Mario Strikers: Battle League Football
Platform(s): Nintendo Switch
Release date: June 10, 2022
Mario Strikers returns with a new twist on football / soccer. It’s a five-on-five sport in which players strive to score goals by dribbling and passing to teammates while also utilizing tackles, objects, and special shots. You’ll be able to outfit your team with gear to improve their stats, as well as play multiplayer locally and online.
Redfall
Platform(s): Xbox Series X, PC
Release date: Summer 2022
Redfall is a brand new open-world, co-op shooter by Arkane Austin. The story is set on the island town of Redfall, Massachusetts, which is besieged by vampires who have blocked out the daylight and all access to the island. You’re stuck with a small group of survivors who must band together and employ cutting-edge weaponry to become the ultimate vampire slayers. Think UV blasters and stake guns to get a sense of what I’m talking about.
Saints Row
Platform(s): PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC
Release date: August 23, 2022
Saints Row is making a comeback in the form of a full relaunch of the franchise. You’ll be constructing the Sains from the ground up with a small group of buddies who are just getting started. The freshly established gang will be shaped by your actions, and you’ll be able to leave your imprint on the imaginary city of Santo Ileso by determining what kind of criminal king you want to be. Smuggling of drugs? Arms flailing? It’s entirely up to you. This is the genesis narrative of the Saints, and you get to tell it how you want.
Forspoken
Platform(s): PS5, PC
Release date: October 11, 2022
Some of the developers who worked on Final Fantasy 15 are part of the Luminous Productions team. Forspoken is the studio’s first adventure, and it tells the narrative of Frey, a young lady from New York who finds herself in the inhospitable planet of Athia. Forspoken features magic, parkour, and a variety of otherworldly animals, as well as a number of well-known authors such as Gary Whitta, Alison Rhymer, Todd Stashwich, and Amy Hennig.
Gotham Knights
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC
Release date: October 25, 2022
WB Games Montreal is developing a new Batman game, but there’s a catch: Batman has been dead. The Gotham Knights are stepping in to protect the “most dynamic and interactive Gotham City yet,” according to the studio, with distinct abilities and skill trees accessible for each of the four Knights – Red Hood, Nightwing, Robin, and Batgirl. With an open-world action-adventure gameplay style, it’s a drop-in, drop-out co-op affair. In Batman’s absence, expect a slew of DC villains to try to seize control of Gotham, meaning the Gotham Knights will have their hands full. You’ll have lots of tricks up your batsleeves, though, with combat looking extremely Batman: Arkham-esque.
Starfield
Platform(s): Xbox Series X, PC
Release date: November 11, 2022
Starfield, Bethesda’s first new IP in 25 years, is so shrouded in mystery and profundity right now that we’re not sure if it’ll even be released on this generation of console hardware. What we do know is that it’s an open world space RPG that Bethesda has been working on for years. Sorry, but that’s all there is to it for now; at the very least, the studio was gracious enough to acknowledge its existence after so many industry murmurs. Given Bethesda’s track record, Starfield is one of the most promising games of the future, and I can’t wait to play it, even though it won’t be available until next-gen consoles are released.
