#4 – Hitman (2016)

One of the most progressive franchise that’s sold more than 8 million units to-date.

I played and completed the last installment “The Hitman Absolution” and have since been aching for Square Enix to come out with the new Hitman game. And they’re finally doing just that.

Simply called Hitman, the sixth entry in the series is set for 2016 release. The official trailer is just amazing to watch (I’ve watched it many times). Hitman is an action-adventure stealth video game to be published by Square Enix and developed by IO Interactive for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

#3 – Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands

From the Rainbow Six series to the Splinter Cell series, the Tom Clancy’s gaming franchise is one of my favorites. The upcoming Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands is an open world tactical shooter video game which is developed by Ubisoft Paris and published by Ubisoft. It’ll be for the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms.

Ghost Recon Wildlands is the first open world game in the Ghost Recon series. The trailer was an absolutely awesome treat for me, with some very realistic graphics, background track, and the peek on the actual gameplay.

#1 – Quantum Break

Here it is….. my number choice of the most anticipated game of 2016; Quantum Break.

It’s yet another third-person shooter action game but the storyline and gameplay is revolutionary in my view. You’ll play as Jack Joyce (casting Shawn Ashmore of The Following and X-Men fame), a person with time manipulation powers in a world where time stutters that makes everything freeze but Joyce.

Quantum Break will feature digital episodes that interact with the game based on the player’s choices. The game is is being developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios for the Xbox One.
