Most Anticipated Video Games of 2017: Sequels, Remakes and Adaptations
No, it's not you. There's a reason why many of the games you'll see below in part one of our 2017 preview (a second part, focusing on new IP, arrives later this week) may seem familiar: you saw them here last year, in our 2016 games preview. The good news? They probably won't get delayed again to 2018. You'll find those holdovers—as well as the most promising recently announced titles—in our gallery below, listed in alphabetical order.
What: Arkane's "re-imagining" of the 2006 first-person shooter Prey, which follows a failed attempt (by original developer Human Head Studios) to develop a sequel. The story (which is completely unconnected to the original game) finds you playing as a human experimental subject aboard (and, at times, just outside) a space station filled with hostile aliens, and it also incorporates some RPG elements. GameSpot has called it a cross between Dishonored and Dead Space.
When: Unknown
