50. Little Nightmares 2Tarsier Studios(PC, PS4, XOne, Switch)

If you played Little Nightmares you shouldn’t be surprised to see its sequel on a list of the most anticipated. The original was a fantastic game !, successfully combining puzzles and terror without neglecting a powerful narrative, which made us want to explore its dark nightmare world more and more thoroughly. That’s why Little Nightmares 2 and its promise to be longer and bigger than the first game has us in love. What’s new? New monsters to escape in the company of Six and a new boy who will travel by his side.

49. HumankindAmplitude Studios(PC, Mac)

The authors of Endless Space have built a golden reputation among PC strategy fans, and their new turn-based game couldn’t look better. Humankind was born with the promise of recreating the entire history of humanity in the purest Civilization style, putting us at the controls of up to 60 historical cultures that will fight, trade and spy on each other without rest, turn after turn, until the body endures. With attractive graphics, the new from Amplitude Studios and Sega does not forget multiplayer either, allowing up to eight players to play against each other.

48. Bravely Default IITeam Asano(Switch)

We haven’t known about Bravely Default II for long, but it’s hard not to get excited about this new JRPG from the authors of Octopath Traveler, which promises to improve everything seen in the popular original Nintendo 3DS installments. A new group of heroes and adventurers awaits us in this role-playing video game from Square Enix that already transmits good feelings with its beautiful visuals and its powerful soundtrack, signed by the composer of the first Bravely Default.

47. Dragon Ball Z KakarotCyberconnect2(PC, PS4, XOne)

Appealing to nostalgia and with a clear commitment to offer the maximum possible content, little by little Dragon Ball Z Kakarot has been gaining the favor of fans of the work of Akira Toriyama, whom this Dragon Ball RPG seeks to satisfy by making them live some of the most famous adventures starring Son Goku and company, from the fight against Raditz to the fearsome confrontation against the monster Bu. With original music and tons of characters to control, Bandai Namco’s game promises to make us vibrate with excitement with its battles. Will it succeed?

46. Death LoopArkane Studios(PC, PS4, XOne)

The creators of Dishonored should never lose sight of them. Although very little is known about Death Loop, this action game promises to surprise fans with an innovative combat experience and meticulous level design. The idea is to fight over and over again against rivals on a lawless island called Blackreef. As always with Arkane Studios, the Death Loop aesthetic is also striking.

45. Wasteland 3inXile(PC, PS4, XOne)

Yes, at 3DJuegos we love role playing, you already know that. In addition, inXile is one of our favorite studios of the genre and we are looking forward to that attractive Wasteland 3 that they are preparing. The second installment was not bad at all and it also served to recover a franchise that had long been forgotten. The third episode must build on those pillars, and finally achieve the outstanding game that the franchise deserves.

44. Watch Dogs LegionUbisoft(PC, PS4, XOne)

Take control of any inhabitant of London to cause chaos among the enemy ranks. This is the great promise of a Watch Dogs Legion that has not hesitated to delay its launch to live up to expectations. Ubisoft has already surprised us with some demos that make us expect the best of this sandbox in which freedom of action will be key to solving its missions. The authors of Assassin’s Creed also seem to have taken note of the criticism from the fans, betting on a smaller stage but with greater density and variety of things to do.

43. 12 MinutesLuis Antonio(PC, XOne)

It was one of the sensations of E3 2019 and since then … little more has been said about this surprising narrative adventure that proposes us to live a 12-minute time loop in the skin of a man who has discovered that his wife is pregnant, and it is! also a murderer! Will you be able to avoid being arrested? Will he perhaps find evidence to confirm his dark past? 12 Minutes is developed by a Rockstar and Ubisoft veteran and the truth is that its premise could not be more attractive. It promises to be very exciting!

42. Mount and Blade II: BannerlordTaleworlds Entertainment(PC, XOne, PS4)

It is being made to beg, the wait is eternal !, but just think about the great battles of the original game to arm yourself with patience without losing your illusion along the way. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord once again focuses on action, role and strategy to make us live epic pitched battles between armies typical of the Middle Ages. Its great open world, with climatic changes and great castles to conquer, will give us the freedom of action necessary to lead the troops and rise with victory. Will it finally be in 2020?

41. Overwatch 2Blizzard(PC, XOne, PS4, Switch)

After making millions of players enjoy its exciting competitive battles, Overwatch 2 relies on cooperative and story missions to expand its great science fiction universe with new challenges. The good thing about this Blizzard production is that if you already have the original game in your possession, all the new maps and heroes that appear in the future will be yours without paying a single penny. Now we just have to wait and see how one of the most prominent multiplayer games of recent years improves and expands.

