By Arven Get your wallet ready for these titles!!
A new year may be a time for new resolutions but it’s also a time for spicy, new games on the catalog. Here are the games we’re most excited about in the coming year!
Pokemon Legends Arceus
Pokemon Legends Arceus is the closest to open world a Pokemon game has ever been. For the first time, we are going for a trip to the past and we will be visiting a feudal version of Sinnoh, the setting of Pokemon Pearl and Diamond. With a new cast of characters and of course new Pokemon to capture and train, Arceus will definitely be a breath of fresh air in the beloved franchise. This is the most ambitious Pokemon title to date and fans are clamoring to get this one in their hands.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2
2017’s Breath of the Wild really skyrocketed the value of Nintendo’s Switch. A vast open world and very interesting mechanics made the original Breath of the Wild such an immersive game to play. Breath of the Wild 2 will expand the world even further and will introduce new mechanics such as exploring the world above Hyrule. We’re just hoping this game releases in 2022 since we’ve waited long enough… right?
Horizon Zero Dawn 2
Aloy returns once again to hunt robotics and uncover the truth of her world as Forbidden West continues her story. She ventures towards the ruins of San Francisco with next-gen visuals on the PlayStation 5. A lush and vast open world to be explored and lots of new mechs to destroy and dismantle. With the power of next-gen behind it, expect even more epic battles against larger than life enemies and even more futuristic enemies. Grab your bow and go on the hunt for the truth and mechanical monstrosities with Aloy again very, very soon.
Triangle Strategy
A beautiful 2D-HD strategy game that clearly pays homage to the greats of years past like Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre. Triangle Strategy offers a highly branching story dependent on the choices you make throughout the story and in battle. A beautiful soundtrack and mesmerizing art work accompanies what is looking to be an epic tale of warfare and betrayal with Triangle Strategy. This is definitely one of the most anticipated JRPG games coming in 2022.
God of War: Ragnarok
God of War: Ragnarok continues the romp of father-son duo Kratos and Atreus across mythology-filled Scandinavia. After beating Norse god Balder at the end of God of War, Kratos will tangle with more gods like a dad-bod Thor and maybe we’ll even get to meet the All-Father himself, Odin and mischievous god Loki this time as well. Cory Balrog and Santa Monica Studios haven’t disappointed themselves so far and we expect God of War: Ragnarok to remain firmly among the pantheon of the best in gaming.
Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy is an RPG that will let you become a student in the wonderful world of Harry Potter. Face the Sorting Hat, get a wand at Olivanders, go to class, and do so much more in this open world brimming with possibilities as you become the wizard or witch you’ve always wanted to be. Getting to explore every nook and cranny of the ever-changing Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a dream come true for Potterheads everywhere. Accio Hogwarts Legacy!
