Best upcoming PC games of 2013 #1
We gaming enthusiasts are always looking forward to the titles that are going to ship in the near future. Well, when you have in mind that upcoming games often make use of advanced, new techniques, and the fact that we’ve already beaten all the current hot games, it becomes perfectly clear why it’s so easy to get excited over the titles that happen to be right around the corner. Our fingers are always itching to install something new on our gaming rigs, and now that we’ve mentioned “rigs,” we’d like to point out that we’ll now take a look at a number of hot, upcoming games for the PC. Games that, with a bit of luck, will hit our hard drives by the end of the year…
Neverwinter
Expected to arrive as soon as June 20, Neverwinter will be a free-to-play MMORPG based on a modified edition of the Dungeons & Dragons rule-set. The game is expected to feature 5 different hero classes, while players will be able to form groups of up to 5 heroes (human- or AI-controlled), so it seems that Neverwinter will not be one of those RPG where you’re a lone wolf doing everything by yourself. Interestingly, the developers from Cryptic Games say that Neverwinter will not be just another MMORPG, but will actually offer a very strong storyline that players will simply be able to experience together with other players.
Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag
Love it or hate it, the Assassin’s Creed series has become a runaway success, which means that there are tons of players out there who’re waiting for the latest installment in the series – Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag. The interesting thing about Black Flag is that it will feature a lot of sea action, and the protagonist will ever be manage a ship that will be taking you to your various destinations. Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is scheduled for an October 29 release, though Europeans will be able to join the party a couple of days later, on November 1.
Fortnite
We’re looking forward to checking out Fortnite not so much because of gameplay, but because it’ll be the first game to make use of Epic Games’ new Unreal Engine 4! And as everybody who’s closely following the gaming industry knows, the introduction of a new Unreal Engine is a pretty big deal, as it’ll end up being used by a multitude of dev studios for numerous exciting projects. Still, Fortnite itself doesn’t seem to be pushing the graphical capabilities of the engine to the max, due to its specific style, but we still think that it’ll be a pretty cool game. After all, it’s got an interesting concept (scavenge during the day, defend during the night), and it has zombies in it! No specific release date has been announced yet, but it should become available sometime later this year.
Watch Dogs
Watch Dogs is a game that’s said to deliver a true next-gen experience, no matter what that’s supposed to mean. Coming to all major platforms on November 19 in the US and November 22 in the EU, Watch Dogs will put you into the shoes of protagonist Aiden Pearce who’s going to be on the hunt for some pretty valuable information in a city where any connected device is being monitored by a smart supercomputer named CtOS. As you can see from the image, in addition to cracking and hacking, Aiden will also be quite skillful at using firearms (and vehicles), so get yourselves ready for an explosive action-adventure stealth game!
Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Speaking of stealth, a new Splinter Cell game is right around the corner! Scheduled to be released on August 20 in the US and August 23 in the EU, Splinter Cell: Blacklist is going to pick up the story of agent Sam Fisher right where Conviction left it. Things will be very different this time, though, as agent Fisher will no longer be a fugitive, but will actually head the newly-formed Fourth Echelon. Being the commander of a group of elite operatives will not be a desk job, though, as a bunch of extremely dangerous terrorists will be threatening to do some very bad things to the world, and it’ll be up to Sam Fisher and company to stop them and save the day. Hopefully the gameplay will not be as “streamlined” as in Conviction…
Command & Conquer
The beloved Command & Conquer franchise is returning this year with a game that’s said to be a sequel to C&C: Generals, but will be titled simply Command & Conquer. In a way, EA is hoping that this is going to be a successful reboot of the series, and we have to say that we’re very excited about this game, partly because it’ll be available as a free-to-play title. Not that we’re such big fans of free-to-play, but we can see where EA is going with the whole concept of purchasable generals. This fall is the time when C&C will be back, complete with straightforward base-building and impressive action scenes!
Company of Heroes 2
After a bunch of expansions, the critically-acclaimed Company of Heroes is finally getting a real sequel this year in Company of Heroes 2. Once again set in WWII, the campaign mode of the game is going to focus on the story of Lev Abramovich Isakovich, a lieutenant from the Soviet Army. The tactical top-down battles will be coming to your screen on June 25.
Call of Duty: Ghosts
This wouldn’t be a complete list of hot upcoming games if we don’t mention the Call of Duty game of the year – Call of Duty: Ghosts. Produced by original series developer, Infinity Ward, Ghosts take the franchise in a slightly new direction as it’ll be set in the near future, where America is no longer seen as a major world force. The protagonist of the story will be part of a special elite squad called Ghosts, and your mission will be to fight against an enemy that threatens what’s left of America and the world. Call of Duty: Ghosts is going to launch on November 5 for all major platforms, including the good old PC.
