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: A fan-service-filled throwback to the first Sonic the Hedgehog games. True, most of the recent Sonic releases have been (to use a technical term) crap. But this 2D side-scroller aims to recapture the fun and style of the franchise's Sega Genesis origins, and will include new levels plus "remixed" zones from past releases. Mania is described by Sega as a "passion project" developed by longtime Sonic fans. It's not the only Sonic game due in 2017; another platformer, Project Sonic 2017, will come later in the year. That one will be similar in concept to 2011's Sonic Generations.
When: May or June
