Xenoblade Chronicles X
(2015)
A spiritual successor to Xenoblade Chronicles
that, although not directly linked to the game,
will feature references from the game that
released on Wii in 2010. It's coming to Wii U
in 2015.
Assassin’s Creed: Victory?
(Oct)
Working on the codename of Victory, details
were leaked to Kotaku in December about the
game's setting. Yes, it's Victorian England, so
expect plenty of gas lamp lit streets, pea soup
fog, and potentially the hands of the Ripper.
Metal Gear Solid V:
The Phantom Pain (2015)
We've had the entree, but now we want
the main. Kojima's 10th game in the series
reprises the legendary Snake – aka Big Boss –
who awakens for a nine year coma. It will be
the first to use the powerful FOX Engine.
Mortal Kombat X (April 15)
What game would draw crowds for two hours
just to sit through a 15 minute gameplay video
at E3 last year? Yep, you guessed it. Fighting
fans will be counting down the days.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six:
Siege (2015)
Fond memories of playing this in Los Angeles.
Even fonder memories of shooting our game
lead – a dev on the title – in the back of
the head before a single shot in anger was
registered. You won't want to miss Ubi’s
tactical shooter.
Homefront: The Revolution
(2015)
When we heard that John Milius wrote the
story behind the first Homefront , we held
high hopes for the game. We were a little
disappointed. It's now over to Crytek to pick
up where Kaos Studios left off.
Mario Maker (2015)
Ever thought that you could design a better
Mario game than you’ve actually played?
Doubtful, we know. However, Mario Maker
gives you the tools – and the opportunity – to
at least try.
Battlefield: Hardline
(March 19)
Pulling in Dead Space dev Visceral Games to
pen the story is an interesting move, and with
DICE behind the multiplayer, we're keen to
see where EA are going to take this cops and
robber-themed FPS.
The Order: 1886 (Feb 20)
Ready at Dawn's move from PSP to PS4
comes in the shape of a gorgeous looking
alternate history Victorian England, in which
an order of knights face off against a horde of
demonic creatures.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
(May 19)
It might've slipped three months, but that
just drives the enthusiasm for this title even
higher. This expansive open-world role player
already looks amazing – imagine what an
additional 12 weeks will do.
Bloodborne (March 25)
It's hard not to get excited whenever
From Software announce a project, and
Bloodborne, announced at E3 last year,
is no exception. It's a new franchise
for the Japanese developer in which
you're likely to die a lot.
Tom Clancy’s The
Division (2015)
Ravaged by disease, the US is in
disarray and it's up to you as an
agent of The Division to attempt
to restore order in this intriguing
MMO shooter from Ubisoft.
Batman:
Arkham Knight (June 3)
Back in the hands off Rocksteady
Studios, this is the concluding part
of the Arkham trilogy and will feature
the Scarecrow – so excellently portrayed in
Arkham Asylum – as the primary antagonist.
We really couldn't be any happier about that.
Kingdom Hearts III (2015)
It's always good to hear the crowd go wild at
the E3 press conferences, and that's exactly
what happened at Sony's media briefing in
2013 for the eighth Kingdom Hearts title in
the franchise. This will be huge.
As we move into 2015, it’s time to take a look at what video games
are coming to JB Hi-Fi this year. It’s looking pretty damn fine.
