Riot Games for years now has been known for its highly successful MOBA video game, League of Legends. The title has been around since 2009 and continues to find an audience today. It's proven to be so popular that it's often used in various tournaments with massive cash prizes. But after working on something for so long now, it's not surprising to see that the development team wanted to expand their horizons a bit by diving into other video game genres. One of those video game genres is an FPS and it's already built up a ton of hype.
Valorant is Riot Games take on a team focused FPS. It's a game that blends together the high precision of CSGO with the team hero roster from the likes of Overwatch. This mash-up is not only all about fast-paced combat but also working well with your team. So far, this game is only in closed beta but it's proved to be quite a hit and there are players eagerly awaiting its launch into the market. While we know it's slated to release this summer, fans are still actively watching Twitch streams of other players showcasing the game. It's also the main way of getting an access code to enter the beta as Riot Games is dropping keys to those that watch live channels playing Valorant.

#19 Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2
- Developer: Ninja Theory

- Platforms: XSX, PC
- Release: 2020

Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice is a psychological horror hack-and-slash title that follows Senua, a Pict warrior, who must venture into Helheim. Seeking to rescue the soul of her deceased lover, Senua will have to battle a series of otherworldly entities, but with our protagonist suffering from psychosis, the overall world, and venture into Helheim may be too much to handle.
It was during The Game Awards 2019 that a sequel was announced for the upcoming Xbox Series X.We didn't get anything other than a rather great looking trailer so unfortunately there's nothing we can share when it comes to the narrative or just what the premise is about.
#18 Ori And The Will Of The Wisps
- Developer: Moon Studios
- Publisher: Xbox Game Studios
- Platforms: PC, XBO
- Release: March 11, 2020
- Co-op: N/A
- Competitive Multiplayer: N/A
If you enjoyed the 2015 release of Ori and the Blind Forest then chances are you have Ori and the Will of the Wisps already on your radar. The game will take the role of Ori a white guardian spirit who decides to seek out the land that lays beyond the forest and along the way, we'll uncover the truth of the lost ones. There's still plenty of questions left unanswered, but we can expect the same mechanics from the first installment with platforming in a Metroidvania style map.
#17 Assassin's Creed Valhalla
- Developer: Ubisoft
- Publisher: Ubisoft
- Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO, XSX, PS5
- Release: 2020
- Co-op: N/A
- Competitive Multiplayer: N/A
After the release of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, there was a year-long gap before we were going to receive the next installment. Now that we're in 2020 we finally know where the Assassin's Creed franchise is taking players next and it's the Viking age. The video game follows a Viking expansion that is having to deal with several enemy forces. Information is a bit scarce still, but we do know that the game is taking place in Europe where there will be four different kingdoms to explore. Outside of the kingdoms, there's also said to be some points of interest that you can visit such as Stonehenge.
We can also expect the use of naval combat as there has been footage showcasing different ships such as the old Viking longships that will help players navigate through the world. Additionally, there's also a settlement that you'll be able to build up and upgrade over time. We're not sure just yet on what all will be involved with the settlement but it's going to be a hub of sorts for players to continuously tweak. Gameplay will also likely follow the same style built up with from Assassin's Creed Odyssey, but since we're still waiting for gameplay footage, we are just having to wait and see.
#16 Marvel's Avengers- Developer: Crystal Dynamics
- Publisher: Square Enix
- Platforms: Google Stadia, PC, PS4, XBO
- Release: May 15, 2020
- Co-op: Online Only 4 players
- Competitive Multiplayer: N/A
Marvel's Avengers is an upcoming video game being developed by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal. What we know so far is that the game will take place after the events of A-Day, an event in history in which the Avengers gather to showcase their new headquarters in San Francisco. During the event an accident causes the city to be destroyed causing all superheroes to be outlawed. Years passed after the Avengers disbanded when a new foe poses a possible threat against Earth leaving the Avengers to once again join forces and prevent the destruction of humanity.
This will be a third-person action video game title where players can take control of a variety of heroes as they progress through the narrative. Because there is an assortment of heroes with more being added in, you'll find that the gameplay mechanics will change up offering a little bit of a diverse playstyle throughout the campaign. Players will also get the ability to go through a co-op campaign with up to four players total though it looks like local co-op will not be supported.
The PlayStation 4 has a strong life cycle so far since its release and while we are getting close to the launch of next-generation consoles, we still have plenty of new titles to look forward in playing on the PS4 in 2020. We're going to showcase some of our most anticipated video games releasing on the PlayStation 4 this coming year down below. However, with that said, you definitely want to keep this page bookmarked as we'll continue to monitor this article and make new updates when additional video game titles are announced.
#20 The Outer Worlds – Peril of Gorgon
- Developer: Obsidian Entertainment
- Publisher: Private Divison
- Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO, NS
- Release: September 9, 2020 (DLC)
- Co-op: N/A
- Competitive Multiplayer: N/A
Easily one of the best RPG titles that came out last year was Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds. This game allowed the developers to tap back into their time of crafting up Fallout New Vegas as the two games had a very similar feel. Regardless, The Outer Worlds is a space drama that puts players in the center of either siding with the government ruling or joining a resistance lead by a scientist that's deemed mad. Chances are you've already played through this game and have moved on, but we're here to tell you that we're far from done with The Outer Worlds.
