10 Most Anticipated PC Game Releases for 2018
2017 was certainly a landmark year for video gaming, but as we ring in 2018, it’s time to look forward to the games releasing this year. Jam-packed with hotly-anticipated sequels and brand spanking new productions, here are the 10 games we are most looking forward to playing in 2018.
A Way Out
A Way Out is a story-driven prison break action-adventure game with a major twist: you can only play in split-screen co-op mode – you’ll have to play alongside a friend, either online or IRL. You’ll play one of two protagonists, either Vincent or Leo, and you’ll have to team up with the other and learn how to work together in order to escape.
Metro: Exodus
Metro: Exodus is set in post-apocalyptic Moscow and is set to be a desolate story of isolation and despair. This first-person shooter is inspired by Metro 2035, the bestselling novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky, and is a true horror survival game with crazed creatures hiding at every turn.
Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 takes place in rural Montana and your sole objective is to take down ‘The Project at Eden’s Gate’ – a dogmatic and violent death-cult. Early previews have revealed much of the franchise’s most-beloved aspects such as breathtaking landscapes and meticulously designed maps.
Anthem
Game developer BioWare, well-known for their story driven franchises, have taken a leap and created a multiplayer RPG action game, Anthem. You’ll be known as a ‘freelancer’ in the world of Anthem and you’ll have to don a Javelin exosuit to venture outside the safety of a walled community to explore the unknown. You certainly won’t find online blackjack NZ out there!
