HALO INFINITE

MARVEL'S AVENGERS

NO MORE HEROES III

Halo Infinite, which developer 343 Industries has referred to as a "spiritual reboot,"
has a lot riding on it. It's a launch title for
the new Xbox console (as well as coming
to Xbox One and Windows), it's the first
game to use the new Slipspace engine,
and it's a sequel to one of the most storied franchises in existence. However,
if anyone can shoulder that burden, it's
Master Chief, who's back in the spotlight
for Infinite.

Square Enix looks set to deliver the biggest
superhero game ever made with Marvel's
Avengers. This sweeping adventure will let
you play as many of the iconic superteam
in an original story, with gameplay tailored
to highlight each hero's distinctive abilities:
Iron Man flies and shoots repulsor beams,
Thor chucks his hammer, and so on.
Between single-player, replayable co-op
missions, and a loot system, Avengers
could be as beefy as its heroes.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes
was a fun diversion, but fans of Travis
Touchdown have been waiting for a new
numbered entry in the series for years.
Thanks to the Switch, we finally have a
console that can handle all the wandwaggling required to wield Travis' beam
katana to its fullest potential. This time,
Travis isn't just fighting for himself, but for
the fate of the world. Maybe there are still
heroes after all.

THE LAST OF US PART II
Just as Naughty Dog's groundbreaking
The Last of Us helped close out the
PlayStation 3, its sequel will do the same
for the PS4. The system will certainly be
going out with a bang, as The Last of
Us II looks to be one of the most
ambitious, emotional, and technically
impressive works gaming has ever seen.
But great as it is to have Joel and Ellie
back, their return means another round of
hardships for both them and us.

MINECRAFT DUNGEONS

OUTRIDERS

It took nine years, but Minecraft is finally
getting its first official follow-up from
the game's main developer, Mojang.
Rather than a sequel, however, Minecraft
Dungeons merges everyone's favorite
world-builder together with classic
dungeon crawlers. Up to four players
can band together to explore randomly
generated lairs filled with creatures,
traps, and loot. Minecraft Dungeons looks
perfect for those times when you want less
building and more battling.

A new cooperative shooter from People
Can Fly-the studio behind the ridiculously
profane Bulletstorm-Outriders takes
place in a future when Earth is nearly
uninhabitable, forcing humanity to seek
out a new home on the planet Enoch. The
studio promises more of the imaginative
weaponry it's known for, with a shift to
a darker, more serious story. Gameplay
details remain scarce, but the alien foes
you'll be battling (with up to two friends)
look massive and menacing.