This September we are getting the first of two storyline expansions for The Outer Worlds. The first expansion is called Peril of Gorgon. Players will once again rejoin their crew and head to a new quest that will take them to seemingly abandoned post on the Gorgon asteroid. From there it's a mystery of what has been going on at this asteroid which you'll need to solve, but just like the base game, every decision will have some sort of consequence. Players will find that this DLC will bring in a brand new assortment of weapons, NPCs, perks, along with new locations to explore. With that said, there is also going to be some instances that will have players revisiting some familiar locations as well. Apparently, this DLC will take players about eight hours to complete which is a pretty lengthy expansion and as stated earlier, this is just one of two storyline expansions planned.
#19 Call of Duty: Warzone
- Developer: Infinity Ward, Raven Software
- Publisher: Activision
- Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO
- Release: March 10, 2020
- Co-op: Online
- Competitive Multiplayer: Online
When it comes to the Call of Duty franchise, there is no slowing the series down. We receive installments consistently and from a variety of series. The most recent installment to have released is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which is a reboot to the Modern Warfare series that released last-generation of consoles. One thing is for sure, there are a ton of players that actively go out and pick up new installments in order to enjoy online gameplay against others. In fact, that was the sole reason Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 launched without a campaign attached.
At any rate, there may be some gamers out there that are not fond of jumping to a new installment each time in order to find an active online community. As a result, Call of Duty: Warzone may prove to be not only a viable option for those that enjoy online Call of Duty gameplay, but an installment that will be around for a good while. After being rumored and leaked, Call of Duty: Warzone finally made its way out into the market in March of 2020.
This is a free-to-play game mode for players to jump online and play much like other battle royale games available today. By teaming up in squads or going out in a solo match, players are ultimately dropped into a large map and from there must venture out to find resources such as weapons. From there, it's a battle to be the last man standing as the map size slowly shrinks over time.
#17 Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
- Developer: Treyarch, Raven Software
- Publisher: Activision
- Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, XSX
- Release: November 13, 2020
- Co-op: Online
- Competitive: Online
We knew that 2020 would see the return of Call of Duty, an annual video game franchise. While it took towards the second half of 2020 for the game to be fully unveiled, we now know that Call of Duty 2020 is Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. This is a new installment to the Black Ops franchise and one that's supposed to act as a sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops. In this game, players are tossed into the 1980s during the Cold War. Players take the role of CIA officer Russell Adler who is on a case to stop a believed soviet spy by the name of Perseus and being that this is a sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops, players will see some familiar faces return such as Frank Woods.
Just as with any Call of Duty game, there is a big focus around multiplayer. Outside of the campaign, there will be a variety of multiplayer game modes, customization options, and new dynamic maps. There's also going to be a wide variety of vehicles to take control of when traversing through the different multiplayer maps whether it's tanks to jet skies. We imagine there will be a ton of attention on this game when it launches this November. Likewise, we know that the free-to-play battle royale game, Call of Duty: Warzone is supposed to evolve with each new Call of Duty installment released. As a result, we imagine that there will be some incentive in checking out the companion game as well.
#18 Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
- Developer: Toys for Bob
- Publisher: Activision
- Platforms: PS4, XBO
- Release: October 2, 2020
- Co-op: TBA
- Competitive Multiplayer: TBA
Crash Bandicoot is back with Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time. We've seen several past Crash Bandicoot titles release into the market after Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, but this installment will take place following the events of the third mainline installment. In this game, a few years have passed since Uka Uka, Dr. Cortex, and N. Tropy was sent to the end of time and space. However, it appears that the three have found a way to escape their imprisonment and by doing so they left an exit for the rest of the nefarious villains to also flood out into the world again. As a result, Crash Bandicoot and Coco will have to once again restore order.
This installment looks like it will feel and act very much the same as the original trilogy that Naughty Dog developed, however, the studio rebuilt the mechanics from the ground up. As a result, you can expect the platformer to perform as expected on modern platforms. In this title, players will also find that there will be larger levels and bigger boss fights. Furthermore, it seems that we may get tossed into the role of other characters as well such as Dr. Neo Cortext and that could give a better insight behind some of his actions or views.

Game 200: April 20 2018 The Initials Games
Fans of the Assassin's Creed franchise had been waiting for over a year to see what the next mainline installment would be after the 2018 Assassin's Creed Odyssey release. It was the beginning of May that we got the reveal of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, the next epic installment to the long running franchise. As the name suggests, this game will be putting players into a new tale set in the Viking age where players take the role of a Viking leader during an expansion. While we're still waiting for more information to come out, it does look like there will be plenty of exploration, much like Assassin's Creed Odyssey. With a few kingdoms spread across the land and the ability to build up your own settlement, this could be quite an immersive world to take in. There's even word of a season pass that will grant players some Beowulf levels, though we'll have to wait a bit longer to see just what all this game entails.
