The most anticipated games of 2015
It’s already been fairly a year. We’ve seen the release of the final entry in the Batman: Arkham series, wandered the seemingly endless wilderness as a cat-eyed monster hunter in The Witcher Three, and died more times than we could count in Bloodborne. but two thousand fifteen isn’t over yet. There’s so much more to look forward to and the best games of two thousand fifteen may yet be on the way. Just take a look at the 2nd half of this year’s lineup. It’s almost too good
Halo Five, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fallout Four, and other revered series are on their way. Then there are games like Starlet Wars Battlefront and Guitar Hero Live, providing their respective franchises a fresh embark on new-gen hardware. With games like these, the year is looking like it’s going to finish strong. And just so you don’t miss out on anything, here is our list of our most anticipated games for the rest of 2015.
Fallout Four
Available on: November ten (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
It’s ultimately happening, and it’s happening this year. The next game from the creators of Skyrim and Fallout three (is that a killer portfolio, or what?) will head to Boston hundreds of years after the nuclear apocalypse, providing players an all-new irradiated wasteland to explore. Even more arousing than where you’ll be, tho’, is who you’ll be: Fallout four commences before the bombs drop, following your character as he or she takes shelter in Vault one hundred eleven and mysteriously resurfaces two hundred years later.
That means your character has a bit more personality than usual, with fully-voiced dialogue, and a lot more skill, enlargening your options for survival and crafting. You even can build your own settlement, a bastion of civilization out in the wastes, but be ready to defend it from mutants and raiders. In other words, it sounds a lot like Fallout three meets Metal Gear Solid Five, with explosions more stuff than both of them. Better clear your calendar for November (and the rest of winter).
Guitar Hero Live
Available on: October twenty (Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U)
Better embark getting your fingers heated up because the fresh Guitar Hero Live has a redesigned controller that’s going to put your riffing abilities to the test. There are six buttons on two rows permitting you to string together notes and pull off chord patterns that weren’t possible on the old controllers. That isn’t everything that’s switched to get you back to rocking out to pop classics in your living room. Guitar Hero Live is letting you live out your rock starlet fantasies on stage, in first-person, and in front of a live-action audience.
The game’s campaign brings you backstage with a live-action band and walks you out to flourishing crowds of thousands of screaming fans. If you perform well, the fans will proceed to love you, but begin flubbing those notes and you will face the rage of the booing crowd and your disappointed band mates. Guitar Hero Live will also feature an online Guitar Hero TV service, which will present fresh songs and challenges to players looking for more music to master.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Available on: November ten (Xbox One, Xbox 360)
Now that she’s recovered from the exceptional amount of injuries she sustained during her time in Yamatai (the physical ones anyway), Lara Croft is back for a brand fresh, likely painful escapade. Where last time her only aim was to get through, this time she’s hell-bent on finding a individual purpose and proof that she isn’t as mad as everyone thinks. Proving the existence of an immortal prophet seems like it hits the sweet spot in this regard. But a well-funded shadow organization is attempting to get their very first, so Lara will have to use every trick in her book to reach that purpose, up to and including bear-battling.
While it’s titillating that Rise of the Tomb Raider will feature a more in-depth crafting system, hunting challenges, and amazingly diverse locations, the comeback of deep and detailed tombs is what’s truly got us gutting our wallets. Granted there will be some the one-off challenge room from the Tomb Raider reboot sprinkled here and there, but show-stopping, multi-step tombs will be the starlet of the showcase, and we can’t wait to weep with frustration attempting to solve them.
Halo Five: Guardians
Available on: October twenty seven (Xbox One)
Cortana is (possibly) dead, Master Chief has gone AWOL, a fresh generation of Spartans have arrived in utter force, the Forerunner have returned. Oh, and there’s aim-down glances now; everything about Halo Five: Guardians seems to be deconstructing the sci-fi shooter series, providing us fresh twists and taking unexpected turns. These switches make us jumpy, but also terribly excited.
After all, Halo – much-loved as it is – is a bit long in the cybernetically-enhanced tooth at this point. Developer three hundred forty three Industries has taken the reigns from former developer Bungie and made the games unmistakably their own, but this is the teams very first total effort on Xbox One. However, with gorgeous presentation, an intriguing storyline, fresh characters, fresh squad-based gameplay mechanics and a refined multiplayer practice, Halo five is shaping up very nice indeed.
Tearaway Unfolded
Available on: September eight (PS4)
Tearaway exploits all of PS Vita’s veritable Swiss Army knife of sensors and buttons to create an practice that truly puts You at the center (literally – it uses the front camera to put you in the sun). Brilliant as Tearaway is, it’s still sensational to Sony’s quiet little handheld, and that means comparatively few people have been able to love it. That’s where Tearaway Unfolded comes in.
Tearaway Unfolded doesn’t just translate the practice onto PS4 – and, more importantly, DualShock four – it adds to it. Sure, you can use the touchpad to make your in-game creations, but you can also blast up the companion app for a thicker, more precise canvas. You can hold up your controller to catch items, then flick up on the touchpad to send them sailing back out, or even use movement controls to shine the light bar around the world. If you didn’t catch the adventures of Iota and Atoi the very first time around, don’t miss your 2nd chance.
Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate
Available on: October twenty three (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Set in one thousand eight hundred sixty eight London, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate goes after twins Evie and Jacob Frye as they attempt to win the city back from their Templar nemeses, who have eliminated all political opposition in the lead-up to the industrial revolution and now rule Britain as a fully-fledged shadow government. It’s a bit like Oliver Twist, except with more stabbing and perverse street brawls, and less gruel.
While the familiar Assassin’s Creed formula seems alive and well here – run along rooftops, kill targets on the sly, use magic x-ray vision to keep tabs on your targets – Syndicate also brings along some brand fresh mechanics, and adds a bit more grind to established ones. Now you’ll be able to steal, drive, and fight on top of carriages (and the roofs of moving trains). You’ll also have a cable launcher (read: grappling hook) that will let you climb buildings or set-up air assassinations, making your parkouring killers twice as efficient. Combat is now more up close and private, and stealth more diverse, making Syndicate look like a finish and attractive package.
ADR1FT
Available on: September (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
ADR1FT (or Adrift, if you like being able to pronounce things) is the sort of thing you’d get if you took Gravity and Gone Home and smooshed them together truly hard, then had the result drape out at Alien: Isolation’s house for a while. You play as an amnesiac astronaut and the apparent foot survivor of an event that left your space station in tatters. Oh, and you’re running out of oxygen. Joy!
Your objective in ADR1FT is twofold: don’t die, and get back home. The actual gameplay behind that looks to be fairly plain, as it primarily involves you floating around the remains of the station, solving puzzles and gathering clues and precious oxygen tanks alike. It’ll also feature Oculus support, which sounds both awesome and unbelievably horrifying – gravely, the announcement trailer alone makes us jumpy. That’s all we truly know about ADR1FT, so make sure to keep an ear out. In space, no one can hear you scream, so you’ll have to listen close.
Forza 6
Available on: September fifteen (Xbox One)
Forza five wasn’t as good as Forza Four. Fact. Sure, it looked all shiny and had drivatars and Top Gear and everything, but it was comparatively disappointing. So the prospect of Forza six righting all the wrongs of its predecessor is tantalising indeed. We’re getting night races, humid weather, an improved risk/prize system for earning credits, more tracks, four hundred fifty cars, total 1080p/60fps display this is looking like real deal.
But perhaps the reason to be most excited about the game is the introduction of multiplayer leagues. This will pit you against people of a like-minded treatment to racing. Idiots will have to race idiots, gentlemen will have to race gentlemen. It sounds too good to be true. Hopefully it won’t be.
Battleborn
Available on: TBA two thousand fifteen (PC, Xbox One, PS4)
We’ve technically already had Borderlands in space, but why stop at visiting a moon? There are all sorts of worlds out there packed with fascinating creatures for you to hammer the tar out of and call mean names. If that’s what you’re looking for, Gearbox’s upcoming co-op FPS Battleborne has you covered.
An epic space venture where a group of misfits from across the universe battle for the fate of the last living starlet, Battleborn shoots for epic scale without leaving behind the cheeky banter and silliness that has endeared players to Gearbox games before. There’s slew of that to be found, like an overzealous military bro-bot and a swordsman who knows that anything you want is yours as long as you gobble it very first. Playing to Gearbox’s strengths in a entire fresh galaxy, this looks like one hell of a joy intergalactic beat-down.

Fallout Four
Available on: November ten (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
It’s ultimately happening, and it’s happening this year. The next game from the creators of Skyrim and Fallout three (is that a killer portfolio, or what?) will head to Boston hundreds of years after the nuclear apocalypse, providing players an all-new irradiated wasteland to explore. Even more arousing than where you’ll be, however, is who you’ll be: Fallout four embarks before the bombs drop, following your character as he or she takes shelter in Vault one hundred eleven and mysteriously resurfaces two hundred years later.

Rise of the Tomb Raider
Available on: November ten (Xbox One, Xbox 360)
Now that she’s recovered from the exceptional amount of injuries she sustained during her time in Yamatai (the physical ones anyway), Lara Croft is back for a brand fresh, likely painful venture. Where last time her only objective was to sustain, this time she’s hell-bent on finding a individual purpose and proof that she isn’t as mad as everyone thinks. Proving the existence of an immortal prophet seems like it hits the sweet spot in this regard. But a well-funded shadow organization is attempting to get their very first, so Lara will have to use every trick in her book to reach that purpose, up to and including bear-battling.
While it’s arousing that Rise of the Tomb Raider will feature a more in-depth crafting system, hunting challenges, and exceptionally diverse locations, the come back of deep and detailed tombs is what’s indeed got us gutting our wallets. Granted there will be some the one-off challenge room from the Tomb Raider reboot sprinkled here and there, but show-stopping, multi-step tombs will be the starlet of the showcase, and we can’t wait to weep with frustration attempting to solve them.