40. Hollow Knight: SilksongTeam Cherry(PC, Switch)

This time Hornet must face waves and waves of enemies in what is the sequel to one of the great indie video games of recent years. Hollow Knight: Silksong will be an event for lovers of metroidvania proposals, and it is that to the always fascinating artistic proposals of Team Cherry we must also add the playable polish of one of the best releases of 2018.

39. Gods and MonstersUbisoft(PC, PS4, XOne, Stadia, Switch)

Ubisoft has had to resist in recent times some accusations of abusing certain veteran franchises that populate its catalog. It is for this reason, and for their eagerness to try new formats, that they venture with the new IPs with this Gods and Monsters. With an aesthetic slightly similar to that of the last Zelda, the title of the French company is not only beautiful from a cosmetic point of view but also holds important promises from the playable.

38. Atomic HeartMundfish(PC, PS4, XOne)

One of the most puzzling and engaging games out there for the coming times is the fascinating Atomic Heart. We are talking about a first-person shooter with adventure elements, and a careful science fiction setting that takes us back to some of the best video games of the genre. The title has already captivated us with some trailers that have not left anyone indifferent and puts us, among other challenges, in front of an authentic army of killer robots from the Soviet Union. Promises, right?

37. Star Wars: Battlefront 3DICE(PC, PS4, XOne)

At DICE they have a challenge right now. After the brilliant Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and, especially, after not leaving too good a taste in the mouth with the latest Battlefront, the Nordic studio must regain the confidence of the fan. For that they will put all the meat on the grill in a video game that they have been developing for years and that, we hope, follows in the wake of the previous installment in terms of content but is very far from it in business model.

36. BiomutantExperiment 101(PC, PS4, XOne)

Despite the fact that it has starred in several heartbreaking delays, Biomutant has become one of the most desired games by RPG lovers. The role-playing genre is going to be very present next year on PC and consoles, and for original, brave and beautiful this is one of the best representatives. A most atypical hero, a combat system that offers many interesting things and, as if that were not enough, also a beautiful and attractive open world to explore. Let it go well!

35. Path of Exile 2Grinding Gear Games(PC)

Everything that made the original Path of Exile great, but improved, with more options, much bigger and more fun! This is Grinding Gear Games’ bet for the sequel to one of the most popular action and role-playing games of recent years. True to the free to play model that they have defended from the beginning, with Path of Exile 2 they do not seek to revolutionize the genre but to improve and expand all the good of the original game, adding new missions, a renewed skill system, more promotion classes and others news that will surely cheer up the loyal followers of this dark universe.

34. Marvel’s AvengersCrystal Dynamics(PC, XOne, PS4)

The presentation of Marvel’s Avengers was not anywhere near what you would expect from a great production like this. It generated too many doubts! How do you play? Is there freedom of action? And the differences between the heroes? With a team like Crystal Dynamics in charge of this great adventure of The Avengers, it is difficult not to expect the best of an action video game that promises to make us vibrate with emotion in the skin of Thor, Iron Man, Hulk or Black Widow. Especially in its cooperative multiplayer aspect! Let’s hope they succeed.

33. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2Hardsuit Labs(PC, XOne, PS4)

His announcement caused more than one to jump for joy, which says a lot in favor of an original video game that once knew how to make fans of good roles fall in love. Set in the dark World of Darkness, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will be faithful to the essence of its predecessor in the sense of giving us great freedom of action so that we can solve each and every one of its missions in the way we prefer. Action, stealth, tricks … you decide which vampire you will be in one of the most anticipated RPGs of recent years.

32. Person 5: RoyalAtlus(PS4)

The improved version of the extraordinary Persona 5 would already be worth it for all the new content that this great JRPG brings with it, but if we add to this that it will arrive translated into Spanish, things improve! There will be new characters such as Kasumi and Maruki that will expand the story of the original, offering new perspectives to the facts already known to the loyal followers of Persona. There are also other new features aimed at improving the gaming experience of an already fantastic RPG.

31. Babylon’s FallPlatinum Games(PC, PS4)

Platinum Games is not stopping. The authors of NieR Automata or the long-awaited Bayonetta – 3 are also responsible for this action adventure, which is pure hack and slash. Combat with sword, magic and gigantic final monsters; this is what awaits you in the dangerous fantasy world brought to life by Babylon’s Fall. As frantic and spectacular as you might expect from a Vanquish game, the fighting promises to be as intense as it is fun in this fierce action game.

