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.
Again developed by Arkane Studios, the first major sequel to the award-winning 2012 game Dishonored picks up the action 15 years later and gives players the option of playing again as Corvo Attano or selecting Princess (now Empress) Emily Kaldwin instead—the missions are the same either way, but you get through them using different paths and skills. The action this time shifts mainly to the coastal city of Karnaca, which offers more of a blend of urban and nature settings.
