FOR

A LOOK AHEAD TO THE MOST EXCITING
GAMES OF THE YEAR

Putting together this look at the year
ahead proved to be a bit more of a
challenge than usual. With two new
consoles on the way, there are no doubt
countless launch titles and crossgen ports still to be announced. But if
anything, that uncertainty just proves
how incredible 2020's lineup is shaping
up to be. Even with unavoidable blind
spots, the 20 games we settled on are
more than enough to excite any gamer.

ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS

BRAVELY DEFAULT II

Animal Crossing has always offered
a relaxing escape to nature, a kind of
slow-paced virtual vacation wherein your
biggest stress is paying off extortionist
raccoon Tom Nook. New Horizons doubles
down on the chill vibes by sending you to a
deserted island to build a new community.
Deeper customization and co-op for up to
eight players make this an exciting sequel
for existing fans, but, as the series' Switch
debut, it's also the perfect starting point for
newcomers.

While 2016 saw the release of Bravely
Second: End Layer, it seems we'll now
be getting a more direct follow-up to
the 3DS's Bravely Default. In Bravely
Default II, the new Heroes of Light set
off in search of four crystals scattered
across the world. From the same team
that brought us the Bravely series and
Octopath Traveler, Bravely Default II will
no doubt engross fans in another blend
of classic RPG themes and modern-era
gameplay.

CYBERPUNK 2077
"Immersion" is often used to describe
games, but the truth is it's rare for a
game to feel like a living, breathing
world. Cyberpunk 2077 might crack the
code. Night City's richly detailed with
the hustle and bustle of a grounded
sci-fi setting, and since many of the
choices you make in the game will have
a significant impact on the game itself,
Cyberpunk 2077 will feel like a constantly
evolving experience.
