Looks Like A Good Future For Xbox
Microsoft's Xbox One turns six years old in 2019, and the console has plenty of new games on the near horizon. In the following gallery, we list our 35 most anticipated new Xbox One games that are currently scheduled for release in 2019 and beyond.
Remember, this gallery is just for the games we're anticipating, not every game coming to Xbox One. Some of these games don't have a set release date either, so they could end up being delayed to 2020 or later. After the initial collection of games that are scheduled for 2019, we outline the titles that might or definitely will release after 2019. These second collection of games have been marked as "Beyond 2019." This gallery is not ranked and we've simply listed titles in alphabetical order. For the games we're looking forward to on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS, or PC, check out our other galleries that are outlined below.
As of publishing this gallery, Crackdown 3 is the first major console exclusive coming to Xbox One in 2019, but it certainly isn't the last. Gears 5 is probably the biggest one, but there are a few indies--namely Tunic and Ori and the Will of the Wisps--as well. Some, including all of Microsoft's first-party titles such as Crackdown and Gears, even come included in Xbox Game Pass on the day of their launch.
Like the past few years, it looks like third-party titles are where Xbox One is getting most of its most anticipated games though. BioWare's Anthem and Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts III come early in the year, with Devil May Cry 5, Doom Eternal, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and many more following throughout 2019. Xbox One is getting some third-party indies too, like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Indivisible.

Anthem
Anthem appears to be BioWare's most ambitious project to date, and the developer has a lot to prove after the lackluster reception of Mass Effect Andromeda. Yet Anthem looks as if it can meet the expectations that BioWare has laid out: allowing players to seamlessly traverse between a single-player narrative that's built around forging relationships and a multiplayer shared world.
In Anthem, you take control of a Freelancer, someone who pilots exosuits called Javelins to explore the lush jungles of an alien world. How you upgrade your suit is totally up to you, and Anthem launches with four different Javelin models. There's the all-rounder Ranger, tank-like Colossus, close-quarter specialist Interceptor, and damage-dealer Storm. You'll be able to build and use multiple Javelins, all of which you can use to fly through the air like you're Iron Man. Anthem can be played solo, but gameplay footage has revealed that teaming up with others is the ideal strategy for surviving against harder enemies.

A Plague Tale: Innocence
We don't know much about A Plague Tale: Innocence, but the puzzle survival game developed by the same folks behind ReCore looks promising. First shown off at E3 2018, A Plague Tale puts you in control of Amicia, a teenage noble who's on the run with her younger brother, Hugo, from Inquisition soldiers during the Hundred Years' War.
Although Amicia can knock out soldiers with her trusty sling, she and her brother aren't strong enough to take on multiple armed guards. A distraction can work in a pinch, but a much more direct, and more gruesome, method of dispatching enemies is using fire to scare hordes of hungry plague rats towards them. Even when you're not watching a man being eaten alive by rats, A Plague Tale is full of disturbing imagery--including a scene where Amicia has to convince Hugo he won't wake up a pile of "sleeping" soldiers if he steps on their bloated corpses in order to cross a field.

Battletoads (2019)
After years of speculation that another Battletoads might exist, Microsoft announced during its E3 2018 briefing that a new game in the series would release in 2019. Currently just called Battletoads, this new game will be presented in hand drawn 2.5D graphics and feature three-player couch co-op.
In terms of details, that's pretty much all that's been announced. However, the fact that we're getting a new Battletoads at all is pretty exciting. The last title in the franchise, Battletoads Arcade, released in 1994, so fans have been clamoring for another game for over two decades. Hopefully this game can live up to expectations.
Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
The recent trend of indie-developed Metroidvania-inspired games continues in 2019 with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. In Bloodstained, you'll play as Miriam, a woman cursed to crystalize if she absorbs too many discarded shards from demons. Awoken from a coma by an alchemist, Miriam is tasked with stopping Gabel, another victim of the same experiments that changed her, and the army of demons he's summoned.
