Whether you\u2019re looking for the next game to sink your teeth into or just want to know what future titles are around the corner, our list of the most anticipated Xbox Series X games has you covered. From psychological horror games like Medium to the lavish open world of Fable, there\u2019s something for everyone to enjoy. It\u2019s certainly going to be an exciting year for Xbox fans and it looks like there will be no shortage of new titles, so here are the 9 we\u2019re most excited about, The Medium Release date: 28 January, 2021 The Medium will be launching on Xbox Series X\/S and PC later this month and it certainly looks like a terrifying trip. Bloober Team\u2019s psychological game sees players take on the role of Marianne, a medium who has been tasked with uncovering the disturbing mysteries that lurk within an abandoned communist resort. This quest for the truth will be far from easy as ghostly spirits haunt the resort, forcing players to navigate both the real and spirit world for answers. Marianne\u2019s psychic abilities enable players to solve mind-bending puzzles, fight off sinister spirits, and explore the resort\u2019s dual-reality. This game is certainly not for the faint of heart. Halo Infinite Release date: 2021 While Halo Infinite made headlines for all the wrong reasons, this title is still one of the most hyped Xbox exclusives. Players will take on the role of the mighty Master Chief, a war forged soldier who must confront his most ruthless foe yet. While the game\u2019s early footage didn\u2019t exactly look befitting of next-gen hardware, the gameplay does seem incredibly satisfying. While series veterans will be pleased to see the same arcadey gunplay, iconic enemies, and fan-favorite weaponry on offer, it\u2019s the general scale of the game\u2019s world that has us most excited. The game\u2019s alien planets look more open and than ever before, allowing players to freely jump into their trusty Warthog and tear their way through hordes of enemies. Chief\u2019s even has new abilities, one of them being a new grappling hook that enables him to latch onto his foes and traverse the terrain around him. With a shiny new campaign and multiplayer experience to boot, Infinite could be the next sci-fi shooter Halo fans are looking for. Resident Evil Village Release date: 2021 Capcom\u2019s iconic survival horror series continues with the release of Resident Evil Village. The game takes place three years after the events of Resident Evil 7, showing a happy Ethan Winters settling into his new life with his wife Mia. However, Ethan\u2019s world is thrown into disarray once again when former S.T.A.R.S. member, Chris Redfield enters the picture.

We expect to see even more scares and gut-wrenching moments this survival horror game is known for when it\u2019s eventually released later this year. Bright Memory Infinite Release date: 2021 Bright Memory started life out as an Early Access game on Steam. The original only consisted of one episode and spanned only a couple of hours. However, this didn\u2019t stop it from garnering a lot of attention. This was down to its ambitious combination of FPS shooting, hack and slash combat, and game-changing abilities. Since then, Bright Memory has left Eary Access and will now see a full release when Bright Memory: Infinite launches. The game takes place in 2036 and sees players take control of Shelia, a special agent who has been tasked with investigating a strange phenomenon. You\u2019ll slice and dice your way through military personnel, gun down ancient beasts, and run and jump your way photorealistic environments. Fans of the Devil May Cry and Bayonetta series will definitely want to add this to your watchlist. Far Cry 6 Release date: 2021 Ubisoft\u2019s latest entry in the ever-popular Far Cry franchise will take players to the tropical island of Yara, a place ruled by fear under the tyrannical ruler Ant\u00f3n Castillo and his son Diego. Ant\u00f3n\u2019s vision of paradise is one fraught with violence and bloodshed. He is a man known for his ruthlessness, stopping at nothing to ensure Yara\u2019s people bend to his will. However, Dani Rojas, a guerrilla fighter aims to lead a resistance against the island\u2019s cruel leader. It\u2019s here where your quest for Yara\u2019s freedom begins. Just like previous Far Cry titles, players can recruit fellow islanders, build up a deadly arsenal of weapons, acquire vehicles, and complete numerous side quests. Dying Light 2 Release date: 2021 Dying Light 2 takes place 15 years after the first game. The world has still yet to overcome the deadly zombie apocalypse that has ravaged civilization. Fortunately, Aiden Caldwell, an infected survivor aims to change that. His exceptional strength and incredible agility enable you to achieve what an ordinary survivor can not, giving you new and exciting ways to both kill and avoid the flesh-eating hordes that roam the decaying metropolis. The new map is four times bigger than the original game, giving you plenty of places to sprint, climb, grapple, and glide your way through the city. Just like the previous title, players will be able to craft and use various weapons while also utilizing Aiden\u2019s superhuman abilities. Senua\u2019s Saga: Hellblade II Release date: TBC Not much is known about Ninja Theory\u2019s sequel to Hellblade, but we did get a good look at what players can expect thanks to the 2019 Game Awards Trailer. The first installment was heavily inspired by Norse mythology and its blend of mind-boggling puzzles, hack and slash combat, and psychological horror made for a truly unique tale. While little information is known regarding Senua\u2019s upcoming sequel, we do know that the footage for the trailer was captured entirely via the in-game engine. Not only does the new game looks absolutely stunning, it also seems to continue its predecessor\u2019s themes of dread and death. Fable Release date: TBC After nearly a decade of waiting, fans of the Fable series will finally be able to sink their teeth into a new Fable game. Fable 4 was announced at last year\u2019s Xbox Series X reveal stream and while the 55-second trailer didn\u2019t yield much information, we do know that it serves as a reboot of the beloved series. Microsoft\u2019s official YouTube account also seems to back this up, as the teaser video\u2019s description states: \u201cFable returns with a new beginning for the legendary franchise. Explore a land of fantastical creatures and wondrous places. Developed by Playground Games for Xbox Series X and Windows 10.\u201d Players can expect to fight fantastical creatures, wield deadly magic, explore beautiful places, and vanquish troublesome villains in this eagerly-anticipated action-roleplaying game. Avowed Release date: TBC This dark and moody RPG is being developed by Obsidian, the folks behind Fallout: New Vegas and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II. The first-person RPG is set within the fantasy world of Eora, a place filled with chaos and war. It looks as though our protagonist can wield both magic and melee weapons, so you\u2019ll likely need to use both if you wish to take down the monsters that lurk within the darkness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
