ELDEN RING
When we heard, around the time of its announcement, that Elden Ring was going to be essentially “open-world Dark Souls”, we weren’t entirely confident in the summary. Because isn’t that precisely what Dark Souls fans would ask for? And when did get fans get what they want? (And, in the rare cases that it happens, when have the results stood up to close scrutiny?) And yet here we are looking forward to one of 2022’s biggest games delivering pretty much everything Dark Souls devotees yearn for: screen-filling bosses, endlessly rewarding character builds, secrets by the sackful – plus magic, multiplayer and a whole lot more besides.

STARFIELD
Perhaps the two most important words of Microsoft’s showcase came just a few minutes in, at the end of a teaser for Bethesda’s next open-world epic: ‘Xbox exclusive’. It wasn’t the only time we would see them, but this was the moment it became crystal clear that Microsoft would never have spent $7.5bn on the studio behind Skyrim and Fallout if it didn’t plan to keep at least some of its output to itself.

REDFALL
Which is fortunate, because learning that this team is working on an open-world co-op shooter with vampires is frankly disappointing. There was no shortage of Left-4-Dead-alike at this year’s show and, at first glance, it doesn’t seem like a structure that plays to Arkane’s strengths. But then we consider that the Austin team’s previous project was Mooncrash, a Prey expansion that pushed the immersive sim into Roguelike territory – not to mention Deathloop’s exciting experiments with multiplayer – and Redfall makes sense as an evolution of this lineage, rather than simply a comfortable repetition.

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD 2
As Nintendo’s own press site calls it, Sequel To The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild cannot have its official title unveiled just yet, because it might give too much away – a clue to something significant about this much-anticipated successor.