Much like the Castlevania games it is inspired from, defeating enemies in Bloodstained unlocks new abilities. Bloodstained itself looks a lot like a Castlevania game, with Miriam jumping and attacking with precise movements along a 2D plane. The core game is scheduled for 2019, with additional content planned to release post-launch.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, Switch, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Code Vein
Even if it's not based on an anime, it's exciting to see a game that looks like Code Vein on Xbox One. This action role-playing game features stamina-based melee combat that's inspired by the critically acclaimed Soulsborne games, and also adds its own vampire mythos to build fascinating backstories for its varied cast of characters.
Originally planned for a September 28, 2018 release, Bandai Namco delayed Code Vein to 2019 after noticing the game had developed a fairly large following. "Armed with knowledge of how well the game has already been received, we made the decision to postpone the release of Code Vein to further refine its gameplay in an effort to exceed the expectations fans already have of the title," Bandai Namco vice president of marketing Eric Hartness said. Fingers crossed this translates into Bandai transforming a good-looking game into a great one.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Control
Developed by Remedy Entertainment, Control seems to borrow narrative themes and gameplay mechanics from several of the studio's previous games, such as Alan Wake and Quantum Break. Control puts you in the shoes of Jesse Faden, a woman with supernatural abilities who breaks into the Federal Bureau of Control--a fictional government agency that researches ways to explain and exploit paranormal phenomenon--in search of answers to how she has powers.
Of course, things don't work out very well for her, and Jesse ends up confronted with threats she has to handle with her powers and a shapeshifting pistol. Combat looks explosive, with Jesse able to use the destructible environment to her advantage. The story feels a lot like the 2018 film Annihilation, and delves into the dark side of science fiction--something Remedy excels at and is happy to get back to.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Crackdown 3
The long-awaited sequel to 2010's Crackdown 2, Crackdown 3 has been delayed numerous times over the past few years. Hopefully its 2019 release date sticks so we can finally play it. Taking place 10 years after the events of the previous game, Crackdown 3 sees the Agency going up against a mysterious terrorist organization called Terra Nova.
Similarly to Saints Row, the Crackdown series has become more outrageous with every iteration and Crackdown 3 takes the Agency's soldiers' antics to ludicrous levels of ridiculous. In your quest to stop the enemy, you'll probably cause almost as much damage to the city as the people you're fighting. It's all good though, as taking down baddies in the most explosive way possible is what Crackdown is all about.
Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: February 15, 2019
Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course
Although not a standalone game, The Delicious Last Course DLC adds a fair amount of content to Cuphead. The expansion includes a third playable character, Ms. Chalice, as well as a new isle that contains more bosses to beat and weapons and charms to unlock.
In our Cuphead review, Peter Brown gave the game an 8/10, writing, "[Cuphead is] beautiful to look at, and with a pitch-perfect soundtrack, it flawlessly captures the era its developers so clearly revere. It's also an intense action game that pulls no punches. It could benefit from a few tweaks, and two-player co-op doesn't feel like the valuable addition you might imagine, but Cuphead remains a rare, unique game that truly stands out."
Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan
Supermassive, the developer of Until Dawn, is creating a new collection of standalone, cinematic horror games, and the first one is scheduled for 2019. Man of Medan is the first part of The Dark Pictures Anthology and it looks just as creepy as the studio's wendigo-infested PS4-exclusive that released back in 2015.
In Man of Medan, you guide the actions of a group of young adults that are trapped aboard a ghost ship. Your decisions will shape the outcome of the story, including who's left alive by the story's end. We're excited for the release of Man of Medan, both to relive the same type of terror experienced in Until Dawn and to find out what Supermassive has in store for the rest of The Dark Pictures Anthology.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Dead Or Alive 6
In an effort to attract a larger playerbase, Team Ninja is trying to make Dead or Alive 6 more approachable and accessible for series newcomers. The sexual fanservice and intricate system of blows, blocks, and grabs are returning, but the former has been toned down and the latter has two new mechanics to make entry-level combos easier to learn.