Halo Five: Guardians
Available on: October twenty seven (Xbox One)
Cortana is (possibly) dead, Master Chief has gone AWOL, a fresh generation of Spartans have arrived in utter force, the Forerunner have returned. Oh, and there’s aim-down glances now; everything about Halo Five: Guardians seems to be deconstructing the sci-fi shooter series, providing us fresh twists and taking unexpected turns. These switches make us jumpy, but also terribly excited.
After all, Halo – much-loved as it is – is a bit long in the cybernetically-enhanced tooth at this point. Developer three hundred forty three Industries has taken the reigns from former developer Bungie and made the games unmistakably their own, but this is the teams very first total effort on Xbox One. However, with gorgeous presentation, an intriguing storyline, fresh characters, fresh squad-based gameplay mechanics and a refined multiplayer practice, Halo five is shaping up very nice indeed.
Tearaway Unfolded
Available on: September eight (PS4)
Tearaway exploits all of PS Vita’s veritable Swiss Army knife of sensors and buttons to create an practice that truly puts You at the center (literally – it uses the front camera to put you in the sun). Brilliant as Tearaway is, it’s still special to Sony’s quiet little handheld, and that means comparatively few people have been able to love it. That’s where Tearaway Unfolded comes in.
Tearaway Unfolded doesn’t just translate the practice onto PS4 – and, more importantly, DualShock four – it adds to it. Sure, you can use the touchpad to make your in-game creations, but you can also fountain up the companion app for a thicker, more precise canvas. You can hold up your controller to catch items, then flick up on the touchpad to send them sailing back out, or even use movability controls to shine the light bar around the world. If you didn’t catch the adventures of Iota and Atoi the very first time around, don’t miss your 2nd chance.
Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate
Available on: October twenty three (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Set in one thousand eight hundred sixty eight London, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate goes after twins Evie and Jacob Frye as they attempt to win the city back from their Templar nemeses, who have eliminated all political opposition in the lead-up to the industrial revolution and now rule Britain as a fully-fledged shadow government. It’s a bit like Oliver Twist, except with more stabbing and perverse street brawls, and less gruel.
While the familiar Assassin’s Creed formula seems alive and well here – run along rooftops, kill targets on the sly, use magic x-ray vision to keep tabs on your targets – Syndicate also brings along some brand fresh mechanics, and adds a bit more grind to established ones. Now you’ll be able to steal, drive, and fight on top of carriages (and the roofs of moving trains). You’ll also have a strap launcher (read: grappling hook) that will let you climb buildings or set-up air assassinations, making your parkouring killers twice as efficient. Combat is now more up close and individual, and stealth more diverse, making Syndicate look like a finish and attractive package.
ADR1FT
Available on: September (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
ADR1FT (or Adrift, if you like being able to pronounce things) is the sort of thing you’d get if you took Gravity and Gone Home and smooshed them together truly hard, then had the result drape out at Alien: Isolation’s house for a while. You play as an amnesiac astronaut and the apparent foot survivor of an event that left your space station in tatters. Oh, and you’re running out of oxygen. Joy!
Your aim in ADR1FT is twofold: don’t die, and get back home. The actual gameplay behind that looks to be fairly ordinary, as it primarily involves you floating around the remains of the station, solving puzzles and gathering clues and precious oxygen tanks alike. It’ll also feature Oculus support, which sounds both awesome and unbelievably horrifying – gravely, the announcement trailer alone makes us jumpy. That’s all we indeed know about ADR1FT, so make sure to keep an ear out. In space, no one can hear you scream, so you’ll have to listen close.
Forza 6
Available on: September fifteen (Xbox One)
Forza five wasn’t as good as Forza Four. Fact. Sure, it looked all shiny and had drivatars and Top Gear and everything, but it was comparatively disappointing. So the prospect of Forza six righting all the wrongs of its predecessor is tantalising indeed. We’re getting night races, humid weather, an improved risk/prize system for earning credits, more tracks, four hundred fifty cars, total 1080p/60fps display this is looking like real deal.
But perhaps the reason to be most excited about the game is the introduction of multiplayer leagues. This will pit you against people of a like-minded treatment to racing. Idiots will have to race idiots, gentlemen will have to race gentlemen. It sounds too good to be true. Hopefully it won’t be.
Battleborn
Available on: TBA two thousand fifteen (PC, Xbox One, PS4)
We’ve technically already had Borderlands in space, but why stop at visiting a moon? There are all sorts of worlds out there packed with fascinating creatures for you to hit the tar out of and call mean names. If that’s what you’re looking for, Gearbox’s upcoming co-op FPS Battleborne has you covered.
An epic space venture where a group of misfits from across the universe battle for the fate of the last living starlet, Battleborn shoots for epic scale without leaving behind the cheeky banter and silliness that has endeared players to Gearbox games before. There’s slew of that to be found, like an overzealous military bro-bot and a swordsman who knows that anything you want is yours as long as you eat it very first. Playing to Gearbox’s strengths in a entire fresh galaxy, this looks like one hell of a joy intergalactic beat-down.
