Here comes a new one game year... Surely, you still have a bunch of uncompleted projects, but the industry does not stand still and fires new games at the speed of a machine gun. So it's time to see what the developers will surprise us with and make a list of what we can play in 2018 (but that's not certain). Then let's get started!

A project from the creators of the soul Brothers: A Tale of Two sons It also relies on the interaction of characters and tells the story of the prison break of two developers from the oppression of EA comrades - Vincent and Leo. The plot, interesting characters, mandatory co-op (both on one screen and over the network) and the ability to purchase one copy of the game for two are included.

The legendary strategy comes back to us in an updated form and, according to the developers, is something more than a banal remaster. The most "complete" edition offers us a beautiful picture with 4K support, improved gameplay and updated story company... And only in the Windows Store.

Never before has a walk through hell been so entertaining: in the form of a lost soul, admire the local beauty of the underworld, contact the same souls, move into busty demons and give slaps in the face of their relatives. And it's a first-person horror movie, by the way.

New Anno the era of industrial heyday and the development of diplomacy promises to absorb all the best from the series: many new opportunities for urban planning, an interesting story campaign, improved network mode and sandbox mode. Moreover, with close contact with the gaming community.

After very controversial Dragon age: Inquisition and Mass effect Andromeda, Studio Bioware intends to rehabilitate herself with her new RPG in a unique universe. As in past projects, the emphasis is on exploring a brave new world full of various adventures and dangers. An exosuit will help us in this, its jetpack will take us anywhere in the world, and the combat potential of the armor will cope with any monsters.

The saga of the Banner approaches its logical and, most likely, tragic ending. Darkness comes, and we continue to lead our caravan forward, only postponing the inevitable. Turn-based tactical battles, beautiful visuals, moral choices and interesting story about the Vikings will not go anywhere. All that remains is to believe that the ending of the story will be as epic as it is worthy to complete the saga.

Turn-based tactics in the famous universe from the developers Shadowrun was expected back in 2017, but something didn't work out. The money from the kickstarter has been collected for a long time, beta testing is being carried out, it remains to be hoped that we will get behind the wheel of combat mechs very soon.

This time, the events of the "snitch simulator" grew in scale. The residential building has been replaced by the Ministry of Management, and instead of the house manager, we take on the role of an employee of the Ministry. Surveillance and denunciations, plot intrigues and difficult choices - the path up the career ladder will be very thorny.

Natives of the studios that were responsible for the development Just Cause and Mad max, thought, and decided to make your own action RPG with a post-apocalyptic world, the basics of vivisection and a formidable raccoon or a ferret? in the role of the main character. Main feature it will be possible to use various mutations, prostheses and weapons that directly affect your fighting style.

BloodStained is an ideological heir Castlevania, and not just like that, because at the helm of development is Koji Igarashi - a famous game designer and creator Castlevania: Symphony of the Night... The project is presented in the form of a 2.5D platformer with role-playing elements, and the action will take place in a castle teeming with a wide variety of demons.

Despite the very rich literary material of Howard Lovecraft, according to whose work 1000 and 1 atmospheric horror can be made, he did not have much success in the gaming environment. The only worthy project is the "Call of Cthulhu" of the 2005 model and…. everything. Developers from Cyanide studio decided to restore the universal injustice and make their own thriller, where the next detective will go crazy trying to prevent the cult from awakening the ancient god from the bottom of the sea. "Pkh" nglui mglv "nafh Cthulhu R" leh vgakh "impudent fkhtagn".

Not so long ago came out wonderful Samorost 3and inside the studio Amanita Design work on a new funny quest is already in full swing - Chuсhel... As always, with a unique style, riddles, cute characters and the sheer absurdity of what is happening on the screen.

New global extortion of money from players addition to original game promises to bring fresh content in the form of new rulers, eras, city loyalty systems and diplomacy expansion, as well as new mechanics to show.

The new horror with notes of bioshock promises to be at least interesting. In the courtyard there is an alternative 20th century, the inventions of Nikola Tesla significantly changed the lives of citizens and for the sake of new discoveries even a huge ship complex was built. The newly minted journalist searches for her missing sister within this complex and quickly becomes convinced that truly terrible things can be hidden behind a beautiful shell.

Hardcore action RPG about bloodsucking japanese girls and boys who love to feed on the blood of their enemies and use it to their abilities. Created by the team behind the series God eater, and this is very clearly visible in a similar style.

This time, the rider Rage comes to the fore, using magic and masterly swinging a whip no worse than Gabriel from the last Castlevania: Lords of Shadow... It's hard to believe that the project will see the light of day this year, based on recent "raw" demos of the game, but we will still be optimistic about the beautiful far away. Although the very fact of the game's existence can already be considered a miracle, because until recently the series was considered practically buried.

