Fall Games Preview: 20 Most-Anticipated Videogames
Below, we profile the most noteworthy videogames scheduled for release between now and the end of the year. Games without official release dates (like this week's new Early Access title Divinity: Original Sin 2) are omitted, since they may not arrive until 2017.
The 5th main installment in EA's first-person shooter series (and 14th overall) gets its seemingly inaccurate title from its period setting: World War I. And for once, EA's fall shooter may be more eagerly anticipated by the gaming community than Activision's yearly Call of Duty entry. The new game features horses, biplanes, tanks, mustard gas, trench battles, blimps, and other period-appropriate equipment, with combat unfolding in multiple locations across Europe and the Middle East with dynamic weather and multiplayer battles featuring up to 64 players. The single-player campaign, meanwhile, is designed to encourage more player choices than past games, with more of an open environment.
