See also the first part of a collection of the most anticipated games of 2020 on PC and consoles.

Marvel's Avengers

Release date: May 15

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

The Avengers comic series has long been asking for an expensive game adaptation, comparable in scale to the Marvel movie saga of the same name. And according to the first gameplay clips of Marvel's Avengers from the Crystal Dynamics studio, it looks like just such a game - a real superhero blockbuster.

Briefly summarize the main features of Marvel's Avengers:

• Missions in the story campaign are divided into “hero tasks” and “hot spots”. The first are designed only for a single passage, when the second type of tasks is focused on co-op
• Each of the four main characters is unique and offers different play possibilities. Currently announced Thor, Hulk, Iron Man and Black Widow
• Crafting system, an abundance of cosmetic loot and useful equipment that significantly transform the abilities of heroes

Separately, we note that after the release of Marvel's Avengers, the developers promise to support the game for a long time, releasing, among other things, free DLC with new playable characters.

Wasterland 3

Release date: May 19

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Next year should be a real treat for fans of big-budget RPGs, but even against their background, isometric Wasterland 3 looks more than worthy. Continuing the traditions of the first two parts, we will have another journey into the post-apocalyptic world of America destroyed by nuclear explosions. A world full of humor and self-irony, but cruel and dishonorable, inviting the player to often make decisions based on the principle of lesser evil.

Like Wasterland 2, the triquel aims to convey the feel of old-school CRPGs, but in a modern cover. High variability is expected, a turn-based combat system that takes into account the terrain and a number of significant changes. One of the main ones is that the setting has changed to the snowy state of Colorado, through which you will have to travel in an armored personnel carrier. We also note separately the need to deal with database management and asynchronous multiplayer.

The Last of Us: Part 2

Release date: May 29

Platforms: PS4

In the list of the most anticipated games of 2020, one of the main places rightfully belongs to The Last of Us: Part 2. The first part of The Last of Us at one time became a project that even more blurred the lines between the film industry and video games, and in numerous it becomes clear to the commercials that the sequel will only increase the advantages of the original, not forgetting to supplement the cinematic plot with variable gameplay.

When creating The Last of Us: Part 2, the developers focus on the realism of all components of the game:

• Each of the computer opponents is unique and has its own name
• Advanced AI system, in which enemies will become more aggressive if they see their friend die
• Ellie is left with a trail of scent that can be tracked down by the fighting dogs
• The mechanics of the heart rate of all living things that affect the behavior of characters

Separately, we note the multiplayer in The Last of Us: Part 2 - at the start of the game, only a single adventure awaits us. However, the developers promise to eventually release a separate multiplayer game in the The Last of Us universe.

Dying Light 2

Release date: Spring

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

In addition to the highly anticipated "Cyberpunk" from CD Project, the Polish gaming industry next year will delight us with another large-scale game - Dying Light 2, which should improve all the features of the first part and enter the pantheon of first-class role-playing games. The sun-scorching sandy streets of Arab slums are a thing of the past, in the new game we have to visit a European city torn apart by several factions at once. There are two main groups: the government and the rebels, and as expected, by helping one, we will somehow make our opponents in a rival group.

At the same time, the developers of Dying Light 2 are betting on significant nonlinearity, which is why every decision, following the principles of dominoes, will backfire with the most unexpected consequences, changing the city beyond recognition. Chris Avellone's bold concept and involvement in development makes Dying Light 2 one of the top most anticipated games of 2020 on PC and consoles.

Ghost of Tsushima

Release date: summer

Platforms: PS4

Games in the setting of feudal Japan are far from being a frequent guest in the industry, so we look forward to Ghost of Tsushima. The game will offer to put on samurai clothes and, in the role of the brave Jino Sakai, will go to 1274, in the midst of a bloody war between the Mongols and the Japanese on the territory of the picturesque island of Tsushima.

Details of Ghost of Tsushima, despite the fast release date to a minimum, but briefly summarize the main features of the game:

• An open world with a minimum of pointers on the map and encouraging the player to explore locations
• Stealth and careful planning of tactics before the battle as the basis of the game, because one is not a warrior in the field
• The combat system focuses on lightning-fast skirmishes with rare but deadly blows that hit critical spots on the enemy's body

In addition, Ghost of Tsushima promises to be one of the most beautiful games of recent years, using all the power reserves of the Playstation 4 Pro.

