Coming up in Gaming – December 2016

, , , , , , , 0

December is very rarely a big month for gamers. After all, most of the biggest releases of the year will have come in the previous few months in the build up to the holiday season. Publishers usually do not want to put their latest game on store shelves knowing that people are far more likely to be buying the biggest titles of the year as gifts for their families and friends. However, there are still a few big hitters coming during December that are aiming to make their way into Christmas stockings over the coming weeks. Big Hitters Without a doubt the biggest release in December of this year is The Last Guardian. This PlayStation4 exclusive is the third game in a series of thematically linked titles from noted developer Fumito Ueda. Much like the highly acclaimed Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, this game is expected to bring together unique gameplay with a breathtaking world. While it has been in development since 2007 and gone through various different iterations

As has become traditional for this time of year, November sees a whole host of new titles coming to consoles and PC. Although many of them are not exactly AAA releases, there are a few big hitters that are coming to store shelves. Big Hitters While Activision’s big rival in the first-person shooter space have gone to the past, in the form of Battlefield 1, they have decided to head to the future with their latest entry in the Call of Duty franchise. Infinite Warfare in an Infinity Ward developed game that releases on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 4, taking players  to the distant future as humanity has established colonies around the solar system to support the now stripped Earth. The multiplayer portion has also seen a change with a new class system known as Combat Rigs, which allow players to tailor their classes to their playstyles. Although Football Manager might not be considered a big franchise by many gamers, it remains one of the most successful

Now that the summer months are out of the way and we are starting to approach the holiday period, developers and publishers are now beginning to push out their big hitting franchises. October is set to see a whole host of AAA titles alongside some smaller games, so there should be plenty to keep you occupied over the coming weeks. Big Hitters The first major release in October comes in the form of Mafia 3. While reviews for the game won’t become available until after its release thanks to a decision by 2K Games not to send out early copies to the press. Releasing on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, it will see players take on the role of Lincoln Clay, the Vietnam veteran who has begun to start a criminal empire. The developer has gone to great lengths to ensure the story and action is as realistic as possible, going so far as to include the various rules and traditions present in real the real mafia organizations.

The summer is now over and that doesn’t just mean that the weather is set to get colder over the coming months but publishers and developers are now beginning to prepare to get some of their biggest releases of the year out of the door. September often sees a gluttony of titles making their way to players across all platforms and it appears that this year will be no exception. Big Hitters This month traditional sees the release of one of the biggest games of the year, FIFA. However, the past few years have also seen the mainstream soccer series see a challenge from Pro Evolution Soccer. 2016 is now different and both PES 2017 and FIFA 17 are expected to release this month, on September 13 and September 27 respectively. Both titles bring a host of improvements and new features, with FIFA moving onto the Frostbite engine and introducing The Journey game mode that tries to immerse the player in everything it is to be a footballer.

Unlike July, which saw only a few major releases, August is chockablock with games that range from sequels to highly acclaimed franchises to brand new interpretations of classic properties. There are even a few titles that have never been seen before and are making their debut. In particular, the PlayStation 4 is set to see a whole host of independent and retail releases this month, though the Xbox One will still be getting some love with multiplatform games. Big Hitters In an industry that is often dominated by the huge annual releases of giant publishers, it is odd that the most anticipated games of this month, and the entire year, is an independent game.  That’s right, No Man’s Sky is set to release in August after a short delay pushed it back a couple of weeks. Available on both PlayStation 4 and PC, this is a procedurally generated space exploration and survival game that has captivated fans since its first showing two years ago. We will finally be able to

March is generally the time when publishers start to release high profile products again after the relative lulls of January and February. This March is no different, although there are few real blockbuster titles coming this year compared to others. Big Games Possibly the standout release in March is Tom Clancy’s The Division, an open world online shooter that is set or rival the likes of Bungie’s Destiny. Developed and published by Ubisoft, it will release on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 8 March and see players battling enemy forces in a devastated Manhattan, with gameplay similar to many other third-person shooters. The highly anticipated title also featured a dynamic weather system that can change the way The Division plays, with large storms hampering visibility and making aiming much more difficult than normal due to the high winds. The second high profile release of the month is a remastered version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The new Wii U version will release on 4 March around

December is never generally a month that sees a great deal of blockbuster titles releasing. The vast majority of the big hitters will have released in the previous three months, with the likes of Star Wars Battlefront, Halo 5, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any games worth your while just before Christmas though, this year is seeing some of the most anticipated games of 2015. Big Releases While Just Cause 1 and 2 gained plenty of praise from critics when they released, the series has failed to make much of a dent in the open-world genre that is dominated by Grand Theft Auto V. Avalanche Studios is looking to change that with Just Cause 3. It will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC from December 1, and sees the action take place several years after its predecessor, giving players the opportunity to battle enemies and explore the huge world in whatever they want. Another series
