Many new enemies await us, but the village itself must become a truly unique character, the riddles of which Ethan will have to solve, despite the fear.

To improve performance on the track, it will be possible to change not only the wheels or body parts, but almost every part under the hood. In addition, we will have our own garage, a driving school, lectures by professional racers, online competitions and a solo career. They promise a huge assortment of cars, including classic ones, and a whole bunch of modes, including Simulation Mode.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits

IN Kena: Bridge of Spirits we will be able to plunge into a world where there are so-called spiritual guides - people who help restless souls to find peace. The main character named Kena is one of them. And together with her we have to find out what prevents the spirits from finding peace.

One of them is desperately trying to break out of the paradox, while the other, meanwhile, is happy with everything.

And preparing for such a task promises to be a difficult test.

Oddworld: Soulstorm

Soulstorm is the second installment of the once iconic Oddworld series, relaunched in 2014. She will continueOddworld: New 'n' Tasty , which was in fact a remake of the very first part of the franchise. However, if the game of 2014 repeated the original frame by frame, Soulstorm promises to become a more or less independent project.

The protagonist is a representative of the mudokon race Abe, who learned that the bones and tears of his fellow tribesmen are being used to produce the dangerous Soulstorm Brew drink. His task is to save the mudokons from unprincipled capitalists and put an end to the miserable existence of his people.

The game is expected to be released in Spring 2021 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC.

Gothic remake

Demo The remake of one of the most famous RPGs of the early 2000s received a warm welcome. And this, according to the developers from THQ Nordic, means one thing - in December 2021 we will see a new generation of Gothic. Unfortunately, the original authors do not participate in the work on the remake. However, it is already clear that this will not be just a tracing paper from the 2001 game, but its rethinking.

New Gothic will differ from its prototype with a combat system, dialogues and methods of exploring the world. However, the creators promise that, despite this, the veterans of the series will be able to feel "the very" atmosphere of the original. The game will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC.

Horizon forbidden west

Forbidden West will continue the adventures of Aloy, a girl who lives in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by bestial robots.

Details are still scarce, but from the announcement trailer it is known that the brave Aloy intends to explore new lands and artifacts left over from humanity that almost died out in the distant past, and also to find the source of some ailment that affects animals. In addition, the heroine will have to face old enemies - the cult of the out-of-control artificial intelligence AID.

The release is expected to take place in the second half of 2021 on PS5 and later on PC. If so, then in the near future it is worth waiting for new trailers and details.

Final fantasy 16

Another loud announcement made at the PlayStation 5 presentation. According to Square Enix, The new part of the franchise will tell us the story of a world called Valistea, where five states were formed around the crystal mountains, giving people ether.

The protagonist of the game is the knight Clive Rosfield, son of the Archduke of one of the five kingdoms of Valistea. His younger brother Joshua has the gift of summoning the Phoenix, the Akon of Fire, and local rulers use him to defend their country's flag in wars with their neighbors. The fragile peace in Valistea threatens to collapse, but one day the warring nations have a common enemy - filth. Our heroes will have to face it.

The game is slated to launch in 2021 for the PlayStation 5 with a subsequent port to PC. The exact release date has not yet been announced.

Evil Dead: The Game

Evil Dead: The Game is not the first Evil Dead video game, however, unlike its predecessors, it is an online action thriller.

According to the developers, players will be able to unite in groups to fight the demonic hordes. Moreover, the AI-controlled dead will not be their only enemies: the game will also have a PvP mode.

The project will be released in 2021 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch and PC. The exact release date is still unknown.

Dragon age

No, this is not a remake of the original Dragon Age , a direct sequelDragon Age: Inquisition . The main storyline will be the story of the elven magician Solas, one of our companions in the "Inquisition". However, the developers have promised that he will not be the only familiar character. At the same time, a new protagonist will appear in the game - "the one who can overcome evil forces."

So far, we have not seen any real gameplay or storyline. In the fresh trailer, they showed only a cut of frames showing what the world of the game has become.

And although the stage of readiness is difficult to assess, while the project is still planned to be released in the fall-winter of 2021. Dragon Age will be available for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X | S, and PC.

Hogwarts Legacy

The first "full-size" Harry Potter game in a long time. Fans of "potterians" are waiting for an action-RPG with an open world, the ability to customize their character and write their own history of events that took place within the walls of the Hogwarts school in the 19th century.

Since the project will chronologically be a prequel to the book universe, we will not see Harry and his friends, not Dumbledore, not even Tom Riddle or Newt Scamander. However, they left a couple of familiar faces: for example, in the castle, you can still meet Almost Headless Nick.

The developers promise a special experience from the game to PS5 owners, as Hogwarts Legacy makes extensive use of DualSense capabilities. However, it will also be available for PS4, as well as Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC. The release, according to information on the official website of the project, is expected in 2021. There is no exact date.

GhostWire: Tokyo

GhostWire: Tokyo after the demonstration at the Sony conference caused heated discussions: there are a lot of incomprehensible things in it. Only one thing is clear from the announcement trailer: we have to play the role of a man who fights ghosts with magic. Since the gameplay is based on the fact that with the help of two hands to conjure something deadly, it makes sense to expect widespread use of the capabilities of the DualSense controller.

In their previous projects, Tango Gameworks have demonstrated their ability to create an oppressive atmosphere and stylish design. We hope that this time they will not disappoint. The game is expected to be released in 2021 on PlayStation 5 and PC.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

The long-awaited sequel to the cult classic may finally see the light of day in 2021. This time we will watch the squabbles of the vampire clans in Seattle - "the city of many factions and attractive, but dangerous characters."

The developers threaten to provide even more room for the development and customization of the hero than in the first Bloodlines . As before, you can try on the role of a charming aristocrat, a cold villain, or even a crazy bloodsucker. However, in the latter case, one must bear in mind that violation of the Masquerade still does not promise anything good.

Exit Bloodlines 2 is expected on PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Series, as well as PC. Hopefully, the RPG will not be carried over for another year .

God of War: Ragnarok

Continuation God of War 2018 will tell us what happened next with the god of war Kratos and his son Atreus in the world of the Scandinavian gods. Judging by the subtitle, the heroes will have to face the end of the world, which, according to myths, will erase the universe and the gods from the face, and the whole world along with them. However, it is possible that the heroes themselves will become the cause of Ragnarok.

So far, we have not been shown any gameplay or story scenes. In addition, it is still unknown whether the game will be exclusive to the PlayStation 5 or whether it will be available to PlayStation 4 owners. However, from the words thatRagnarok will be released in 2021, the developers still have not given up.

Biomutant

"Post-apocalyptic kung fu fairy tale" Biomutant, after several transfers, may also be released next year. Back in the summer of 2020, the creative director of the game reported: work on it is in the final stage, so there is a hope that the project will be released in the next two to three months.

Biomutant is set in a world full of intelligent animal-like mutants. Leveling the hero here also implies new mutations. We are promised a large open world, various mounts, a wide crafting system, rich character customization, and the ability to use not only weapons, but also giant robots in battle.

The exact release date of the game has not yet been determined - according to the developers, they will name it when they are sure. However, stores point to 2021. According to the latest data, the project will be available for PS4, Xbox One and PC. What is the situation with the version for the new generation consoles is still unknown.
