaming scene a huge shot in the arm early on, and ensured a mammoth amount of replay value. With the recent gameplay trailer, we know the sequel will expanded features and online multiplayer support alongside co-op.

Going Under

Release date: September 2020

Genre: Roguelite

What is it? A roguelite game set in the offices of abandoned tech startups.

Why is it interesting? Okay, so the title and theme might feel a little weird at this point in time, but the game itself is looking rather awesome. You play as Jackie, a unpaid marketing intern, whose work quickly turns from coffee-making and menial work to heading down into the basement to fight off monsters. This game is set in the offices of abandoned tech startups, and you'll be using the junk you find as you move through the empty corridors as weapons. It's bright, it's colourful, and it's downright silly. We're looking forward to it.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time

(Image credit: Activision)

Release date: October 2, 2020

Genre: Platformer

What is it? A new Crash Bandicoot adventure from developer Toys for Bob.



Why is it interesting? Crash is returning for a new adventure this year, and from the gameplay we've seen so far, it looks set to include oodles of new features. In what developer Toys for Bob describe as "perspective-shifting" platforming, the fully-fledged sequel to the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy lets you play different characters throughout the many different levels, including Crash's sister Coco, and former villain Dingodile. There are even stages where you'll be able to control the main antagonist himself, Doctor Neo Cortex.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

Release date: October 20, 2020

Genre: Action adventure of the Lego variety

What is it? All nine Star Wars films in one Lego game.

Why is it so interesting? Lego and Star Wars is always a winning combination. Being able to play out every single Star Wars movie - from a New Hope to The Last Jedi - in Lego form makes for one delightful adventure, and that's exactly what we're going to get with the recently announced Skywalker Saga. While we've already gotten to experience most of the Star Wars films in the form of Lego games, we'll be able to play out the latest adventures with Rey and the gang, too. We're not sure if the previous games will be tweaked in any way or just remastered, but regardless, they're sure to be just as enjoyable.

Watch Dogs Legion

Release date: October 29, 2020

Genre: Action-adventure

Buy: Watch Dogs Legion pre-orders

What is it? A hacking, action-packed adventure set in a futuristic, dystopian post-Brexit London.

Why is it so interesting? Watch Dogs Legion takes place in a dystopian post-Brexit London, where drones and hackers roam the city in spades. What's so interesting about this new Watch Dogs experience is that while hacking is still at the heart of the game, building up a team of agents is what really drives it. Absolutely every NPC in the city can be recruited and is therefore playable, which is pretty exciting. Especially when you can play as a badass grandma like Helen who we were introduced to during E3 2019. The futuristic depiction of London already looks impeccably detailed, and with so many playable characters, Legion looks set to be the most interesting Watch Dogs entry yet.

Read more: Watch Dogs Legion: Parkouring grandmas, post-Brexit dystopian London and a world of playable character set it apart from the rest.

Cyberpunk 2077

Release date: November 19, 2020

Genre: Action-RPG

Buy: Cyberpunk 2077 pre-orders

What is it? A new game from CD Projekt Red, the creators of the hugely successful Witcher series.

Why is it so interesting? Cyberpunk 2077 is a first-person RPG that places a heavy emphasis on personal modding and action, and while it's still as deep an RPG as you'd expect, it's way more action-heavy than CD Projekt's previous game, The Witcher 3. One gameplay example we've seen is that you can shoot through enemies while hacking their weaponry with your mind, and scanning the environment with visual enhancements. Everything looks gorgeous in-game, and there's a real distinct look to everything, with the inhabitants of the city ranging from barely enhanced humans to outlandishly modified gangsters and technologically advanced drones. During E3 2019, we learnt a lot of new information, including the fact you'll be able to finish the game without committing a single kill, and freaking Keanu Reeves, who will be playing a big role in the RPG, took to the stage to reveal the long-awaited release date.

Carto

Release date: Fall 2020

Genre: Puzzle adventure

What is it? A "world-shifting" puzzle game from Humble Bundle and Sunhead Games

Why is it so interesting? With its charming art style and interesting puzzle mechanic, Carto looks set to take us on a wonderful adventure. As a cartographer called Carto, you rearrange pieces on of a map, and the world shifts and changes around you. By connecting pieces and joining up the tiles, you'll uncover new lands on the map as you help Carto journey home, and encounter a host of quirky characters who you can help and befriend.

Where the Heart Is

Release date: Winter 2020

Genre: Narrative Adventure



What is it? A choice-based narrative adventure that takes you on a journey through the protagonist Whit's life.

Why is it so interesting? Armature Studio is bringing us a narrative adventure that blends imagination with reality as you explore the protagonist Whit's past and future. From his childhood to adult life and beyond, every choice you make will influence where Whit's path will lead, with many different endings to discover. From surreal to emotional moments and everything in between, Where The Heart Is takes you on a story-driven journey that explores familial ties.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Release date: Holiday 2020

Genre: RPG

Buy: Assassin's Creed Valhalla pre-orders

What is it? The latest entry in the Assassin's Creed series filled with Viking action.

Why is it interesting? Assassin's Creed is returning with Valhalla, and happily, it's set to release towards the end of this year. As Viking assassin Eivor, you'll be able to choose to play as a man or woman and customise them with tattoos and hairstyles. Filled with plenty of RPG elements that build on the most recent Assassin's Creed games, you'll set out to 9th century England and build up settlements. With Viking raids, plenty of battling action, and choices to make, Valhalla looks set to be one very memorable assassin adventure.

Gods & Monsters

Release date: TBC 2020

Genre: Adventure

What is it? A new storybook adventure in a world of Greek mythology from the creators behind Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Why is it so interesting? The team behind Assassins Creed Odyssey announced at E3 2019 that it is breaking free from the limitations of the history books to bring us a new fantastical adventure based on the stories of Greek Mythology. As the hero of the story, the gods of Olympus turn to you for help, and bestow you with their powers to take on all the mythological creatures who have invaded the Isle of the Blessed. You'll work to save the gods and face down the most fearsome and powerful mythological creature of all. Gods & Monsters is wrapped up in a beautiful painterly style that promises to deliver one very charming and interesting open-world adventure.

Boundary

Release date: TBC 2020

Genre: FPS

What is it? A competitive first-person shooter set in space.

Why is it so interesting? It's a competitive first-person shooter set in space. Absolute madness. Not on a planet, or with ships, but astronauts armed to the teeth in the nothingness of space. You'll have multiple Astroperators to choose from (the devs term not mine), with various abilities and custom loadouts. There's a grappling hook too. It all looks a bit bonkers to be honest, and we're so down for it.

Worms Rumble

Release date: TBC 2020

Genre: Action



What is it? An area-based Worms experience with real-time combat



Why is it so interesting?

On the 25th anniversary of Worms, a new entry in the long-running series was first announced with Worms Rumble. As a single champion, you must head into the heat of combat in battles with up to 32 players. With lots of weaponry fans of the series will recognize, you can try to take out the competition in all manner of ways. Made up of several different modes, including a classic Deathmatch mode and the series' very own take on Battle Royale with Last Squad Standing, Worms Rumble really is shaking things up with real-time combat.
