Tom Clancy’s The Division

Another game that was also featured in last year’s Most Anticipated list, Tom Clancy’s The Division was revealed at E3 2013 with an impressive gameplay demo, and players have been hyped for its release ever since.

Now, the game finally has a release date and we’re only a few months away from jumping head-first into the open world, massively multiplayer online shooter. The Division is an ambitious combination of genres but everything in last year’s second gameplay demo suggests that it all works well.

Tom Clancy’s The Division will release on March 8th for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Gears of War 4

The fifth major installment in its series, Gears of War 4 caused a lot of excitement after it was revealed in January last year. However, Gears 4 has a lot of questions surrounding it, most notably whether The Coalition will be able to carry on the work of Epic Games/People Can Fly.

While some may see a developer switch as a cause for concern, seeing more of Marcus Fenix’s story following on from the wild ride that was Gears of War 3, might just help quiet some of the complaints. 2016 also sees the release of the Gears of War Ultimate Edition for Windows, which allows PC users to experience the story of the first game again with remastered graphics.

Gears of War 4 will release in the Q4 for Xbox One.

The Legend of Zelda

Another game initially scheduled for a 2015 release date, The Legend of Zelda (Working Title) for Wii U has generated plenty of hype since its announcement. The first Zelda game to be developed with HD graphics, the title also features a huge open-world that is said to be larger than any of the previous games, and as big as the Wii U hardware can handle.

The next The Legend of Zelda title aims to allow players to travel wherever they want and complete dungeons in any order they choose, as opposed to the series’ standard linear nature. There are plenty of reasons to look forward to this game, with producer Eiji Aonuma even calling this “the ultimate and most complete Zelda game”.

The Legend of Zelda doesn’t have a confirmed release date yet but it was recently stated to still be coming in 2016, exclusively for the Wii U
