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.
A late scratch from 2015, the first Hitman game since 2012's Hitman: Absolution—and, oddly enough, the first to be called by this title—is intended to be more open and less linear than its predecessor, while also featuring much larger maps and eliminating that game's checkpoint system. Even with the release delay, the new Hitman will be almost episodic in nature, with new content (including missions and locations) added on a regular basis over the following year, with some missions available for a very limited time after they appear.
