#8 Homefront: The Revolution:

Developer: Deep Silver, Crytek UK, Dambuster Studio

Publisher: Deep Silver

First installment of Homefront series was a tremendous success.  The next installment won’t be any different. Looking at the trailer, it’s clear a lot of graphical changes have been done in the game. Crytec’s technology changed the real-time lighting system to an extended dynamic system, and included procedural weather system. This will simply give authenticity to the realistic graphics.

#4 The Division:

Developer: Ubisoft massive

                     Ubisoft Reflections

                     Ubisoft Red Storm

Publisher: Ubisoft

Ubisoft plans on introducing a new franchise to the gamers. The Division is a third person shooter game of the Tom Clancy brand. The first looks at this game look fabulous. The combat gameplay impressed me the most. Certainly it’s going to be one of the best shooter games of 2015.

Release Date: TBA 2015 ǀ ESRB M

#1 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Developer: CD Project Red

Publisher: cdp.pl

                    Bandai Namco Games

                    1C Company

                    WB Games

                    Megarom Interactive

The Witcher 3 will bring a large vibrant environment for you to explore. It’s the largest of any modern role-playing game. This world is such large that you will need a horse or a boat to travel to some locations. Fast travel can also be used. The Witcher 3 signs are redefined making them more effective and dangerous. Combat is made fast to solve slowness of combat in Witcher 2. In my view, this game will be a masterpiece and might become the game of the year.

Release Date: May 19, 2015 ǀ ESRB M

# 10 Batman: Arkham Knight

Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, two of the best action-adventure games of the last generation, gained developer Rocksteady a reputation as one of the best companies working in the games industry today. Arkham Origins, not developed by Rocksteady, was a sore let down for most fans, because while it was almost the same, it was without the attention to detail. There was no well written story, and without the immersive, thriving world, it felt like a hollow and unsatisfying experience. However, June 2015 marks the return of Rocksteady to the series. Their return promises a massive open Gotham to explore, the return of the Scarecrow, a new original villain the Arkham Knight and a fully controllable Bat-Mobile. Taking Batman into the next generation, under Rocksteady’s development, expect to be The Bat.

Release Date: June 2 | Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC ERSB: M

# 9 Rise of the Tomb Raider

Rise of the Tomb Raider is the sequel to the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot, a game which put a new spin on the series, instead of the light hearted, cartoonish action from the original games. The reboot put the focus on survival, with open sprawling locations filled with wildlife and enemies and the supernatural hunting Lara Croft. Following her journey from researcher to survivalist, Tomb Raider conveyed a more human, relatable and interesting Lara Croft and it will be interesting to see what a more hardened Lara will be like to play as.

Release Date: Holiday 2015 | Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox 360 ERSB: M

# 8 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Witcher games take high fantasy and brutal combat and mix them into a fun and addicting open-world RPG. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt takes those elements and expands on them. The third game in the series will feature huge beasts Garalt of Rivia and the protagonist can hunt across a world 30 times larger than previous entries in the series. For those who haven’t played the first two games, that’s a huge amount of land. In fact, it might be one of the biggest open worlds ever created for a RPG. It should be noted that the release for this game has been pushed back three months.

Release Date: May 19 | Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC ERSB: M

# 7 Dying Light

What began life as a Dead Island sequel instead transformed into Dying Light – and sure, while it's still a first-person zombie-slaying affair, there's enough here to make me think that it'll be more lively than the series that sort-of birthed it. Dying Light is another undead survival game, but the big hook here is a day-night cycle that affects how the zombies act and attack (i.e. they're totally crazy when the sun sets). Use your parkour skills to stay clear of them!

Release Date: January 27 | Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC ERSB: M

# 6 Mortal Kombat X

Mortal Kombat is another long-running franchise that had lost a step, but 2011's reboot really brought the fighting series back to life thanks to overhauled action and a seriously solid story mode. With Mortal Kombat X, NetherRealm Studios returns to the series once more. They returnthi s time with each character offering three distinct fighting styles to choose from, plus environmental interactions and buckets and buckets of gore.

Release Date: April 14 | Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3, Xbox 360 ERSB: M

# 5 Tom Clancy’s: The Division

Even with the author himself deceased, the Tom Clancy's gaming brand continues to explore new avenues – and The Division could well be its most exciting incarnation to date. Set in New York City after a pandemic sends the U.S. into chaos, it follows a team of sleeper agents attempting to restore order in the destroyed setting. The Division merges solo campaign and massively multiplayer online action for what should be a powerful concoction.

Release Date: TBD 2015 | Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC ERSB: M

# 4 Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes proved an underwhelming start to the next big MGS rollout – a very expensive extended demo, if you will – but what I’ve seen of the full game looks downright jaw dropping. No surprise, considering the seminal stealth-action series' pedigree, but still, the footage of free-roaming exploration and combat, along with wild new tactics and typically peculiar storytelling, has me thrilled for its debut.

Release Date: TBD 2015 | Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3, Xbox 360 ERSB: M

# 3 Final Fantasy XV

Once the default example of an amazing role-playing experience, Final Fantasy has stumbled into recent years with the sleepy XIII, and the initially botched MMO entry that was XIV. I don't fully understand the storyline behind Final Fantasy XV quite yet, but I’m so relieved to see that it just looks fun. A group of powered-up chaps on a monster-killing road trip sounds miles more exciting than what this series has pumped out otherwise in the past several years.

Release Date: TBD 2015 | Platforms: PS4, Xbox One ERSB: TBD

# 2 Halo 5: Guardians 

Microsoft has Halo: The Master Chief Collection to tide over series fans with HD updates to the existing core entries, but next year is when the first-person sensation makes its true new-gen leap. Few details have been confirmed as of yet, but 343 Industries says Halo 5 will run on a brand new engine at 60fps and offer dedicated servers, plus Collection buyers can get in on the multiplayer beta set to start the 29^th of December and running until the 19^th of January, 2015.

Release Date: Q4 2015 | Platforms: Xbox One ERSB: M

# 1 Star Wars Battlefront

LucasArts tried and failed to revive its popular online combat series on last-gen consoles, but under EA, Star Wars Battlefront is all set to return late next year. And who better to reboot the franchise but Battlefield creator, DICE? We can't wait to see the many iconic locales of the film franchise brought to life in the Rebels vs. Empire shootouts on new-gen hardware, and considering the release timing, it's sure to be linked to Episode VII as well.