Another adventure in the midst of a zombie apocalypse stands out from its congeners at least by the fact that it is one of the future main PS4 exclusives, and everything looks very high quality. As in any project of this kind, we have to investigate big world, fight for survival and craft resources. They will even give you a ride on a motorcycle to move around the world. Zombies here, by the way, attack in whole waves and have remarkable speed. They can also be used for their own selfish purposes during the cleanup of enemy bases, because as the saying goes, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

The popularity of the "Dark Sauce" series still does not allow many developers to sleep peacefully at night, forcing them to count souls instead of sheep. Here are the developers of the 2D platformer Death's Gambit clearly inspired by the above title, which, however, does not prevent the project from looking quite interesting. There is a medieval setting, there are bosses, there is a system of souls, even the complexity was made to match.

A game similar to Darkest dungeon in style and in gameplay, but at the same time having its own interesting finds. Made in a retro-futuristic comic book style, the project offers us the exploration of abandoned alien ships in the outskirts of outer space, a combination of turn-based combat with CCG elements, procedural level generation and wide customization options. The game is already in Early Access, with a full release expected this year.

The time of great innovation and technological progress has already arrived, and it has come to such an extent that the creation of androids for slave labor has already become commonplace. But bad luck, the machines began to acquire self-awareness and feelings. As in past games from Quantic dream, the project is an interactive movie with several characters and numerous choices that affect both the story and the fate of the heroes themselves (they may even die both in Heavy rain). The main theme of the game was the question "what does it mean to be human?"

For many years now we have heard about the project from the creators LittleBigPlanet, but everything on the release is not visible. At first glance, the game, which is sweet at first glance, exudes rays of creativity, inviting us to surf through other people's dreams, take part in solving various problems, and create various games and come up with new ones.

With every part a series Far cry more and more reminds Assassin's Creed - the scenery is replaced, but inside is the same composition, where only the proportions of some elements change. And if the third part at one time was really a surprise and felt in a new way, then you look at the current version without much enthusiasm, even yawning slightly. This time, the difficult one brought us to Montana. In a mountainous region isolated from the outside world, we are left face to face with wildlife, a strange cult and an army of sectarians represented by local rednecks. The only thing that can brighten up the game is the presence of a cooperative.

Games about samurai are now an infrequent guest for gamers, and so that even without any mysticism and mythology, they are completely rare. Because a new project from Sucker punch looks very attractive. They tell us about the period of the Mongol invasion of the land of the rising sun, and we, in the role of the people's avenger, must punish the offenders, becoming for them the worst nightmare. It is also interesting to see how the developers will show the Japanese flavor in all its glory.

The reimagining of the series came out as unexpected as possible. Kratos decides to radically change: now he does not drink, does not smoke, does not walk on girls, he is raising his son. Even though the house has not yet been built and the tree has not been planted. But jokes aside, shredding and beating enemies remained in place, but the approach has seriously changed. The son will be our assistant, like the interaction of Ellie and Joel, the setting has changed to the now fashionable Scandinavian, and the game has become more cinematic.

Griftlands

Achievement list Klei Entertaiment (Don’t Starve, Shank, Mark of the Ninja) will now be replenished with another promising project - a role-playing sandbox with turn-based battles. As before, the project is executed in the animation style usual for the studio. The procedural generation of NPCs in a dynamic world sounds interesting. We will also be managing several characters with a unique storyline for each.

Creator PAYDAY couldn't find anything better how to create your own indie studio and make another left 4 dead, evolve, payday co-op shooter for 4 players. We are running through underground complexes for nothing, but collecting resources to shoot crowds of monsters. It sounds corny, and it looks the same, but the game has one answer to all this - GTFO.

We are seldom pampered with high-quality "meat" shooters. In addition to recent DOOM with Wolfenstein 2 and there is nothing to remember, but the guys from the studio Saibot assure us, they say, guys, do not worry, you will have a shooter based on the classic patterns. Crazy dynamics, tons of explosions and non-stop shooting are included.

The studio that once gave us the first Far cry and series Crysis, is now going through hard times and is content with the development of a cooperative shooter. In the courtyard of 1800, little people live happily ever after, and in the dark corners of the world an unknown evil is born, with which we need to fight. The battles will be held against both bloodthirsty monsters and other players. The key feature is the generation of locations and monsters in each new game.

What? Do we have few projects inspired by the Souls series? Here's another, hot, hot, hardcore action RPG with a science fiction theme. We do not know who we are and where we are from, but we must save the dying world, the truth about which we will learn along the way. Sound familiar, isn't it?

Before us is a real-time strategy based on the dieselpunk universe known in certain circles "1920+", where huge robots have already become so familiar to people that they can pass for elements of the landscape and interior. It was created by the efforts of the Polish artist Jakub Rozalski, whose numerous works can be found on the Internet.

A project that also wanders from one annual expected list to another. The game has so many features that I can't believe: a non-linear plot and different ways completing quests, a unique combat system, flexible development of the hero, a large elaborate world and close interaction with hundreds of quest characters. Fortunately, the release date has already been decided, and we can go to the Middle Ages this spring.
