FromSoftware is coming off of one of the most impressive exclusives of all time in Bloodborne and it is now time for them to flex their muscle in Dark Souls III. The game looks phenomenal and the April 12th release date is right around the corner.

It has been difficult to watch gameplay trailers and not be reminded of Bloodborne. It seems as if Dark Souls III took more cues from Bloodborne than we expected. No matter, this game should certainly please new and old fans of the franchise and is sure to be an epic conclusion.

No Man’s Sky

Release date: June 21st, 2016
Releasing for: PS4 and PC

Ready or not, here comes No Man’s Sky and its 18-trilion planets. This game is absurdly large with only its hype being larger. Gamers are excited for the game to hit retailers on June 21st.

No Man’s Sky is sure to be talked about upon release. It honestly feels as if we have been hearing about this game and The Division forever. The fact that they will finally release probably comes as a surprise to some gamers. Hopefully, the surprise that awaits us on June 21st is a good one.

What will you play?

These games will be out soon but they are not all that is coming. What games do you want to play that are coming out soon? Which one of these are you most excited about? Personally, Doom has my eye and, since Halo 5 was a dud for me, I am hoping it becomes my go-to first person shooter.

It is hard not be excited with the upcoming slate of releases. 2016 is shaping up to be another strong year in the world of video games.