23 fighters have already been confirmed for Dead or Alive 6, including series' protagonist Kasumi and newcomers Diego and NiCO. The game's story picks up after the events of Dead or Alive 5 and sees Kasumi coming out of hiding to respond to a new threat. Despite the seriousness of the story's direction, the franchise's absurd humor will return. One of our favorite examples is an arena that takes place in a prehistoric era and includes dinosaurs that will attack or eat fighters if they get too close.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: February 15, 2019
Devil May Cry 5
In 2019, Devil May Cry returns with its first mainline series game since 2008's Devil May Cry 4. We've only seen bits and pieces of Devil May Cry 5, but each new gameplay trailer reveals more of the high speed combo-based combat and colorful humor we've come to love about the series.
Devil May Cry 5 sees you play as three different characters. Both Dante and Nero return, while the mysterious "V" is a brand-new character for the franchise. In the game, Nero is manning his own demon hunting agency while Dante and V attempt to figure out why demons are attacking certain locations around the world.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: March 8, 2019
The Division 2
The Division didn't release to universal praise, but it had some good ideas and improved through post-launch updates. Its sequel, The Division 2, handles much better and fixes many of its predecessor's problems. Most enemies are no longer bullet sponges for one, and the more varied specializations encourage you to reach the challenging end game and then stick around to complete more objectives and unlock additional loot.
In fact, The Division 2 has been structured in order for players to reach the end game as quickly as possible. When you do, you can unlock some powerful new weapons--including an explosive-tipped crossbow, a 50-caliber sniper rifle, and a grenade launcher. This is when The Division 2 really opens up, and you'll want to team up with other players to tackle the game's most difficult missions and help civilians set up settlements. Although Ubisoft hasn't confirmed the inclusion of either, the developer hasn't ruled out a revamped Dark Zone or a new battle royale mode.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: March 12, 2019
Doom Eternal
2016's Doom reboot pulled the classic franchise into the modern day limelight while maintaining the original games' fast-paced first-person shooter combat, over-the-top violent tone, and welcome variety of weapon types. Doom Eternal takes this same amazing formula and ups the level of mobility that Doom Slayer can achieve by allowing him to wall run and grapple hook onto enemies or objects in the environment.
The modern day landscape has no shortage of first-person shooters, but Doom Eternal has us excited. The original PC game pioneered the FPS genre back in the early 1990s and the rebooted games evoke the same type of enjoyment. Gameplay trailers for Doom Eternal look delightfully violent and bloody, but we're happy to see the series' small moments of humor present too.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, Switch, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Dying Light 2
The mixture of Mirror's Edge's first-person parkour and Dead Island's zombie dismemberment and stamina-based melee combat returns in Dying Light 2. Techland is improving on the already pretty stellar world and story of the original game in this 2019 sequel, and also throwing in a few multiplayer surprises.
The biggest change between Dying Light 2 and its predecessor is how you'll be able to interact with the world and its characters. Although you'll be able to go it alone for a while, eventually you'll have to choose a side in the ever-present struggle between Dying Light 2's factions. Your decisions will shape the city, for better or worse, which hopefully paves the way for repeated playthroughs.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Gears 5
Dropping the "of War" portion of the title entirely, the fifth mainline Gears of War game is the first in the series to have a female main playable protagonist. First appearing in Gears of War 4, Kait Diaz and her strange connection to the Locust is at the center of Gears 5.
Despite the changes, this is still the same Gears of War experience that fans have come to love. Kait can eviscerate enemies in the same bloody fashion as the Gears' protagonists before her. We're happy to see Kait take the spotlight in Gears 5, as her story arc was left fairly open in the final hours of Gears of War 4. Ideally, Gears 5 will reveal the answers to the many questions we still have.
Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Indivisible
Indivisible has plenty going for it. The game features an animated opening done done by the same studio behind Kill la Kill, a soundtrack created by Secret of Mana composer Hiroki Kikuta, and a mix of party-based RPG combat and Metroidvania-inspired platformer exploration.
In Indivisible, you play as Ajna, a rebellious tomboy who sets out on a quest to avenge her destroyed village. Ajna has the power to absorb other individuals into her being, allowing her to use their skills to traverse through obstacles or call upon her allies in combat. The world in Indivisible is very diverse, featuring an assortment of landscapes and a wide variety of people--many of whom have unique animations that are fun to watch.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Jump Force
In 2018, we've seen anime and anime-inspired characters find plenty of success beating each other up in video games like Dragon Ball FighterZ, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, and My Hero One's Justice. Jump Force aims to continue that trend in 2019 by throwing together dozens of characters from different Shonen Jump manga and anime into one game.
