Final Fantasy XV (2016) PS4/XBO

Final Fantasy XV was originally announced back in 2006 as Final Fantasy Versus XIII and has been renamed and reworked to become a new installment in the main series by Square Enix. The game is more of an action RPG than previous titles in the series, and is notable for featuring a darker and more realistic tone. Final Fantasy XV is based around the Fabula Nova Crystallis in-universe mythology, but the game's plot is not tied to previous entries.

Grim Dawn (Q1 2016)

Grim Dawn is an action RPG from Crate Entertainment set in a Victorian-inspired world where war has broken out and driven humanity almost to extinction. Humans aren't faring well in the world of Cairn, where one side wants to consume them and the other wants to annihilate them. Fortunately, this is where you, the player, come in, making decisions in quests that impact the world and might change its fate.

Horizon Zero Dawn (2016) PS4

Horizon Zero Dawn is an upcoming action role-playing video game in development by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 in 2016.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance (2016) Win/Mac/Lin/PS4/XBO
