FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE
3 March / PS4
Square Enix finally gave in to fan demands
and made this gorgeous-looking remake
of the seminal role-playing classic... or
at least the first chunk of it. Cloud and
co look better than ever, but we’ll have
to see whether it’s still brilliant after 23
years. Human League mixtapes ready.

HALO INFINITE

Late 2020 / Xbox Series X & One, PC

With the powerful Xbox Series X (see p18),

now’s the time for Microsoft to restore the

Halo series to its former glory. Halo Infinite,

also releasing on Xbox One and PC, might

be up to the task, putting Master Chief

back in the lead role and packing a sleek

new game engine to boot.

ANIMAL CROSSING:

NEW HORIZONS

20 March / Switch

Nintendo has been quiet on its 2020

plans, and we don’t know if the new Zelda

will make it or not – but we’re keen on

having a chill time in the latest Animal

Crossing life sim, which drops you back

into the colourful town on Switch.

INCOMING

In development for the better part
of a decade, Cyberpunk 2077 is the
latest from CD Projekt Red, the Polish
studio behind the brilliant fantasy
epic The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. As the
name suggests, however, Cyberpunk
2077 is low on witches and warriors;
instead we get a corporate-controlled
future Californian metropolis filled with
cyber-enhanced humans.
The end result looks like Grand
Theft Auto Future, with a grungey
yet hi-tech open city to treat as your
playground while you romp, fight and
explore at will. But there’s a complex
role-playing edge here, as you can
customise your character to suit your
preferred play style.
Want to go in hard with physical
prowess and high gun proficiency?
That’s your call to make. Prefer to
use hacking techniques to manipulate
not only machines and robots, but also
the augmented people who live in the
city? There’s a lot of potential there, as
you might imagine.
Cyberpunk 2077 also tops off its
Matrix-esque allure with a plum role
for Keanu Reeves himself, who stars
as a ‘digital ghost’ that’s at the heart
of this gritty, violent affair.