Admittedly, 2D fighting games like FighterZ and Cross Tag Battle have found more popularity than arena fighting games like One's Justice, and Jump Force falls into that latter group. However, Jump Force appears to feature slightly more nuanced mechanics than your typical arena fighter, so we're hopeful it delivers a more enjoyable experience than what's been seen in similar games.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, Switch, PC | Release Date: February 12, 2019
Kingdom Hearts III
We've gotten sneak peeks at some of the worlds and characters that Kingdom Hearts III will contain, including Tangled, Toy Story, and Pirates of the Caribbean. We're not sure exactly where this new game will specifically take Sora and friends, but we're just happy to finally get a conclusion to the trilogy that hasn't seen a mainline entry since 2005.
Considering the series has primarily been filled with PlayStation exclusives, we were surprised to see Square Enix announce that Kingdom Hearts III would be coming to Xbox One as well. We're not complaining, though. A bit of advice: if you haven't played a Kingdom Hearts game before, you should go back and play the series before jumping into III. The story told throughout the franchise is good, but it's also pretty convoluted and fairly difficult to understand at times.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4 | Release Date: January 29, 2019
Metro Exodus
The story of survivors making it through a post-nuclear apocalypse by hiding underground in the Russian subway returns in Metro Exodus. This new game sees series protagonist Artyom continue his journey, but this time he'll be leaving Moscow's Metro.
Dangerous new threats, from both mutant creatures and surviving human factions, meet Artyom on the surface. It's going to take quite a bit of ingenuity to survive. But Artyom also gets to experience a world that's finally beginning to show the first signs of recovery, and it makes for quite the beautiful game. We can't wait to play through a game like Metro Exodus on an Xbox One X, which enhances the experience with 4K graphics and HDR.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: February 22, 2019
Ori And The Will Of The Wisps
Ori and the Blind Forest was a critical hit when it launched in 2015, and now developer Moon Studios is making a sequel for 2019. Ori and the Will of the Wisps builds on the first game's ingenious platforming and compelling story, and there's plenty of new weapons to use too.
Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Rage 2
Rage 2 is perhaps the most unlikely sequel to come out of E3 2018, but with id Software bringing Avalanche Studios along for the ride there's plenty of reason to be excited about this 2019 game.
Avalanche has years of experience crafting large and chaotic worlds in its franchises, like Mad Max and Just Cause, with vehicle combat and special effects chief among their notable talents. Id Software is the studio that pioneered first-person shooting and continues to deliver hard-hitting games like 2016's Doom. It could be a match made in heaven, but we won't know until Rage 2 ships.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Resident Evil 2 (2019)
Resident Evil 2 takes the 1998 survival-horror game of the same name and remakes it from the ground up. While it faithfully recreates the game's environment and story beats, it takes liberties with the appearance and gameplay of the original.
We think plenty of these changes are for the better though, as they create an experience that both seasoned Resident Evil fans and franchise newcomers can enjoy. The new graphics are a vast improvement over the original, ensuring that your nostalgic memories of this creepy classic remain intact.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: January 25, 2019
Sea Of Solitude
Sea of Solitude is an upcoming EA Originals game about a lonely girl whose emotions transform her into a monster and her surroundings into a flooded post-apocalyptic world. She's searching for a way to revert the process.Other than that and a launch scheduled for early 2019, there's been little shared about Sea of Solitude.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Between Demon Souls, the Dark Souls trilogy, and Bloodborne, From Software has made quite a name for itself. The developer's knack for creating challenging, stamina-based action-RPGs has spawned an entirely new sub-genre of games: the Souls-like. From Software's legacy welcomes a new game in 2019, and it looks to be the developer's most difficult title yet.
Just as Bloodborne is a vampiric Victorian twist of Dark Souls, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a steampunk feudal Japan rendition of From Software's games. You have access to a whole new set of stealth and acrobatic abilities in Sekiro, including assassinations and free running, but enemies will come at you with attacks and tricks that haven't been seen in previous Soulsborne games too.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: March 22, 2019
Session
Session is a brand-new skateboarding simulation game which was Kickstarted in early 2017. Not much else has been shown about it, but it's at least great to hear that the skateboarding video game genre isn't dead.
