If you have any games not completed in 2019, then it is better to complete them soon, because 2020 will bring many long-awaited releases for all tastes. To help you decide what to play first, we've compiled a list of the most anticipated PC games of 2020.
It is based on selections from reputable profile sites such as: PC Gamer, Digital Trends, Tech Radar, Igromania, etc.
20. Warcraft III: Reforged
Release date: January 29
Genre: real time strategy
Warcraft wasn't always about adventuring in Azeroth with friends. It all started in 1994 as a real-time strategy game. In 2002, the last game in the RTS series was released - Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. She became one of the hits, and many adult players remember and love her to this day.
That is why Blizzard announced a re-release of this game with a complete graphical "overhaul".
Warcraft III: Reforged offers an improved world editor, updated character models, buildings, cut scenes and even voiceovers. The edition includes both the original Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne expansion.
19. Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Release date: March 11th
Genre: adventure, platformer
Next in the top 20 most anticipated PC games, the sequel to one of the most beautiful games of 2015 will bring players back to the little spirit of the forest named Ori.
As in the first game, you will need to explore levels, solve puzzles, and you can save wherever you want (with minor restrictions). Great art style and music are even better, and combat promises to be more dynamic.
18. Doom Eternal
Release date: 20th of March
Genre: first person shooter
After 2016 and a great reboot, Id Software decided not to rest on its laurels and prove that Doom Slayer is still hoo!
Hell Boy now has a blade built into the glove of his suit for more effective finishing off demons, a flamethrower on his shoulder and a hook to get around or pull towards an enemy at lightning speed.
The developers promise spectacular visual displays of enemy damage and the ability to damage demon weapons, for example, the Arachnotron machine gun.
17. Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord
Release date: March 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: Action / RPG
It seems that TaleWorlds' long-term construction is finally putting the last bricks. In March, the game will start in Early Access in English, and multilingual support will be added with the release of the full version.
The developers promise that already in early access, players will try out most of the mechanics and will be able to go through a full story campaign that will stretch for more than 100 hours.
The medieval world of Bannerlord is not only harsh, but also very diverse, and does not limit the character's capabilities only to military craft. You can go into trade or become a dashing caravan robber, which will be hunted by all the surrounding lords. "From rags to riches" is about this game.
16. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Release date: April 3rd
Genre: Survival horror
Following the success of the Resident Evil 2 remake in 2019, Capcom is forging the iron while it's hot and is about to release a remake of Resident Evil 3. This game will be a completely remake of the adventures of Jill Valentine, with the main villain Nemesis and panic whenever you think about sitting down and taking a break.
Resident Evil 3 will also include Resident Evil 3: Resistance, a multiplayer game that allows a single player to shoot hordes of enemies and set traps for living opponents.
15. Gears Tactics
Release date: April 28, 2020
Genre: step-by-step strategy
This XCOM-like strategy game is not like the familiar Gears of War games. However, it boasts a 40-hour campaign with no microtransactions.
Gears Tactics offers an exclusively solo mode and takes place 12 years before the start of the original Gears of War.
14. Wasteland 3
Release date: May 18, 2020
Genre: RPG
In 2014, Wasteland 2 became one of the few high-profile crowdfunding successes, and it seems that Wasteland 3 is preparing to repeat that success.
One of the most enticing aspects of the new game is the story-driven multiplayer campaign, in which two players can control groups of rangers. Also in Wasteland 3, vehicles should appear.
13. Marvel's Avengers
Release date: September 4, 2020
Genre: action-adventure
If you have long dreamed of becoming an Avenger, then in September you can try on the virtual costume of Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, and many other famous heroes of the superhero team.
The plot of Marvel's Avengers begins after the tragic event that led to the dissolution of the organization. The new threat again requires a general gathering.
Along with the traditional single company, there will also be a multiplayer mode.
12. Beyond Good & Evil 2
Release date: 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: Action / RPG
In the end, Michel Ansel and his Ubisoft team have confirmed that one of the most requested and highly anticipated games of 2020 is actually a prequel to the first Beyond Good & Evil.
In the second part, players will have to adventure in a huge world full of space pirates, hybrid slaves and sinister laboratories. Beyond Good & Evil 2 will have a corporate mode, so you can play together with a friend.
11. Minecraft Dungeons
Release date: spring 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: Action / RPG
Minecraft has been transformed into a whole bunch of different things over the past decade, and has become one of the most popular games in history. But now Mojang will finally release a new Minecraft. And no, this is not Minecraft 2.
Minecraft Dungeons uses a simple "dungeon seeker" formula. Instead of placing blocks and crafting, the player will have to do equally fun activities such as solving puzzles, searching for treasures and fighting mobs in generated dungeons.
