Upcoming PC Game Releases in 2021

2017’s EVERSPACE was a massive hit with over 500,000 players on Steam. The space-shooter game combined fast-paced combat with roguelike elements to make one cool game.

Dog-fighting games have seen a recent resurgence thanks to games such as STAR WARS: Squadrons, and EVERSPACE 2 promises players the ability not just to fly around a beautifully crafted universe, but to uncover secrets and mysteries in a campaign where high risks mean high rewards.

These rewards will also give special gear to take your piloting to the next level, as you customize your private collection of ships ready for the next objective.

Agent 47 is gunning for Providence in HITMAN 3. The finale of the ‘World of Assassination’, which started in 2016, has spanned three titles continues the story of our favorite hitman, and sees 47 travel to Dubai, China, and the English countryside, amongst other locations.

Throughout the game, you will be escaping from creepy villains in dark environments full of suspense. But this time around, the platforming isn’t the only thing you’ll have to contend with - thanks to conveniently placed weapons-making combat a big part of the gameplay. However, this is methodical and timing-based, meaning you’ll have to make sure every hit counts!

It’s not all shooting enemies though. You’ll have to traverse the land in a challenge to your free-running abilities as you race against time to hunt down the targets, whilst avoid being killed by the assassin chasing you.

The popular LEGO games have taken on some massive franchises, including Harry Potter, MARVEL, and, of course, STAR WARS. Each game brings a unique take of slapstick comedy, gags, and charm to a well-known title that both adults and children alike love to play.

The Skywalker Saga is a revisit of the first seven Star Wars films for the LEGO series, but remade from the ground up! Whilst the classic adaption of the first six films in two sets were hugely popular in the early 00s, The Skywalker Saga is bringing real voice acting, new mechanics, and more humor in a brand-new take on these films. Whilst also tackling the sequel series in its entirety for the first time!

Unlike the previous games, the levels do not have to be completed in linear order with the hub an open-world that can lead to random encounters based on the current period that you are playing in.

It’s been four years since we had a continuation of the story, but since then CAPCOM has released two remasters of the series, including the ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rated Resident Evil 2. 

Village will be using the same engine created for 7 and then adapted in the remasters, so expect more gripping survival horror in glorious 4K.