For now, the game is scheduled as a console exclusive for Xbox One.
Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Skull & Bones
Xbox One console exclusive Sea of Thieves didn't have the best critical response, but perhaps Ubisoft's upcoming Skull & Bones can deliver a pirate simulation that will satisfy players. Ubisoft has already made a pretty stellar pirate action-RPG before, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, but Skull & Bones will solely focus on naval combat instead of a mixture of land and sea.
Skull & Bones takes place in the Indian Ocean during the golden age of piracy, and sets you on a quest to become a pirate legend. The game will feature both single- and multiplayer options, including a PvPvE mode called The Hunting Grounds.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order
Respawn has three games in the works--an unannounced VR title, a new Titanfall, and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. At least two of those games are coming out in 2019, and Respawn has already confirmed that Jedi Fallen Order is one of the them.
At E3 2018, Respawn CEO Vince Zampella revealed Jedi Fallen Order takes place between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope and will put players in the role of a Jedi apprentice who escaped Order 66. Other than being able to use a lightsaber, Respawn has remained rather silent on what you'll be able to do in Jedi Fallen Order, but we're hoping the game has us meeting Ahsoka Tano or visiting Coruscant 1313.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC (Expected) | Release Date: Holiday Season 2019
Trials Rising
Trials Rising is the next entry in Ubisoft's motorbike platformer. Rising evolves the franchise even further with additional types of challenges and new co-op content, but at its core it's still a game about flipping a motorcycle through an assortment of perilous levels. And honestly, that's really what we want more of anyway.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, Switch, PC | Release Date: February 12, 2019
Tunic
Tunic is an upcoming indie game that stars a cute little fox who wields a sword and shield and explores massive dungeon-like environments to take on larger-than-life bosses. Frankly, it looks a lot like what's seen in The Legend of Zelda franchise.
We liked what we saw for Tunic at both E3 2018 and Gamescom 2018. An Xbox One console-exclusive, Tunic looks amazingly detailed on One X. Hopefully the game is as lengthy as your typical Zelda game, because Tunic's world seems like a fun one to get lost in while exploring.
Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Twin Mirror
Dontnod Entertainment is partnering with Bandai Namco to create Twin Mirror, a new psychological thriller. The game focuses on a character named Sam who wakes up one day to discover a shocking amount of blood on his clothing and no memory as to the cause. As Sam attempts to piece together the events from the night before, he explores both the real world and surreal manifestations of his own psyche.
Twin Mirror looks intriguing so far, but since it's just one big mystery, we'll have to wait until we see more of it to get a grasp of how Sam ultimately fits into the game's harrowing investigation.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Wasteland 3
The gameplay of the original Fallout games lives on in InXile's Wasteland series, which continues in 2019 with Wasteland 3. It's clearly a game that people want, as its crowdfunding campaign was fully funded in just three days and then went on to make over $3.1 million in total.
The new game aims to be the most ambitious Wasteland title to date, introducing co-op support, vehicles, and several other new features. We're excited to get our hands on Wasteland 3 but are sad knowing that it will be Brian Fargo's last hurrah. The head of InXile, Fargo is an industry veteran who worked on the original 1997 Fallout. He plans to retire after Wasteland 3 launches.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Wolfenstein Youngblood
Wolfenstein Youngblood is set in an alternate 1980s Paris and follows the events of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. It stars series protagonist BJ Blazkowicz's twin daughters, who are working together to continue the fight against the Nazis. The game can be played solo or co-op.
Like Doom, Wolfenstein's reboot perfectly blends the tone of the original games with modern-day first-person shooter mechanics and features. It's been fun getting the chance to once again blast through hordes of Nazi soldiers as BJ, but the change in series protagonist--even if it happens to turn out to be a temporary one--is a nice change of pace.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, Switch, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA 2019
Beyond 2019 -- Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is an upcoming third-person action-adventure survival game. Taking place 10 million years ago in Africa, Ancestors puts you in control of one of humanity's earliest prehistoric ape-like ancestors, a Nakalipithecus. Early pre-alpha footage showcases a Nakalipithecus free-running through the trees of a forest and standing up on two legs to gaze out at an African plain. Ancestors will have a documentary-style twist to its gameplay, allowing players to glimpse the earliest stages of human evolution.
