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: The crowdfunded sequel to the Dreamcast action-RPG games Shenmue and Shenmue II, both groundbreaking but expensive commercial failures that went on to gain a cult following. Shenmue III's 2015 Kickstarter campaign raised over $2 million in its first day (and a record $6.3 million total), and the result will be an end to a decade-plus of development hell with a new game from original series creator Yu Suzuki sometime late this year (if all goes well).
