Upcoming Promising Games in 2019

REmake 2

My most anticipated video game of the foreseeable upcoming year, REmake 2, or Resident Evil 2, is looking fantastic, what with the gore being spilled and delivered everywhere. I get really excited of the fact that although the police station looks familiar,

everything has been thrown into the remix pan, and new puzzles, mechanics from Resident Evil 7, careful lightning and darkness design, voice acting, graphics and the highly likely possibility of uncovering new areas, story and enemies finishes off what might be the best remake video game since the first REmake, one of my all time favorite games.

Kingdom Hearts III

While typing this, I am finishing off the related games after finishing part 1 and 2 last year. As Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance are mandatory for the overall plot, I am almost done with them, while I while watch the rest through the available cut scenes.

Kingdom Hearts III, like Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian, took forever to develop, and now Squeenix is finally releasing it. With a modern graphical engine and beautiful new Dinsey worlds to discover such as Toy Story, Rapunzel and Big Hero 6, consider me joyful. Despite the inconsistent overall plot narration, everything else is fun to experience with this franchise!

Sekiro

Hidetaka Miyazaki and his primary team are almost bringing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the spiritual successor of both Tenchu and the Soulsborne games. With a controversial new approach as to making it a single player only experience, the online experience is removed.

What is added though is that the overall design is intended for the sole player to explore, as the open design with the ability to slingshot your way very quickly around, combined with stealth and the robust action RPG gameplay we are familiar with makes this look good.

The demonic Japanese setting seems to compete with Nioh 2 and Ghost of Tsushima, but make not mistake; that's only aesthetically speaking. From Software has promised to bring a deep layer of lore to Sekiro as well, as well as stating that the death penalty will be unlike anything gamers has seen.

Also saying that it's more challenging than anything in last 10 years they released, I really hope that Sekiro succeeds wonderfully, especially just like Demon's Souls, the first Dark Souls and Bloodborne did, as first entries seems to be when Miyazaki and From Software excel the most.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Graphically, this game needs some serious work. However, if the gameplay is anything like Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, which is just like Castlevania, then it will be worth waiting for, whether it's linear, or whether it's Metroidvania type.

I will cautiously await for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. And these 4 are basically the only known video games I am looking forward too! Usually I have a few more, but I'm sure that like any year, 2019 will bring out a worthy GotY title, and unexpected great new IP's, or sequels.
