The next-generation of video games is right around the corner as both the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 5 and the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X are set to release in the latter half of 2020. It's unclear outside of a few titles, what we should expect in terms o😼f launch and launch window releases, but there are even more mysteries for the years to come.
The conꩵsoles will need killer new experiences to push people into buying the new hardware when it hits store shelves. Let's take a look at 10 video game sequels that are likely already in dev⛄elopment for next-gen consoles.
10 🍷 Bioshock 4 ꦅ
It's been almost 7 years since the last release in the series, Bioshock: Infinite and fans are still waiting to get their hands on the next entry. Luckily for them, publisher 2K announced recently that their new development studio named Cloud Chamber has begun development on the next Bioshock title. They made it clear that the game is still in its early stages, but that they plan on getting it completed in the next couple of years. With next-gen consoles releasing in 2020, the new Bioshock title will likely release exclusivꦗely on those next-gen platforms.
9 𒀰 🌄 Horizon Zero Dawn 2
PlayStation's first-party game track record speaks for itself when you look at the number of critically praised games they've released consistently. With 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us Part II set to come 🌠out in mid-2020 fans are now looking towards the future for sequels to Sony's big three.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Horizon Zero Dawn released in 2017 and is the oldest game out of those big three which also include 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:God of War and . A sequel to Guerrilla🦩 Games smash hit will likely be the first one completed and many fans think it may be the premier launch title for the PlayStation 5 in Holiday 2020.
8 Gears 6
Considering Gears 5 just released in July 2019, fans shouldn't expect another mainline entry for quite some time. The fifth entry in the popular Xbox exclusive franchise did some new things that refreshed parts of the series but didn't hit the highs people expected. With The Coalition's studio head Rod Fergusson recently announcing he's leaving the studio to run the Diablo franchise for Activision/Blizzard, it seems that new leadership could bring a fresh perspective. Gears 6 could be the type of soft reboot/new direction the franchise has needed for several ye♏ars.
7 🐻 Monster Hunter: World 2
The168澳洲幸运5开奖网: Monster Hunter series was one of those video game franchises most Westerners thought was cool but stayed away due to how convoluted the gameplay looked. With Monster Hunter: World Capcom made it much more approachable for new players and in turn, were r💫ewarded with their best-selling game of all-time. They'll likely put out at least one more massive expansion to take ad𝓡vantage of that player base, but afterward don't be surprised when they try to double-dip on next-gen with a sequel that's hopefully even more streamlined for Western audiences.
6 The Outer Worlds🅠 2
When publisher Take-Two recently stated that the sale of 2 million copies and the inclusion of the game on Xbox's Game Pass subscription service made the definition of success for the title unclear, fans were worried about the future of The Outer Worlds. Thankfully the IP and studio are no🍒w owned by M꧒icrosoft, a company in need of some stellar exclusives.
This means that they've likely already greenlit a sequel if Obisidian Entertainment would like t🔯o do so, and considering the love they poured into the original, they'll likely want another shot with a bigger budget an♑d plenty more resources at their disposal.
5 🍷 God Of War: Ragnarok ꦗ
Now, it's unclear if the sequel to 2018's masterpiece known simply as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:God of War will have the subtitle of Ragnarok, but given the narrative hints after the first game, it's highly li🍸kely. Either way, fans are clamoring for another opportunity to take on the role of Kratos as he tries to save the crumbling world around him. Sony Santa Monica is likely already hard at work on this sequel, so the real question is about when we can expect it to release. The first game took around 4 years, so if you do the math and adjust based on familiarity with the engine and such the earliest we could see the follow-up is late 2021.
4 Grand Theft Auto VI 🐟
Grand Theft Auto as a franchise is in a very weird place right now. On one hand, some feel the game and its historically profitable online mode will simply be ported to next-gen and we might not see a full-fledged mainline sequel anytime soon. Another strong growing opinion is that in today's current culture it may be hard to write an interesting satirical narrative. With GTA Online being so successful some are questi💙oning if the next entry will even need a single-player component, or if it will just be a living online world.
3 𝔍 Resident Evil 8
The Resident Evil franchise went from being dormant and relegated to spinoffs, to now thriving more than it ever has. The series is riding a wave of both Resident Evil 7 and the Resident Evil 2 Remake coming out to critical praise on top of selling exceptionally well. In 2020 fans will see the release of the Resident Evil 3 Remake, which has them wondering when the next new mainline entry will release. According to big gaming outlets Resident Evil 8 is already in development and will be sticking with a first-person perspe𝐆ctive. Don't be surprised if it shows up at one of the next-gen consol♔e's reveals.
2 ꦐ Star꧋ Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2
There was a point where it seemed that the Star Wars license was going to be revoked from Electronic Arts for what seemed like negligence on their end, but as the developer does, Respawn Entertainment gave the world the best Star Wars game since possibly Knights of the Old Republic. The game not only showed EA that good single-player games sell but letting your devs use whatever engine they like could be beneficial. With only a few years left on their exclusive deal to develop Star Wars games, count on them cashing in on another Jedi: Fallen Order game.
1 Spider-Man﷽ 2
Sony recently decided to take Beyonce's advice and put a ring on Insomniac Games. The PlayStation platform owner swooped up the Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank developer for an impressive $229 million. This type of investment doesn't happen without a plan in place from both sides about the future of the partnership. Considering the commercial and critical success of the first game, Marvel Games and Sony have likely already had the studio begin development on the sequel. Thankfully there were plenty of teases in the first game about where the story might go 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in the sequel.
