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.
The Wii U might be on its way out, but it's not leaving without getting its first brand new Legend of Zelda title. It'll be the first Zelda game to debut in HD, and it will also be the first truly open-ended (i.e., non-linear) Zelda title in recent memory, with a huge open Hyrule that players can explore in any order they please. How huge is it? The entire Twilight Princess map makes up just one small part of the new game. That extra size translates to plenty of side quests to keep you busy. The new Zelda likely won't arrive until the end of the year, but impatient Wii U owners can pick up a new HD remaster of Twilight Princess on March 4th.