Unfortunately, not much else has been announced about Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. However, given that the game is being developed by indie studio Panache Digital Games, we're pretty excited about it already. Panache Digital was co-founded by Patrice Desilets, who now works as the studio's creative director. Desilets is most well-known for being involved in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and being the creative director for the first three mainline Assassin's Creed games, so it there's anyone who knows how to make a history-based adventure game, it's him.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA
Beyond 2019 -- Beyond Good & Evil 2
The first Beyond Good & Evil released in 2003 and we never thought we'd see another one. But we were wrong, and Ubisoft is creating a prequel story in Beyond Good & Evil 2.
A beta for Beyond Good & Evil 2 is coming out in late 2019 so it's a fairly safe bet to say that the full game will be launching in early to mid-2020. This sequel is a bit more of a traditional RPG in comparison to its predecessor, but it looks to have the same levels of explosive action and goofy humor. Oh yeah, and Jade is back too.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA
Beyond 2019 -- Cyberpunk 2077
CD Projekt Red hasn't announced a launch window for Cyberpunk 2077, but given producer Richard Borzymowski's comment that the game is already playable start to finish, we're hopeful that means the first-person shooter RPG is scheduled for a late 2019 or early 2020 release. The developer behind The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt needs no introduction, and we're already desperate to get our hands on a cyberpunk version of CD Projekt Red's work.
Cyberpunk 2077 allows you to explore a futuristic world at your leisure and interact with numerous parts of it. You have complete control over your character, from their physical appearance and morality to their combat abilities and weapons. The game's world and its characters react to the player's actions and choices, so you and a friend might have completely different experiences for the same mission. Upgrading your character with high-tech abilities is one of the cooler parts of the game, allowing you to pull off feats like ricocheting bullets off walls to hit someone behind cover or transforming your arms into blades that let you skitter across surfaces like a spider and pounce on your prey.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA
Beyond 2019 -- The Elder Scrolls VI
Apart from an overhead shot of some mountains and that the game has been in development since the release of Fallout 4, Bethesda has announced nothing for The Elder Scrolls VI. Bethesda producer Todd Howard asks players to be patient as "It's gonna take a while for what we have in mind to come out." We assume that means 2020 at the very earliest, but it's more probable that the game releases even later than that.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC (expected) | Release Date: TBA
Beyond 2019 -- Halo Infinite
Master Chief returns in the sixth mainline Halo game, titled Halo Infinite. Despite the decision to ditch the numerical labeling system, Infinite is a direct sequel to Halo 5: Guardians and continues the story from where the series left off.
Co-developed by 343 Studios, which has been at the helm of the franchise since Halo 4, and SkyBox Labs, the developer responsible for Halo 5: Forge for Windows 10 and Halo 5: Guardians' Xbox One X enhancement, Infinite has been kept under wraps since its E3 2018 reveal. Microsoft has confirmed that the game won't have a battle royale mode though.
Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA
Beyond 2019 -- Psychonauts 2
There's a good chance Psychonauts 2 isn't released in 2019, as Double Fine has said that's the earliest the game will be completed, but we can hope. The original released back in 2005 and fans have been clamoring for a sequel for years.
Double Fine promises the new game will be filled with plenty of surprises and feature better platforming than the original. Unfortunately, we haven't had many major updates on the state of the game since 2017 so it's a little unclear on how close it is to being done.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019
Beyond 2019 -- Starfield
Starfield is so far out from being finished, we're not even positive we'll see it within this console generation. If it does come out for Xbox One and PS4, we see it possibly being a cross-generational title where an HD version of the game is available on whatever consoles Microsoft and Sony have planned next.
As for details on the game, it's being developed by Bethesda and it looks like it takes place in space. That's pretty much it. But Starfield is also the first new IP that Bethesda has had in 25 years, so we're intrigued to see what new types of ideas the developer might have in store.
Platforms: TBA | Release Date: TBA
