Part I: Announced and Dated Titles
----------
Octodad: Dadliest Catch - April 22
The absurd premise of Octodad puts players in the role of a married Octopus just looking to fit in with human society.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - April 29
Beenox’s latest movie tie-in pits Peter Parker against a host of new foes.
Daylight - April 29
This terrifying PS4 (and PC) game from Zombie Studios promises to be a thrilling experience. It will also feature integration with Twitch that will give chat participants the ability to influence the game with a variety of effects.
Child of Light - April 30
Ubisoft’s Ubi Art Framework is a flexible engine that has, so far, only given birth to the most recent Rayman titles. Child of Light will take the toolset in another direction with RPG gameplay and a watercolor aesthetic.
MLB 14 The Show - May 6
The new-gen version of Sony’s popular baseball simulation needed a bit more time to bake, but it’s looking to be worth it. Be sure to check out our review of the PS3 version.
Bound by Flame - May 9
Focus Home Interactive has promised that Bound by Flame won’t be easy. The RPG might be looking to capitalize on the Dark Souls phenomenon, but this game from Spider Studios doesn’t look like a clone.
Transistor - May 20
Supergiant stole our hearts with Bastion, and with the same team, narrator, and composer on board, Transistor might just do the same. The gameplay is one part action, and one part Fallout 3-style tactics.
Wolfenstein: The New Order - May 20
Machine Games’ take on the classic shooter franchise contains a number of series trademark elements (overcharging health, secret rooms, hidden Nazi gold). Our previews indicate a stronger focus on character and plot, not to mention a cool alternate history setting.
Watch Dogs - May 27
Ubisoft’s delayed open world hacking adventure will finally be released in late May. Has it benefitted from the extra time? We’ll know soon.
Murdered: Soul Suspect - June 3
Airtight Games’ supernatural murder mystery is a more linear affair than what contemporary gamers are used to. However, lots of side content and a compelling story could make this a winner.
EA Sports UFC - June 17
EA’s first MMA title since acquiring the license from THQ in 2012 will be out soon. The publisher has announced that Bruce Lee will be included as a pre-order bonus.
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark - June 24
Two different Transformers universes collide as the movie versions of the Autobots and Decepticons encounter their Cybertron series versions. Is this the successor to Fall of Cybertron we’ve been waiting for?
Valliant Hearts - June 25
Second small game title from Ubisoft, a puzzle platformer featuring 5 interlocking stories set in WWI.
Sniper Elite 3 - July 1
Celebrate Independence Day by sneaking through Africa and putting the hurt on some Nazis. The series’ famous X-ray kill cam is back and as brutal as ever.
Diablo III Ultimate Evil Edition - Undated
The PS4 version of Diablo III will include the Reaper of Souls expansion and new social features not currently found in the PC original. If you’ve been playing on PS3, you’ll also be able to port your character over and keep playing.
The Evil Within - August 26
When we previewed The Evil Within at PAX East, things were looking a little rocky. This is Shinji Mikami’s return to survival horror, and we want it to be great.
Destiny - September 9
One of this year’s most anticipated games, Bungie is promising to revolutionize the way we look at shooters. With deep social integration and an open world, we’re looking forward to getting our hands on this when it’s done.
Dragon Age Inquisition - Oct 7
The third Dragon Age title has looked stunning in recent screenshots. BioWare stumbled a bit with the second entry, but fans have high hopes for the first new-gen installment in the series.
Driveclub - Oct 7
After missing its original release alongside the PlayStation 4, Evolution has been working to improve the game.
Alien: Isolation - October 7
The last Alien game wasn’t terribly good. OK. It was downright bad. However, Creative Assembly is taking the franchise back to its roots. One, super powerful, terrifying alien will stalk you throughout the entire game.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - October 7
Shadow of Mordor’s most compelling feature is the “nemesis” system. Major enemies will have memories of their past encounters with Talion (and bear the scars of those meetings). The hero also controls wraith abilities, giving him an edge in combat.
Batman: Arkham Knight - October 14
Rocksteady is donning cape and cowl for one last go at the Arkham series. This final title in the series will be on PC and new-gen hardware only, so if you want to see who is under the Arkham Knight’s mask (no, the title doesn’t refer to Batman), you’ll have to upgrade.
Project Cars - November TBD
From Slightly Mad studios, Project Cars is a good-looking driving game that will eventually include support for VR (Morpheus).
