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.
Yet another planned 2015 release that was delayed to 2016, XCOM 2 is a follow-up to Firaxis Games' 2012 series reboot XCOM: Enemy Unknown. The action picks up 20 years later in a world in which humanity has lost its war against the aliens. The new game will feature procedurally-generated levels (originally planned for Enemy Unknown but scrapped) and the increased complexity in development that requires means the game will be a PC exclusive for the foreseeable future. Other changes include a new looting system and increased destructibility of environments.