30. Nioh 2Team Ninja(PS4)

The veteran Team Ninja knew how to surprise fans of action and role with his defiant Nioh, who some have defined as the best disciple of the Dark Souls saga. What can we expect from its sequel? The authors of Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden remain true to the essence of the original, once again taking on the fearsome demons of Japanese culture, while we transform ourselves into a Yokai to defeat the most powerful rivals in this promising Nioh 2.

29. System Shock 3OtherSide Entertainment(PC)

While the long-awaited remake of the legendary System Shock is brought to life, a team made up of true legends of the video game industry is working on a new action adventure that promises to live up to expectations. With the great Warren Spector at the helm, System Shock 3 seeks to surprise fans with a brutal and bloody adventure in which the fearsome SHODAN will not be missing, that AI that gave us such bad times in the predecessor of the great BioShock. How to resist such a project!

28. Star CitizenCloud Imperium Games(PC)

We’ve been talking about Star Citizen for so long that Chris Roberts’ new work has become a regular on these specials. Thinking of having it finished in 2020 is as utopian as it sounds, however if the deadlines are met we may already have the first test versions of Squadron 42 and, who knows, maybe even its final version within the same year. The mammoth work of Cloud Imperium Games is getting closer and closer to being able to offer a first complete portion of its proposal, and that is the best of news.

27. Psychonauts 2Double Fine(PC, XOne, PS4)

A waste of imagination. This may be the best definition when it comes to Psychonauts 2, a promising action adventure, puzzles and platforms that is being asked, but everything seems to indicate that the wait will be well worth it. The Double Fine team has let their imagination run wild in the design of the crazy worlds that we will visit in this new video game, where Raz will have to use his psychic powers to defeat such hilarious enemies that it will be difficult not to laugh in the process.

26. Dying Light 2Techland(PC, XOne, PS4)

Since its presentation, Dying Light 2 has become one of the most anticipated video games by the 3DJuegos editorial team. Techland’s new work promises to dramatically improve on everything good about the original, empowering parkour to make exploration feel more spectacular than ever. However, the improvements in a video game that also wants to surprise in the narrative with a story written by the great screenwriter Chris Avellone, father among others of the mythical Planescape: Torment, do not end here. Too many good things not to be excited about this project.

25. Animal Crossing: New HorizonsNintendo(Switch)

Almost seven years after enjoying the fantastic Animal Crossing: New Leaf on Nintendo 3DS, the time is coming to build our new home… on a desert island! But rest assured that you will soon discover that all those neighbors whom you adore so much will return to settle near you, to share their joy and make you smile as few games can. Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2 significantly expands the customization options so that in addition to designing your home, you can also shape the appearance of your villager or even create beautiful gardens. All with the charm that defines this fantastic Nintendo series.

24. Ghostwire TokyoTango Gameworks(PC, PS4, XOne)

Little is known about Ghostwire Tokyo but after its announcement trailer last E3 2019, it is difficult to resist the premise of this video game developed by the authors of The Evil Within. This is an action-horror adventure set in a future world in which, they promise, we will have to face the unknown by fighting it, not running from it. Our protagonist, a kind of ninja with special powers, will have at his disposal various weapons and spectral abilities that will give him a chance to defeat the sinister threat that has loomed over the world.

23. Dragon Age 4BioWare(PC, PS4, XOne)

Responsible for some of the best role-playing adventures of all time, it is impossible not to look forward to any of the new BioWare projects, and in those we are with a long-awaited Dragon Age 4 that is reluctant to be officially announced. In December 2018 we had a brief preview of what appeared to be the new RPG from the authors of Mass Effect and since then… nothing. But here we continue, looking forward to the return of this great fantasy saga. Will BioWare meet again with success?

22. StarfieldBethesda(PC, PS4, XOne)

The new role-playing saga from the authors of The Elder Scrolls. What else do you need to know? Without details about this ambitious Bethesda Softworks RPG, which seems to be released before the long-awaited TES6, to date the only thing we know is that it bets on a futuristic theme and promises to become the new generation of single-player video games.

21. Warcraft III: ReforgedBlizzard(PC)

One of Blizzard’s most memorable works comes to life in the form of a remastering. The best news is that Warcraft III: Reforged doesn’t just improve the graphics a bit and that’s it. Those responsible for the Diablo saga have remodeled the troops and buildings to make them look better than ever; The game has also been adapted to 4K, remastering the maps and integrating a new user interface. As if that were not enough, in addition to the original, all the missions of its expansion The Frozen Throne are included, the power of the troops has been rebalanced, and there is also a map editor!

