[ WWW.TECHLIFE.NET] [ 049 ]Watch Dogs Legion
March 2020
Despite a beleaguered past, the
Watch Dogs franchise is still
kicking, showing off an
impressive E3 gameplay demo.
Set in a dystopian near-future
London, Legion sees players able
to take control of any random
character wandering the
overworld, an ability that will
prove necessary due to the
game’s permadeath mechanic.

Baldur’s Gate 3 TBC
It’s been almost two decades since a new
Baldur’s Gate game – no, the 2013 remaster
doesn’t count – so, needless to say, we’re
fairly hyped about this. The third installment
is bringing some seriously Lovecraftian styles
into play, with a (gross) CGI trailer that shows
a soldier transformed into a tentacled
Cthulian beast (it’s an Ithillid - ed).

Doom Eternal November 2019
Look: It’s Doom! The world has really gone to
the dogs, so it’s up to you to don that iconic
green armor and slaughter hordes of demons
to a shredding soundtrack. Bethesda also
showed an asymmetric multiplayer mode,
which sees players commanding either the
Doom Slayer himself or a pair of
powerful demons.- Developer id Software

Last Oasis September 2019
Indie dev team Donkey Crew is working on
something that looks genuinely original. Set
in a sprawling open world of deserts and
woodlands, Last Oasis tasks players with
constructing giant many-legged woodpunk
platforms called Walkers. It’s multiplayer,
forcing players to choose whether to help or
hinder the scavenging efforts of fellow
survivors.- Developer Donkey Crew

Halo Infinite
Holiday 2020
Microsoft and 343 are going all-in on this one.
Built in a brand-new engine, and treated as a
“spiritual” reboot of Master Chief’s story,
Halo Infinite will be released on PC alongside
its Xbox launch in 2020. The trailer sees Chief
drifting in space; presumably, he’ll transition
to shooting aliens quickly enough.- Developer 343 Industries

Wasteland 3
TBC 2020
The Wasteland series has quite a rich heritage, often cited as a cult favorite of turn-based RPG
aficionados. This new game is injecting a little more excitement into the post-apocalyptic setting,
with wintery environments and hulking spider tanks. And, uh, clowns? Not quite sure what’s going on
with that...
