The Most Exciting new games in 2019!

2019 is going to be a very exciting year! The gaming community are anticipating the releases of amazing games! Here are some games we've been anticipating!

Mortal Kombat 11





The hyper-violent fighter really needs no introduction. Use your favourite from Mortal Kombat's historic roster to brutally execute your enemies: freeze them to death with Subzero, burn them to death with Scorpion, bite off their faces with Baraka, beat them to death with your Oscar with Johnny Cage. Coming off the back of the critically-acclaimed Mortal Kombat X, Fatalities and Brutalities return, alongside the new Fatal Blows and Krushing Blows. Translation: more ways to disembowel people.
Mortal Kombat 11 release date: April 23 2019
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC and Switch

Days Gone





While Sony has a host of exclusives lined up – The Last of Us 2 and Ghost of Tsushima most prominently among them – Days Gone is one of the few with a locked-in launch date. Another apocalypse scenario is on offer here, but one of the zombie rather than nuclear variety. Players control loner biker Deacon St John, trying to survive on his own. While some may be burned out on zombie games, the tech behind the game's enemies – fast-moving creatures known as Freakers, with animals as likely to be infected as humans – is impressive, leading to massive swarms that react to your actions and chase you down at the slightest provocation. On scale alone, it's set to push the PS4 Pro to its limits.




Days Gone release date: April 26 2019
Platforms: PS4

Shenmue 3





For anyone who experienced the original Shenmue duology on Dreamcast, this may feel like a dream – a game that many thought would never see the light of day again is actually about to return. Following a phenomenally successful Kickstarter campaign, director Yu Suzuki's RPG, grounded in magical realism and set across Japan and Hong Kong rather than fantasy worlds, picks up where it left off in 2001 – young martial artist (and occasional fork lift truck driver) Ryo Hazuki continuing the search for his father's killer. The games industry has matured significantly in the last 18 years though, and while the original games were groundbreaking, hopefully Shenmue 3 will have some fresh tricks.
Shenmue 3 release date: August 27
Platforms: PS4 and PC

Gears 5





The Gears of War franchise is one of Microsoft's biggest and most important – perhaps second only to Halo. The next instalment wants to do something more than provide another third-person shooting experience though: it wants to make you care about the story. The next chapter will build on the background of protagonist Kait Diaz, while still delivering on Gears' familiar action gameplay. 2019 could be the year that Gears really explodes too, with the core game joined by Gears Tactics and Gears Pop, as developer The Coalition aims to build it into a larger, more experimental property.
Gears 5 release date: 2019 TBC
Platforms: Xbox One

Skull and Bones





After Assassin's Creed: Black Flag proved there's a modern market for pirate-based shenanigans in games, it was no surprise to see Ubisoft eventually develop the ship-based aspect into its own dedicated property. With both a single-player campaign and multiplayer ship-to-ship battles in disputed waters, this lets players scrap over dominance in the Indian Ocean. While it could just prove to be a more serious take on Rare's excellent Sea of Thieves, there's room on the ocean for both – and some competition between the two could prove to be a rising tide lifting both boats.
Skull and Bones: 2019 TBC
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, and PC





Untitled Goose Game





Is it flashy? No. Does it have even one-tenth the budget of the other major studio releases on this list? Probably not. Does it let you wreak havoc on an unsuspecting idyllic village as a horrible goose? Absolutely. House House's upcoming "slapstick-stealth-sandbox" title seems to share some digital DNA with 2014's Goat Simulatorwhen it comes to creature-based chaos, but given the genre of 'unhinged barnyard nonsense' is still, somehow, a sparsely populated one, this is shaping up to be one of 2019's most original and no doubt hilarious games. Perhaps bizarrely, the developers cite Super Mario 64 as an inspiration, so we can't wait to see how this one shapes up.

In the Valley of Gods





The second game from the studio behind the brilliant Firewatch, In the Valley of Gods has you playing a 1920s explorer and filmmaker who heads to Egypt's tombs in search of a brilliant story to tell. Like Campo Santo's first game, it's a first-person adventure game with a focus on narrative over action and, unsurprisingly, the developers are keeping the details of its story to themselves.
In the Valley of Gods release date: TBC 2019
Platforms: PC
