Most Anticipated Video Games of 2016, Part 1: Sequels, Remakes and Adaptations
Many of those AAA titles you were expecting in 2015? They're coming in 2016—at least, as of now. The year ahead will see a conclusion to Nathan Drake's Uncharted saga, the beginning of a new chapter in the Mass Effect series, the arrival of Link and Zelda in HD on the Wii U, a new Dark Souls game, and much more. Sure, there are plenty of intriguing brand-new properties arriving this year, too—and we'll preview those a bit later this week. For now, take a look at this year's notable returning videogame series.
Two years after Microsoft acquired the rights to the Gears of War third-person shooter series from Epic Games (and five years after the release of Gears of War 3), a new installment is heading exclusively to the Xbox One. Developed by Microsoft's new-ish Vancouver studio The Coalition, GoW4 is intended to return the series to its gritty and tension-filled roots, with a more intimate, personal, and morally ambiguous story. A beta should be ready to play this spring.