Elden Ring

Release date: 2020

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Games studio From Software always attract close attention of the gaming community. And while the last project of the developers of the hardcore action game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice reaps the harvest of the "best game of 2019" awards, From Software, under the leadership of Hidetaki Miyazaki, is working hard on the new project - Elden Ring. The title has been in development for about three years and is presented by the creators as the largest game From Software, offering a gigantic open world to travel across on a horse.

An interesting fact about Elden Ring - George Martin participated in the creation of the game, who consulted the developers and wrote together with Miyazaki the mythology of the dark world of the game. The release date for Elden Ring remains unknown, but based on numerous insiders' information, we can most likely expect a release in 2020.

Watch Dogs: Legion

Release date: 2020

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Watch Dogs: Legion is another game set in a dark cyber-bank future. This time we will be sent to technologically advanced London, where corporations are closely watching every inhabitant of a futuristic metropolis. The player, as you would expect, will have to take the side of the rebels.

Watch Dogs: Legion is largely an experimental game not only for Ubisoft, but for the entire industry as a whole, offering the following features:

• Form a personal rebel squad by choosing gender, voice, physique, personality and specialization
• Since there is no fixed hero, the plot and cutscenes change depending on which character you use to complete missions
• Each of the characters on your team may die, which, nevertheless, does not end the game

It is through this unusual concept that we bring Watch Dogs: Legion to our top games. For all the criticism of modern Ubisoft, she should be given credit for her rare attempt to bring a bit of experimentation to an expensive AAA game.

Halo Infinite

Release date: 2020

Platforms: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X

Each new game in the Halo series is a high-profile and important event in the gaming industry, especially considering that we have been waiting for a new part of the Master Chief's adventure for 4 long years. And even though Halo Infinite is expected to come out late next year with the launch of the Xbox Series X, and two trailers have already been released for the game, we only know crumbs of information about next year's top shooter.

The main thing that you definitely shouldn't worry about is the importance of the Master Chief for the story campaign. Unlike Part 5, Halo Infinite focuses on the story of the legendary Spartan. Among the innovations are even more spacious levels, new art design and the use of the Slipspace Engine, which the developers themselves describe as "the most advanced technology for creating games." We also note that it will be possible to play Halo Infinite in the very near future - public testing of the game's multiplayer is scheduled for the first half of 2020.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

Release date: 2020

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

In recent years, the vampire setting has returned to the gaming industry, and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has every chance of becoming the best of them. Of course, provided that in terms of the amount of creativity and quality of the script, the new game can at least come close to Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines of 2004.

There are at least a few features of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 that will make you believe that a worthy sequel to the legendary game awaits us:

• Development is led by original Bloodlines' lead writer, Brian Mitsoda. Also brought in previously mentioned Chris Avellone
• Following all the precepts of the Immersive Sim genre and even more ways to complete than in the first part
• 6 unique playable clans, including the Malkivian clan, known for their madness and non-standard outlook on the world around them

In many ways, we have before us one of the most anticipated games of 2020 on PC and consoles, in the success of which we want to believe, even despite the first, far from the most outstanding gameplay videos.

Psychonauts 2

Release date: 2020

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

The original Psychonauts was one of those games that fail miserably at the time of release, but after a few years they begin to grow into a real army of loyal fans. Therefore, it is not surprising that Psychonauts 2 raised a monstrous $ 4 million on Kickstarter and unleashed Tim Schaefer's studios to embody all the crazy ideas in the universe of "psychonauts".

As in the first part, the main character of Psychonauts will be Raz, forced to explore the world, go through platforming sections and solve puzzles using psi-abilities, including telekinesis, pyrokinesis and levitation. The main character, along with Sasha, Mille and other faithful comrades, will have to return to the headquarters of the "Psychonauts" and try to save her from the befuddled deputy former head of the organization, who uses the power of psychonauts to study dark knowledge, including necromancy.
