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.
Six years after Mafia II, a sequel is heading to the latest consoles (and PC), courtesy of 2K's brand new California development studio Hangar 13. The third game is set in New Orleans in 1968, where a black Vietnam veteran finds a home in organized crime and begins a quest for revenge after his colleagues are slaughtered by a rival gang. The developers have suggested that the new game will resolve some narrative loose ends from its predecessor while also addressing issues of racism and prejudice in the late 1960s.
