Reader Discussion: What Games Will Be Announced In 2013?

It’s the beginning of a new year. What game franchises do you think will get a newly announced installment in the next 12 months?

2013 promises to be a huge year in gaming. It’s the first year in the life of the Wii U, and both Sony and Microsoft are expected to announce new consoles as well. That means we’re likely to get official game announcements with increasing frequency as the months pass.

What games do you think we’ll see? Will there be a new Call of Duty, and if so, what is its subject? Do you believe we’ll get a new Assassin’s Creed, and if so, what time period will it explore? Will Nintendo bring any of its heavy hitters to bear, like Zelda or Metroid? What other games will show up at E3, on magazine covers, or in other announcements?

  • Fallout 4, Fable 4, BF4, Doom 4, Forza 5, Alan Wake 2, West/Zampella game.
  • My first thought is that we'll finally hear something about Final Fantasy 15. Also, I'll go out on a limb and say we'll finally find out what Retro Studios is working on. I'm betting it's 2D Metroid.
  • Half-life 3.....(Wishful thinking)
  • Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty are sure bets. It'd be like questioning Madden.

    I'd like an improved port of AC: Liberation for consoles as "filler" this year.

    Since it's just Announced and not Released, I'm going to fantasize about the Dragon's Dogma sequel, Uncharted 4 for PS4, Resident Evil 7, and...

    Let's go all out. Since there's a Deadpool game in the mix, I want a Dennis Hopeless scripted Cable and X-Force game with Cable, Domino, Colossus, Hope, Dr. Nemesis, and Forge. Won't happen, but since Domino and Psylocke are in Deadpool, I can dream.
  • Star wars 1313!!!! can't wait to take down some clankers as a bounty hunter.
    Deadpool game. gonna break the 4th wall a little bit. hope i get to punch wolverine in the face.
    Angry Birds football!!!!! tim tebow yellow, peyton manning blue, tom brady red
    Tomb raider
    Aliens:Colonial marines!!! that multiplayer better be good.
    Hunder games: catching fire movie!!!
  • SUPER SMASH BROS. 4!!!!! It probably won't be announced but one can hope. I would also like a new Metroid.
  • Zero Escape Volume 3. :)
  • Probably Pokemon Gen VI.
  • Obvious:  Modern Warfare 4, Madden 14, NCAA 14, Fifa 14, mandatory EA shooter

    Predictions:  Zelda WiiU, Mario WiiU, Mario Kart WiiU, Fallout 4, a new Assassin's Creed

  • Fallout 4 and hopefully an oficial Prey 2 announcement.
  • Fallout 4. Let's do this!
  • Something new from Rocksteady.
  • There's definitely going to be another Call of Duty. Probably just rehash a current IP, like Modern Warfare 4. I don't think they'll release a new subject until you get the next set of consoles. If Ubisoft is smart they'll hold off on releasing a new time period Assassin's Creed until the next consoles. The American Revolution has too much history that they could bank off of it for a while with DLC. They could maybe do a spinoff, think Assassin's Creed II, and do a War of 1812 or other early American History. I'd like to see Zelda or Metroid brought back but it always seems redone. They need to come up with something fresh and different. Nintendo could finally tie together the different histories of Zelda. And I'd like to see a 2D/3D mashup for Metroid.
  • I'd love Fallout 4 to be announced but that seems like a 2014 release for next-gen consoles. I'd also enjoy something about Mass Effect 4, for it to be officially released. Possibly even Assassins Creed 4 and something from the depths of Valve (i.e. Portal 3, L4D 3, Half-Life 3). Maybe even a prequel/sequel to the Batman Arkham series!

    Coming from Nintendo, I also would enjoy an announcement of Legend of Zelda in the cartoon-y style of Wind Waker for console, and I'd really like it to be as good as Wind Waker, not like the others from the same style (which I haven't heard the best about).
  • Since kingdom hearts is releasing 1.5 in HD, you can presume that 2.5 will be announced this year, followed by Kingdom Hearts 3(hopefully). I'd love Portal 3 to be announced, but that will probably be a next gen console game; which i'm fine with if it makes it all the better. I doubt there will be a Call of duty modern warfare sequel and definetly won't be Blacks ops 3, so maybe a new one all together? Far less likely(more like next to impossible), but I'd love a new Jak and Daxter game. Or a New Game featuring Yoshi, Marios had his spotlight for far to long.
  • Uh... Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, other similarly spammed games.

    I think there will be a Metroid announcement.  I hope this isn't wishful thinking.  Fallout 4.

  • Hopefully Fallout 4 and a 2D Metroid.
  • I'd love to see a new 3d Mario announced for the WIi U, as well as the next Mario Kart, just to see what interesting things Nintendo has planned with the tablet. An exclusive GTA Vita title would be nice as well. Something has to stimulate interest in the Vita, and at this point, I have no faith in Sony to do it.

    Also, i'm expecting Sony to discontinue the 3G Vita model. It was a terrible idea, and I seriously doubt that its generated enough profit in sales or in subscriptions to continue producing it.
  • Zelda and the Rare developed Star Fox, will probably come to light. As well as a Saints 4, pending the studio's move. Of course, all the yearly franchises like AC and COD will appear, maybe Bad Company 3 from EA?
    Also, wild card, I'm calling Team Fortress 3 from Valve. Everyone's crying for Half Life 3, but I believe they'll '3' something else first. This will be the launch product of their Steam Machine, me thinks.
  • I'm thinking the Wii U will get some serious first party love. I predict that E3 will reveal Smash Bros. U, Retro's New Metroid game, Mario Party 10, & Mario Kart 8. I would like to see my favorite which is Zelda, but I highly doubt it. On a side note, I would kill to hear something about Half Life 3.