10. Gods & Monsters
Release date: 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: action-adventure
The top 10 most anticipated PC games of 2020 are opened by an open world project from Ubisoft. The novelty has a noticeably different focus compared to other projects of the publisher, such as Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Ghost Recon: Breakpoint.
She certainly shares a relationship with Greek mythology, like Odyssey, but Gods & Monsters is more focused on exploring the vast world and surviving in it.
According to the developers, the game was created under the influence of such a masterpiece as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
9. Elden Ring
Release date: 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: third person action / RPG
Created by Hidetaka Miyazaki, this game brings many of the familiar elements of Souls games, but with an increased emphasis on RPG elements.
Together with Miyazaki, Elden Ring was created by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin, on whose works the famous TV series Game of Thrones is based. He was engaged in the narrative part of the project (mythology and history of what happened before the events of the game).
Considering the creative duo of Miyazaki and Martin, and the huge open world of Elden Ring, the game is to be expected to be another big step forward for FromSoftware developers, and possibly one of the best games of the decade.
8. Watch Dogs Legion
Release date: 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: action-adventure
It's a complete reimagining of what's possible in the Watch Dogs universe. The game, which is set in London in the near future, has no hero. Instead, you can literally play as someone you meet in the open world, from a street thug to a tough lawyer and even a psychopathic grandfather.
If your character dies, it doesn't matter, just move on to a new one. It's a wildly ambitious concept that is sure to find its fans among gamers.
7. Half-Life: Alyx
Release date: March 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: first person shooter
It's been 13 years since we last played a Half-Life game. It has been a long wait, and is about to come out ... but not Half-Life 3, but a VR exclusive. Which will offer some of the most stunning visuals we've ever seen in best virtual reality glasses.
Half-Life: Alyx will show the canon story that took place before the events of the second episode, through the eyes of Alix Vance. And she will tell about how she and her father, Eli Vance, a brilliant scientist and the greatest ally of Gordon Freeman, fought against the alien civilization "Alliance".
This game project will be available to anyone with a SteamVR headset (Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest with Oculus Link cable, HTC Vive, and Valve Index).
6. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Release date: 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: Adventures
The Star Wars movie saga has spawned several video games over the years, but they are made in different genres and target different platforms.
With the release of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, every movie in the Star Wars franchise will be adapted into the vast universe of a single video game. Which, at the same time, retains the humor characteristic of the Lego series.
5. Kerbal Space Program 2
Release date: 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: space simulator
The little green men will soon be here, this time with a simpler tutorial system, the ability to build colonies on other planets, and multiplayer. And in the second part of Kerbal it will be possible to travel to other star systems.
4. Dying Light 2
Release date: 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: Survival horror
The glorious zombie parkour original Dying Light will continue this year. The players will be deprived of firearms, but they will expand the arsenal of cold weapons and present a huge open world (4 times larger than the area of all locations in the first part).
And the consequences of the decisions made will directly affect the course of the game and even help open previously blocked zones. For example, if a player does a good deed for one location and expels all brain lovers from it, then zombies will migrate to another place and start creating problems there. Or new enemies, dead or alive, will visit the restored bridge.
3. Halo Infinite
Release date: end of 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: first person shooter
Halo 5: Guardians, released in 2015, received overwhelmingly positive reviews from both gamers and critics. But it was intended exclusively for the Xbox One.
With Halo Infinite, the situation is different. This game will also be released for PC, which will undoubtedly delight fans of good-quality shooters. The plot is a continuation of the Guardians, however, unlike the previous series, in Infinite the story will focus specifically on the Master Chief.
2. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2
Release date: 2020, exact date unknown
Genre: Action / RPG and immersive sim
The action of the second part of the game will take place in modern Seattle, albeit inhabited by vampires, werewolves and other nocturnal creatures. The main character in Bloodlines 2 is a newly converted vampire with weak supernatural powers. And the gameplay will be based on close combat in the first person.
The type of vampire you choose to play will make a big difference in your gaming experience as you scour the streets of Seattle in search of blood and answers to your questions. Will you be the disgusting Nosferatu, the arrogant Ventrue, or the suave and seductive Toreador?
1. Cyberpunk 2077
Release date: September 17
Genre: Adventures
The top 20 most entertaining PC games in 2020 are spearheaded by a project announced before The Witcher 3 became legendary.
Cyberpunk 2077 was originally supposed to be released in April 2020, however the release date has been pushed back to September. The developer CD Projekt RED explained this by the desire to conduct new tests and additional verification of the levels.
In the neon-lit city of the future, you play as V, a cybernetically enhanced mercenary seeking a device that can grant immortality.
The game will take place in Night City - a metropolis filled with perverts, crime and opportunity. It looks to be the most populous open city ever to exist in the gaming world.
