What's Happening

The Most-Anticipated PS3 Games Of 2011


Portal 2 (April 20)
Portal's GLaDOS was voted the best character of the past decade, and we can't wait to spar with her again in this FPS puzzler that introduces new gameplay elements and co-op play to test our mental meddle.

Mortal Kombat (spring)
The simple name says it all. Ed Boon and his team are bringing the series back to its roots, which means it has all the gore and Fatalities your stomach can handle. And for all you PS3 fans, you'll be happy to hear that Kratos is in the game.

Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collection (spring)
If you weren't in on the ground floor for these two cult classics when they first came out for the PS2, this is a great opportunity to see what everyone has been raving about. Both games have been remastered in HD and will feature 3D and Trophy support.

L.A. Noire (spring)
L.A. Noire's investigation-based gameplay makes this more than just another Rockstar open world title, but this game appears to sacrifice none of Rockstar's attention to detail and ambition.

Resistance 3 (Aug.6)
The game takes place four years after Resistance 2, and follows the tribulations of new protagonist Joseph Capelli.

Batman: Arkham City (fall)
Hugo Strange knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman, and that's just the beginning of what this game has in store. Gotham's criminals have been isolated in the criminal haven/prison that is Arkham City, and super-villains like Two-Face are carving out their space by any means necessary.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (November 11)
By its title alone, it's obvious that this new adventure explores the scrolls' prophecy regarding Cyrodiil's northern neighbor Skyrim and the return of the dragons. Plenty of streaming fire and RPG action is sure to ensue.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (November 1)
Uncharted 3 takes Nathan Drake and Sully to the Arabian Desert in search of a lost city dubbed "Atlantis of the Sands." This new adventure includes hand-to-hand combat with multiple opponents and other new melee attacks.


The Last Guardian (holiday)
Fumito Ueda and the team at Team Ico return with this enigmatic tale of a boy and a beast we know as the Trico. Like Shadow of the Colossus and ICO before it, The Last Guardian will explore the relationship between the two couched in Team Ico's signature style.

Mass Effect 3 (holiday)
PS3 owners can now get in on the action day-and-date, and it'll make a nice bookend to the year with Mass Effect 2 in January.

TO BE ANNOUNCED...
These games are scheduled to come out in 2011 although we don't have a firm release date or timeframe.


Twisted Metal
Sorcery (shown above)
Assassin's Creed III
Saints Row 3
Infamous 2
Duke Nukem Forever
Max Payne 3

  • Who cares about Crap Station 3
  • like 3 of those are exclusives tho...
  • I don't know about anyone else, but I'm excited for Metal Gear Rising to come out which I believe comes out in 2011.
  • I CANNOT wait for Infamous 2, Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham CIty, and the ICO Collection. I have an eye for others though.
  • .........inFAMOUS 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • There really is so many good games coming out. 2011 will be a benchmark year by the early looks of it and I can't wait for it!
  • ... I counted 13 games in that list that I wanted.

    ...Crap, I need some cash.

    Though this makes me wonder, with all of these PS3 games, most being exclusive, and Nintendo's 3DS, I wonder what Microsoft has up their sleeve for 2011.

    I can't wait to see some more really cool Kinect games. I can't play Kinect Sports forever! :P
  • just like 2010 ps3 shall win with exclusives :P

  • just like 2010 ps3 shall win with exclusives :P
  • Looks like it will be a great year for gaming in general!

  • I don't want to be THAT guy but i'm pretty sure Uncharted 3 comes out on 11/11/11.
  • So many great games

  • The title sould have read the most anticipate multiplats & exclusives games for PS3. Seeing as how thier are more Multiplat titles than thier are exclusives mentioned. a bit mileading, i think.
  • Great article, but where's Infamous 2?
  • so many games, not enough $ :| hey gameinformer....you know you want to hit me up with some free games :D
  • Ah.. new games scheduled to come out on 2011... ahh.. oh nice yeah.. Wait, Assassin's..Creed...3? O.O.... Although i knew that Ubi is now making yearly games [atleast it's not as bland as CoD gets, although i still don't approve of it.], i did not expect AC3 to come out next year...
  • Everyone always forgets PROJECT DARK on their 2011 list...
  • I've been wanting a reason to play the PS3 again. I haven't used it since las summer. Uncharted, Littlebigplanet, and Twisted metal are perfect excuses to turn it back on.

  • Am I the only one exited for ratchet and clank all 4 one?
  • I agree with the first comment
