Fans are eager to see what happens next to the story that will continue from the previous game.
Anthem
This game might be the only good game that EA can ever release. The game’s story and general feel have led many gamers into loving the game. The cinematic trailer that was released describes the game’s narrative. We hope EA would minimalize micro-transactions for Anthem since that would be an addition to a perfect game recipe.

Many fans are eager for a change from the general style of Nintendo Games. Nintendo Games are usually more cartoony and user-friendly, while this game is a refreshing change to the style.

Even with all the hype, another reason the game has been awaited so much is the amount of theories the game is surrounded by; one dominant theory is that Vergil, one of the main characters might come back in this series which left theorist and fans of Vergil anxious for the next release. The game is speculated to be just as good if not better than Devil May Cry 4.
Hytale
Like many, this game is thought to be just another mock-up of Minecraft. A mock-up of Minecraft it is not. This game is being developed by Hytale Studios, which originates to a Minecraft server, Hypixel. From what we have seen from teasers and the trailer (which has over thirty million views on YouTube) the game is insane, it offers many features, and the soundtracks sound amazing to let alone the map they revealed, and also the UI they teased not too long ago.
