We are halfway through the year and can’t wait for the new games coming in the second half of the year. With the E3 announcements, there are many games to look forward to.
The excitement of playing a new game can’t be matched by anything else. With the new PS5 and the Xbox series S being the net gen consoles with some major improvements we can see some games which will test their capabilities to the limit.
The Nintendo Switch is also a great handheld console with Nintendo dropping new games almost every quarter. PC games continue to set the standard for an overall amazing game. Here is the list of the ten games that we are most hyped about.
1) Rainbow Six Extraction
Fun fact about this game, It was originally going to be named ‘Rainbow Six Quarantine.’ After the Covid quarantine, they rightly decided to change the name and call it Rainbow Six Extraction. It is the latest instalment in Ubisoft’s tactical shooter.
This time they have swapped out Tom Clancy’s usual human enemies and replaced them with aliens. They have also added some new guns suitable to take out the aliens. It gives off a zombie survivor vibe but with aliens. We can’t wait to test it out. The game will be available on PS5, PS4, PC and Xbox. It releases on September 16.
2) Guardians of the Galaxy
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is going strong and we had heard rumours about a new Guardians of the Galaxy game was in the works. But when they released the trailer at E3 fans were left shocked to see the game so early.
Square Enix, the studio behind this game, has given us so many gems in the past that expectations are high. Especially after watching the trailer. This will be their original take on the franchise. It will have a single-player campaign. The game will be available on PS5, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch. It releases on October 26.

4) FIFA 22
The fan favourite franchise is returning with new features in FIFA 22. The trailer released by EA is just supposed to get the fans hyped up. We will see some actual gameplay as we near the release date. The innovative thing that EA has done this year is they fitted professional players with an Xsens suit to capture the realistic movements and give the feeling of an intense football match.
It is called as HyperMotion and it has got the fans excited. It will be a revolutionary feature for the sports simulator. The game will be released on October 1. You can play it on PS5, Xbox, PS4, Switch and PC.

7) Halo: Infinite
Halo: Infinite was supposed to be launched with the new Xbox console but the developers decided to delay the launch and work on the game a bit more.

Hopefully Halo: Infinite turns out better than the last one. The release date is Autumn 2021. It will be available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.
8) Far Cry 6

Deathloop takes place on an island where there are two assassins trying to foil each other’s plans. It gets more complex with the added element of a time loop. The game was supposed to be launched in May but it was delayed to September 14. It will be available on PS5 and PC.
