FROM THE EDITORS

2020
VISION

w

elcome to the first Walmart
Gamecenter of 2020. Even
typing out that year somehow
feels futuristic. When we were growing up,
it was a safe bet that any given sci-fi movie
or video game would be set in the 2020s.
Now we're living in that tomorrow, though
there's admittedly a lot less neon and a lot
fewer flying cars than promised.
Of course,
starting a new
year-and, in this
case, a whole new
decade-always
offers a great opportunity to reflect
on the past. In
2019 we saw the
launch of memorable titles like Control,
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Death
Stranding, to name just a few. Throughout
the decade, we played such classics as
Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2,
BioShock Infinite, Dark Souls, The Elder
Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Last of Us-and the
list definitely goes on from there. Excitingly, each of the last four games we mentioned has a sequel or spiritual successor
on the way, so the new decade is already
off to a promising start.
This year alone is poised to bring major
developments to the gaming world. In this
issue's news section you can read more

about Microsoft's next-generation console,
the Xbox Series X, as well as the first
officially announced game for Sony's PlayStation 5. Both those next-gen consoles
are scheduled to arrive by the end of this
year, meaning we're liable to witness a sea
change in the scope and technology of the
biggest releases.
We've also got a look ahead to some
of 2020's highly anticipated games. Our
cover story this month delves into the
furry chaos of Biomutant, an open-world
action game set in a world full of mutated
animals. Why video games have taken
so long to give rodents swords, mechs,
wingsuits, and jetpacks, we can't rightly
say, but better late than never.
Our other previews in this issue
showcase the variety the coming year has
in store. Dying Light 2 drops you into a
zombie-infested city where your choices
can impact your surroundings in big and
unexpected ways. Nioh 2 takes you to
medieval Japan for
mystical swordplay
in the vein of Dark
Souls, while Trials of
Mana returns to an
action role-playing
classic. Last but not
least, LEGO Star Wars:
The Skywalker Saga
brings you to a galaxy far, far away for an
adventure that spans generations.
Of course, those titles are just the tip of
the iceberg, so we've also got a special
feature running down 20 more games
we can't wait to play in 2020. The next
12 months are already looking absolutely
stacked-and there are no doubt plenty of
surprises headed our way, too.
Be sure to keep reading Walmart Gamecenter, the magazine that keeps you at the
center of all things gaming.

Starting a new year-
and, in this case, a whole
new decade-always
offers a great opportunity
to reflect on the past.
