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.
While EA is going back a century for its latest Battlefield, Activision and developer Infinity Ward (who most recently gave us Call of Duty: Ghosts) are heading back to the future for this year's Call of Duty installment. Infinite Warfare depicts a battle to control the solar system in the distant future, taking CoD into outer space for the first time in series history. Aiming for gritty, authentic gameplay (well, as authentic as a game based in the future can be), IW will feature ground-, air-, and space-based combat, with a story-based campaign (in which Game of Thrones' Kit Harington voices your main enemy) as well as various multiplayer modes (though co-op will be limited to the game's new take on Zombies mode). Deluxe editions of the game will also featured a newly remastered version of the classic Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (which will not be sold separately).
