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.
Originally developed as Final Fantasy Versus XIII (beginning in 2006!), this new major installment in the "Fabula Nova Crystallis" FF sub-series is an open-world, action-RPG blend that is expected to be much darker and more realistic than past Final Fantasy games. The story, inspired partly by The Last of Us, takes place in a world similar to present-day Earth. Early demos suggest that visuals will be impressive, with a diverse array of locations. Expect a release date to be announced in March alongside a reveal of much more of the game.
