2021 Games We’re Looking Forward TO

It’s that time of year again when you’re making resolutions, goals and plans for the months ahead – and it wouldn’t be complete without a list of the top video games that you’re eagerly awaiting to sink your teeth into! So here’s our curated selection of which games you’ll be frantically waiting to install on your various platforms in 2021.

Bravely Default 2 (Switch)
The series which takes a refreshing spin on the traditional RPG is thankfully returning to wow us with its intricate storytelling, marvellous world building and stunning soundtrack. The demo has already got us excited, with its idyllic introduction to strange lands and an intriguing set of characters, and we can’t wait to get return when the full game is released this year.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 (Switch)
The follow up to arguably one of the best ever console launch titles, Breath of the Wild 2 has much to live up to, but we’re hopeful it’ll astound us just like original game did back in 2017. It appears the game will re-use the original lands of Hyrule, but with addition of many areas, stories and game mechanics. The trailers eeleaes so far suggest a darker tone than the original, with nods to 2006’s Twilight Princess.

Bayonetta 3 (Switch)
Developer PlatinumGames are on a bit of winning streak of late, with major hits like Nier:Automata and Astral Chain under their belt, so the third entry in the Bayonetta series is definitely going to be one the slash ‘em up to beat in 2021. With more cheesy supernatural battles than you can shake a high heeled shoe at, Bayonetta’s return is bound to be unforgettable (TBC 2020)

Hollow Knight: Silksong (PC/Switch)
Originally intended as a smallish add-on to the original platforming classic Hollow Knight, this game is now set yo be a full-blown sequel. With its unique art style returning, this entry will take Hornet on an adventure you’ll be dying to get your claws into.

Far Cry 6 (PS4/5; Xbox One/X; PC)
The vast open world shooter returns for the sixth time with the drama and acting ramped up with the inclusion of Giancarlo Esposito as the menacing dictator of the Caribbean island that’ll be your playground for countless hours.

God of War: Ragnarok (PS5)
With the triumphant return of the self titled God of War on the PS4 back in 2018, the new found narrative and storytelling focus was a welcome surprise and that game’s framework is likely to set the tone for this PS5 exclusive.

Halo Infinite – (Xbox Series X; PC)
Despite being lauded as the must-have new Xbox launch title, the fact the long awaited sixth main entry in the Master Chief’s story is having a bit more development time is nothing to complain about, especially considering the recent issues with Cyberpunk 2017.

Horizon Forbidden West (PS5)
It’s incredible to think that the groundbreaking first game in the series, Horizon Zero Dawn, was only released in 2017, and we’re lucky enlightened to have a sequel in 2021 that will make as much use of the PS5 as the original did on the PS4. With its gloriously beautiful open world, memorable characters and pitch perfect combat, this is a sequel well worth getting excited about.

Resident Evil Village (PS5; Xbox Series X; PC)
The first person reboot which was Resident Evil 7: Biohazard scared the bejesus out of us back in, especially the VR version, so we’re eagerly awaiting to have the hairs stand up on the back of necks in Capcom’s follow up, which takes you into a creepy village setting, recalling the classic Resident Evil 4. Let’s hope that the famous chainsaw scene returns in some form of another!

Elden Ring: (PS4/Xbox; PC)
This much hyped project combines the do or die combat of the Dark Souls series with the narrative stylings of a certain George R R Martin, which by our estimation, makes it the must-have action-RPG for 2021. Fingers crossed it lives up to the hype!
