Looking ahead at the next year in gaming
Another year has come and gone, and our favorite industry is pushing ahead. As is tradition, now is the time for the team at New Game Network to look ahead, and name our most anticipated games for 2019. We're hoping this will be an exciting year, with many promising titles on the horizon, and with many more that we don't even know exist yet. As such, below is our alphabetically-arranged lineup of titles that we're collectively most excited about for the next twelve months! Only games with a confirmed 2019 launch window were considered in our voting.
Anthem
Anthem is a co-operative Action-RPG. Join with up to three other players and assemble high-tech, hand-crafted, uniquely powerful exosuits. With every mission, you and your Javelin exosuit grow in power. The Javelin exosuits – and accompanying gear, weapons, and equipment – can be heavily customized and personalized as you rank up and defeat powerful foes. As a live service experience, Anthem will change and grow over time – introducing new stories, challenges, and cataclysmic events.
