It’s worth mentioning that this list does not include certain big name games that might well come out in 2019, but have not been confirmed yet. Even so, it’s encouraging to see a measure of variety in this list, which encompasses franchise shooters, roleplaying games, adventures and a few oddities. Many games that we’ll see in 2019 have yet to be announced, or do not have a firm release date. Given the nature of the game industry these days, it’s too early to read much in the way of trends from this list. From rollicking combat games to quieter indie explorations of the soul, here are 50 games (listed alphabetically) that we’re excited to see, coming in the year ahead.

Here comes 2019, and already the roster shows more than enough games coming out to keep us busy.
