This year’s Gamescom has proved to be a spectacular show with lots of incredible games. Packed with lots of surprises for avid games, the event showcased some pretty incredible upcoming released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC in the following 18 months. Here are 10 titles worth looking out for:
- Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

The Phantom Pain managed to impress the audience with its freedom to experiment and attention to detail. In Gamescom and E3 demos, it just rocked. The game highlighted a dynamic stealth action and a multi-player mode that may take the whole Metal Gear experience to a different level. There’s no official release date, but fans should stay alert.
- The Tomorrow Children

Rather tricky to summarize in a 60-second trailer, The Tomorrow Children was described as a dreamlike Marxism simulator by Dylan Cuthbert, the director of the game. This surreal sandbox video game will be a PS4 exclusive with lots of Minecraft-inspired collaborative buildings and social economics set in a post-apocalyptic Soviet Union.
- Assassin’s Creed Unity
This historical action-adventure video game will be released this December, for Xbox One, PS4 and Windows. It managed to draw a lot of attention at Gamescom because it’s the first in the Assassin’s Creed series to be designed for powerful console hardware. Let’s just hope the end result can knock our socks off.
- Until Dawn

Released for the first time back in 2012 as a tacky horror game Until Dawn raised from the ashes, just like a Phoenix. Backed up by some serious Hollywood talent, this PS4 exclusive has retained its jump-scare, pulpy roots and excellently-implemented yet simple motion controls.
- Bloodborne

We have a winner! But gamers will have to wait until February 2015 to see Bloodborne in action. Are you ready for some bloody action mixed with creepy sounds and even creepier environments? That’s exactly what Bloodborne will offer. There’s also an interesting mechanic system called the “regain system”, where players can recover lost health by fighting back.
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Call of Duty’s Ghosts, released last year, was not that groundbreaking. Fortunately, the blockbuster franchise is hoping to redeem itself with Advanced Warfare. Let’s just say they might succeed, considering the trailer presented at Gamescom was quite powerful – we’re talking rapid dashes, double jumps, and double jumps, together with a mix of perks, futuristic new weapons and player abilities.
- Life is Strange
[singlepic id=10170 w= h= float=center]
Life is Strange teamed up with Square Enix and the end result is an adventure video game centered on exploration and choice. The female character must solve her friend’s disappearance, and from what we’ve seen from the Gamescom trailer, the whole in-game action seems truly engaging. It’s not every day we get the chance to rewind time and undo some actions to change the future.
- Quantum Break
This Xbox One exclusive is a third-person video game that amazed a lot of gamers at Gamescom. Featuring live-action videos mixed with a normal gameplay, Quantum Break is all about reuniting heroes, exciting environments and lots of action.
- Dead Island 2

Dead Island 2 is a survivor horror game awaiting release next spring. It features the most intuitive, combat-like environment, and although it’s rather brutal, it sure knows how to entice its gamers. Adding drop-in, drop-out co-ops, and some pretty scary characters, you shouldn’t play with game with your kids.
- Halo: Master of Chief Collection
[singlepic id=10172 w= h= float=center]
Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned Halo game? Master of Chief Collection feels just like Halo 2, only the experience is a lot better. The shortcuts, the weapons, the jumping, the vehicles, will bring back some good memories. It looks like we’ll see Master of Chief Collection come out this November.
