9. Crackdown 3
PC And Xbox One
Release: Spring 2018 (TBA)
It has been 8 years since the last Crackdown game has been released, and the last release left a lot on the table.

An upcoming PS4 exclusive being developed by Insomniac, Spider-Man is the game many are looking at to fill the void for a Superhero driven game. The Batman Arkham series recently finished up and it is time for a new Superhero game to come out and what better way for that void to be filled than by the humor of Peter Parker and all that Spider-Man is known for.

A Ubisoft staple in Far Cry is coming back for its fifth installment, this time the series will move to the fictional depiction of the state of Montana.

5 years ago, at E3 Kingdom Hearts 3 was announced. It is now 2018 and we still don’t have a solid release date yet. The game has been delayed and delayed over and over again for reasons unknown. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that we can dive back into the world of Kingdom Hearts this year.
4. Detroit Become Human
PS4
Release: May 25, 2018
If you loved Heavy Rain or Beyond Two Souls, then you’re in luck with this upcoming IP created by the developer of those two games David Cage. The gameplay demos that have been revealed show that the game is following the same kind of decision-based formula. Expect a gripping game that’ll you’ll want to continue to play.
3. God of War
PS4
Release: April 20, 2018
Many thought the series was finished after the third installment, but everyone was wrong. One of the biggest surprises of last year’s E3 came when an older Kratos was shown on the screen, sending everyone into a frenzy. This God of War looks to emphasize story and character more than the previous three.
2. The Last of Us Part 2
PS4
Release: Late 2018 (Maybe 2019?)
Although it isn’t guaranteed to hit shelves in 2018 we can dream, right? The sequel to the critically–acclaimed PS4 exclusive is expected to be one of the biggest games regardless of when it releases. Knowing who Naughty Dog is as a developer, we can expect nothing less than excellence when we revisit this apocalyptic world.
1. Red Dead Redemption 2
PS4 And Xbox One
Release: Fall 2018
After months of rumors and all of the leaks, it was finally announced we would be returning back to the wild west for Red Dead Redemption 2.

Get ready because this will be epic.