20. DOOM Eternalid Software(PC, XOne, PS4, Switch)

Its delay sat like a jug of cold water but what difference does it make! Here we are looking for the most frantic and spectacular shooter on the market, and if Id Software needed a few more months of work, welcome! DOOM Eternal wants to outperform its predecessor on all fronts, so you can expect heart-stopping graphics, fights as fast as they are brutal, and improved level design to make exploring its maps more fun than ever. There will be new weapons, new demons! And also a multiplayer that promises to leave us with better feelings than DOOM.

19. Forza Motorsport 8Turn 10(Xbox Series X)

If the latest Forza Motorsport continues to dazzle us with its graphics to this day, what won’t its successor on Xbox Series X do! Little is known about this new driving simulator developed by Turn 10 other than that they promise that it will be a “very different but incredible experience”. It is enough for us to dream of the exciting and spectacular races that we will experience in Forza Motorsport 8, now on the new Xbox Series X.

18. Horizon: Zero Dawn 2Guerrilla(PS5)

All bets are on a second part of Aloy’s adventures to kick off the promising PS5, so we will not be less and, although it is not official, we will mention Horizon Zero Dawn 2 among our most desired games. The first installment left us with an extraordinary taste in our mouths, and with its sequel we would have the always pleasant more and better, but with the usual stamp of innovation that Guerrilla introduces to all his works. We want more Aloy and more mechanical beasts!

17. Age of Empires IVRelic(PC)

The few seconds of video that have been seen of Age of Empires IV are enough to look forward to this new real-time strategy video game developed by the parents of the Company of Heroes saga. There are still many unknowns surrounding this Relic and Microsoft game, but it seems that it will allow us to relive great medieval battles in the vein of the legendary Age of Empires 2. Will it cover more historical periods? Will we see battles in modern times? It would be amazing!

16. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade IINinja Theory(PC, Xbox Series X)

If you are one of those who enjoyed Senua’s dramatic adventure in Hellblade, the announcement of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will undoubtedly have made you jump for joy. Although for now no details are known about its story, and how it will be linked to the original video game plot, it is impossible not to expect great things from this new work by Ninja Theory, which has already left us speechless visually. Certainly there was no better way to showcase the technical potential of Xbox Series X.

15. Half-Life: AlyxValve(PC)

It’s not Half Life 3 but the truth is that Half-Life: Alyx looks spectacular. Valve’s new action video game is ready to make history by showing the benefits of virtual reality, and it seems to be on the right track, since there are not a few who have already considered making the leap to this new technology just to enjoy this adventure starring Alyx. With some very exciting combat situations, there is hope again to enjoy the long-awaited Half Life 3 at last, and nothing is more exciting than that.

14. Baldur’s Gate 3Larian Studios(PC, Stadia)

The authors of the Divinity: Original Sin series have earned their reputation by creating formidable role-playing adventures, so there is no one better than them to recover one of the most successful RPG series in video game history. The Forgotten Realms of Dungeons & Dragons are preparing their return with a new adventure that little is known about to date, but it is Baldur’s Gate! And it is Larian Studios! With that it is worth to us to count the days that remain to enjoy this new RPG.

13. Ori and the Will of the WispsMoon Studios(PC, Xbox One)

Ori and the Blind Forest is a metroidvania adventure with a special charm, so beautiful !, so exciting in its action, that knowing that very soon we will be able to enjoy its sequel makes us jump for joy. Ori and the Will of the Wisps has everything you could expect from a sequel: improved graphics, which is to say, with more convoluted levels, with new challenges and a frenetic pace of action that promises to keep us glued to the game. screen.

12. Bayonetta 3Platinum Games(Switch)

This must be the year of Bayonetta 3. It has been a long time since the development of the video game for Nintendo Switch was announced, and since that edition of The Game Awards, nothing more has been said about one of the most anticipated action games. But looking at the background, we can only expect great things from a frenzied hack’n slash that we hope will surprise us with final bosses more fearsome than ever, with new insanities and a combat system that gives us carte blanche to perform impossible stunts while massacring our own. enemies.

11. Resident Evil 3Capcom(PC, XOne, PS4)

The Capcom thing in this generation of consoles has no name. Those of Osaka have managed to recover some of their great sagas in the best possible way, and Resident Evil has a lot to say about it. After the good feelings that the remake of its second chapter left us, Resident Evil 3 is ready to terrify us with new and spectacular challenges in a Raccoon City that we are dying to explore freely.

