We have had a very strong year in the gaming industry with the upcoming pc games, that are due out over the next couple of months it is only going to get better. I will only be talking about games that are due to come out in 2020 at the moment, there will be more articles on future games to look forward to. We have more than enough to look forward to over the next 2 months as it is with these titles.
Watch Dogs Legion
The first game that I want to talk about has already been released only a couple of days prior to my writing this. Watch Dogs is an action-adventure game that is in the third-person perspective while traveling around a very large open-world map. It follows a hacktivist group Dedsec based in a darker post-Brexit London who has been framed by another group for numerous bombings throughout the city. The Government hired a private military contractor to restore order and peace in the city along with hunting down Dedsec group members. As you play through the game to clear your group’s name of the bombings you can recruit NPC’s who have different abilities to assist you throughout the story, and you have the ability to get 3 other players together on multiplayer to assist you through the game. Other than being able to operate numerous characters, it is similar to Watch Dogs 2 as you have the ability to hack and control all sorts of electronic devices and vehicles. Following the release of the game, it has some favorable reviews, however, there are some comments saying that some NPC’s that you can recruit can be repetitive along with some missions.
Release date 29th October 2020

Dirt 5
Dirt 5 is the next game in the Dirt series and the 8th to carry the Dirt title. It is focused on off-road racing, for example, it includes rallycross, ice racing, stadium super trucks, and off-roading buggies and driving a variety of rally cars with some classics like the Ford Escort Cosworth, and Lancia Stratos, then go to the other end of the scale driving new sports cars such as the Aston Martin Vantage, and Porsche 911 GT3. You will compete in events all around the world such as Brazil, Italy, and Norway in all different weathers with its dynamic weather system and seasons. Dirt 5 also has a narrative-focused career mode that pits the player against a rival called Bruno Durand in a series of championships, but you would also receive advice from your mentor called Alex or also known as AJ.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
We now want to talk about the next installment into the massive Ubisoft series. After years of speculation, Ubisoft has finally taken the Assassin’s Creed series into the Viking era, you will be playing a male or female character called Eivor, who is a Viking who has arrived on the English shores after fleeing a lack of resources and a war in the native country Norway. You will have to build a home settlement for your clan along with getting involved in the local politics, and carry out raids to keep the resources and supplies up for you and your people.
You will have the usual main story and all the side quests that you have had in previous games, but you have the new mechanics to reflect Viking life. Crew your longship and use it to sail around England, visit a seer in your camp to go on mystical journeys, and upgrade your skill tree to your Viking combat style, dual-wielding axes will only come with practice!

Our Thought?
It hasn’t been the best year for everyone with what has gone on in 2020 but we have had some very good releases and it’s only going to get better over the next couple of months. Personally, I am looking forward to all of these games to be released to try them all out with the build-up they have been getting!

Hi Ben. Great list. To be fair Im looking forward for most of these games, and to tell the truth I already have Cyberpunk. Great potential but it need at least few more patches to be game I was expected. Hopefully Valhalla will be more optimized before releasing. I have high hopes with it as Im big fan of Assassin’s Creed and I was never disappointed with games form this universe.
I’m glad you agree! I have also purchased Cyberpunk I know what you mean though it does have great potential however it does certainly need some adjustments. I have always liked the Assassins Creed franchise and loved the Assassins Creed Odyssey as well.
Thank you
