Top 10 Upcoming Video Games Revealed in 2017

With the end of E3 comes time to contemplate and anticipate the video game releases that were revealed this year. The key word here is 'revealed' since some of these games may not be released this year. That doesn't make me any less excited for them. Let's jump right into it and look at my top 10 upcoming video games revealed in 2017.


10. Ori and the Will of the Wisps
I am not the biggest fan of Microsoft games. However, the trailer for this game was so beautiful and well done that I am very curious. It is a sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest. I have not heard of that game before now but I will have to look it up. The visuals were breathtaking and even though there weren't any words spoken, I got a sense of a very deep and interesting story. I can't wait for more information about this game to come out. This will be for the Xbox One and PC and the release date has not been given yet.


9. Sonic Mania
Do you remember the Sega Genesis? I do and nothing was more fun than playing Sonic the Hedgehog. Now we will get a chance to play his games again in the classic Sonic style. It looks beautiful and nostalgic at the same time. I can't wait to see what this game has in store. It will be released August 2017 for the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC.


8. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
The last thing I expected what another Uncharted game. Unfortunately, Nathan Drake will not be in this one. This one features Nadine Ross and Chloe Frazer as the main characters. While I cannot agree with the choice, I am still interested in seeing what this holds for the future. It will be released August 2017 for the PS4. Let's hope they can make it as fun as the other Uncharted games.


7. Yoshi
Even Yoshi is getting a game for the new Nintendo Switch. Again, not much information is known but there is clearly a similarity to this and Yoshi's Woolly World. This time the world seems to be made of cardboard while Yoshi is animated in his classic 3D appearance. I am curious to see what kind of story with go with this game. I found Yoshi's Woolly World to be adorable and fun even though I had to watch someone play it (I don't own a Wii U). Still, it is another great game offering from Nintendo which will be released at some point in 2018 for the Switch.


6. Assassin's Creed: Origins
While I have never played Assassin's Creed, I have always admired the game graphics, atmosphere, and story. This addition to the series takes place in one of my favorite history subjects: Ancient Egypt. The image of the assassin sliding down a pyramid is epic by itself. The rest is beautiful and so amazing that I may just have to get a copy when it comes out - or hope someone does a let's play of it on YouTube. This game will be released in October 2017 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.


5. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
I love it when older games get re-released for newer systems. It seems like a reward for long-time gamers to be able to enjoy older games again. Crash Bandicoot is finally getting his day in the sun with the re-mastering of his original three games. It's not by the game company, but that's okay. The gameplay that I have seen is beautiful and faithful to everyone's favorite crazy bandicoot. I can't wait for it to be released at the end of this month (June 2017) for the PS4.


4. Super Mario Odyssey
Speaking of old game characters getting new looks, Mario is back again in what appears to be his most amazing adventure yet. Using his now magical hat, he can traverse open levels and possess enemies. The image of a Goomba with a mustache and Mario cap is just adorable. I am usually pretty old-school when it comes to my games but this looks too good not to play. I eagerly anticipate any new information about this upcoming game. It will be released October 2017 for the Nintendo Switch...which means I may have to save my money up to buy the system if I want to play this game.


3. Spider-Man
This was unexpectedly epic to watch. I have never been pulled so completely into a game trailer in my life. It was non-stop action in a beautiful, smoothly animated world. Our favorite web-slinger is getting his own game and a new look to go with it. I can't express how epic this game looks. It just looks so amazing...but it wont' be released for the PS4 until sometime in 2018 or so. If the game is anything like it's trailer, then it will be worth the wait.


2. Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
I was surprised when this wasn't mentioned at E3. Still, this is one of the best reveals by the Pokémon Company this year. While it is not certain if this is a sequel, prequel, or just a repeat of the same story with a few changes (like Pokémon Emerald or Platinum), I am still so excited about this game. What new Pokémon and places will we get to see? Will there be new characters or will we see the characters from Sun and Moon with different appearances? All I do know is that on November 17, 2017, I will be heading to the store to buy my copy of one of these games for my 3DS.


1. Kingdom Hearts 3
I know, it's release date is still TBA but the trailer shown at E3 renews my hope that it will finally be released. I feel like I have been waiting for an eternity for this game. It looks beautiful and seems to be very action-packed. This will be for the Xbox One and PS4. I can't wait to play it!!


Well, that's it.

That's all that I have for today. I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed writing it.
