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 simply titled Doom is meant to serve as a reboot of id Software's 23-year-old FPS series, which has been mostly dormant since 2004's Doom 3. (A planned Doom 4 was scrapped in 2011 and replaced with this project.) Meant to be fast, hard, and completely over-the-top (or "rock 'n' roll" as the developers term in), the new Doom will again emphasize action over story and will feature single player and a variety of multiplayer modes, as well as a new "SnapMap" custom content creator.
