When it comes to gaming, sci-fi is undoubtedly one of the biggest genres there is — next to fantasy and nitty-gritty realism (with not so realistic healing). Some of the greatest games of all time are in the genre: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect 2, Metal Gear Solid 2. It’s about time we had a look at what new sci-fi games will be coming our way in 2019.

Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Platform(s): PC, XB1
The sci-fi action-adventure sequel filled to the brim with destructive capabilities is making a lot of promises to its fanbase. It’s one of the only new exclusives the Xbox One has left at this point, so if the game doesn’t fulfil the hype, it won’t be looking good for the console. No pressure. The game’s premise does seem fairly tough to mess up, though, and there’s no doubt a game starring everyone’s favourite Terry Crews and the ability to destroy basically everything will at least be fun.