10. Diablo IVBlizzard(PC, XOne, PS4)

We really wanted to see Diablo IV and its announcement at BlizzCon 2019 did not leave anyone indifferent. With a colossal cinematic, one of those that will be remembered in the future, Blizzard presented the new horrors that we will have to fight in the world of Sanctuary, highlighting the imposing visual section of an action and role video game that has all the necessary ingredients to win the hearts of the loyal fans of this franchise, and many more.

9. Metroid Prime 4Retro Studios(Switch)

Too many years waiting for a video game that we are not even sure that it will be released in 2020, but hope is the last thing to be lost! And if it is the Metroid Prime saga, much less. The project was born in the hands of another studio but now the witness has been taken by Retro Studios, which has not shown any signs of life for a long time. What can we expect from this adventure? Too much mystery surrounding the project, but you can’t lose faith in Metroid Prime 4. It must and will be one of the best Nintendo Switch games. And we hope we can see it in 2020.

8. Ghost of TsushimaSucker Punch(PS4)

The authors of inFamous will put all the meat on the grill with their long-awaited return to the new IP thanks to a Ghost of Tsushima that seems to do many things well. Aesthetically, it is a title with an enviable artistic section and a very promising technical execution, and playably we know that it is a studio capable of doing things very well as they have shown in games of the caliber of the inFamous series or in their memorable episodes of Sly.

7. Final Fantasy VII RemakeSquare Enix(PS4)

One of the most anticipated games of the coming times is, again, a remake. The video game, probably the best-known JRPG of all time, receives here something that goes beyond being a graphic facelift (spectacular, by the way) and also transforms itself into a playable delight in every way. Adapt systems, improve battles, delve into exploration and rewrite many of its contents to evolve towards the new times. It is one of the experiments we most want to see in the future.

6. Beyond Good and Evil 2Ubisoft(Unknown Platforms)

Perhaps it is a bit risky to think that the new Michel Ancel is going to come out this year 2020, however the illusion is also lived. Jade’s adventure left us, too long ago, an extraordinary taste in our mouths and became a true cult game. The second part wants to do things in a big way and grows in a superlative way. With Ubisoft somewhat lost amid so much loot shooter in recent times, it is very much looking forward to seeing them return to somewhat more adventurous formats. There is desire!

5. Halo Infinite343 Industries(PC, XOne, XSeriesX)

The guys from 343 Industries are already fully established at the helm of the Halo series with several deliveries already behind them, but what they have in their hands this time is a real litmus test. The video game in the series that opens the life of Xbox Series X and closes the Xbox One cycle, almost nothing! For this they have a new graphic engine prepared to amaze us with its visual section, and an adventure fully focused on a Master Chief who will regain his expected role.

4. Elden RingFrom Software(Unknown Platforms)

At From Software they have a real churrera of great video games going. The team led by the master Miyazaki has given us this year the wonderful Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the Game of the Year for the 3DJuegos editors and, not happy with it, they threaten to release this majestic new video game in the short-medium term. The always interesting George RR Martin has contributed to the writing of his universe, so it may be somewhat risky to think of it coming out in 2020, but we are so excited that we could not help it.

3. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2Nintendo(Switch)

At Nintendo they know they have a winning formula in hand, and they have already ventured to announce one of what will be their great 2020 video games. previous delivery. Respecting strictly everything related to the aesthetics and the open-world playable bases of its predecessor, this time the adventure of Link and Zelda will also explore other fascinating horizons within the same universe.

2. The Last of Us Part 2Naughty Dog(PS4)

The always interesting Naughty Dog return to The Last of Us to continue a story in which they feel they left a lot to tell. Ellie returns to the charge, this time with a leading role, in a story in which we already know that Joel will be one of our squires. Even more visceral and brutal than the previous video game, the new work from the creators of Uncharted has suffered some other unexpected delay but it already seems to put the final stretch of its development on track to offer us something great.

1. Cyberpunk 2077CD Projekt RED(PC, PS4, XOne)

The little that has been seen of Cyberpunk 2077 has made us remember great classics of the stature of Deus Ex, so it is impossible not to get excited about this new role-playing adventure from the authors of The Witcher saga. Absolute freedom when it comes to solving the challenges posed by a spectacular RPG at all levels, with a level design that invites experimentation; to try a thousand and one crazy things so that each game feels different from the previous one. Action, stealth, dialogue or a good mix of all of it. You decide in this powerful CD Projekt RED video game, which is undoubtedly going to be one of the bombings of 2020.

And the game most awaited by readers is …
