List of Next -Xbox Games

After completing a list of announced PlayStation 4 titles and with the Xbox announcement less than a week away I thought it was time to rundown the speculated Xbox 720 (or whatever the hell it will be called) games. I’ll update this following the reveal event tonight….

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag
Assassin's Creed 4 is coming to "next-gen consoles," and has already been confirmed for Sony’s next piece of hardware. Similar to other titles in the series this will hit the Next-Xbox console.

Call of Duty: Ghosts
After the full announcement of the game a few weeks ago, and the expectation for this to be released in the Autumn, you’d be hard pressed not to see Activision porting this onto Next-Gen consoles.

Crytek Next-Gen Game
Perhaps TimeSplitters 4? Crytek are well known as the company that originally revealed the Xbox 720's Durango codename.

Destiny
Destiny is confirmed for both next generation systems – enough said!

Doom 4
Bethesda confirmed that an early version of Doom 4 "did not exhibit the quality and excitement that Id and Bethesda intend to deliver and that Doom fans worldwide expect" and was cancelled in favour of a new one. Rumors suggest that the game is targeting next-generation consoles and that a planned sequel to Rage was cancelled in order to add more members to the Doom 4 project.

Dragon Age III: Inquisition
Despite being announced by BioWare for a release in 2013, the resume of an EA Shanghai level designer suggested that the "scope" of the game has changed and that it "will be postponed to 2014" and "target next gen platforms."

EA Sports Titles
Maybe his is a given but we all know that EA will release the likes of Fifa and NBA on next generation – and no doubt this will be shortly after the consoles release so they can still keep players involved in their yearly franchises.

Fallout 4
Although there has been no announcement what-so-ever this major franchise is typically placed by Bethesda to bi-release against The Elder Scrolls series. Skyrim was their last major release, so expect another apocalyptic world at some point soon.

Forza Motorsport 5
An anonymous source suggested that a new entry in the Forza series will be a launch title on the next Xbox. A job listing also suggested in 2012 that a next-gen version was in the works.

Halo 5
Before the release of Halo 4, 343 Industries confirmed that it was the first part of a new Halo trilogy. Obviously this ‘trilogy’ will hit next generation consoles and you would imagine that, even if the release is a long way off, Microsoft will want to show this mega-title off as early as possible.

Ready at Dawn
The developers of the God of War PSP games are developing "an exciting new AAA IP for a Next-Generation home console game system." Enough said.

Ryse
An anonymous source suggested recently that Ryse (the first-person Roman combat game) has been "re-worked into a next-generation game designed to be Microsoft's new Gears of War / Halo mega launch title.” The game is said to “take advantage of the new body tracking improvements in the next Kinect sensor.”

Square-Enix "Luminous" Games
Square-Enix has been showing off its "Luminous" tech engine, capable of highly realistic next-gen graphics for almost a year. Luminous will make games 30% cheaper and shorten development cycles. It would be silly not to show off your engine with a release of your own.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Witcher 3 was officially announced by CD Projekt RED for release in 2014 and is set to target "all top of the line consoles and PC." It was advertised as "a next generation RPG."

Thief
Square-Enix's reboot of Thief was announced for PlayStation 4 "and other next-gen platforms" for release in 2014. Those of you whom read GamesTM this month will have seen the interesting design features and the honesty that Dishonoured has made a market for the series to be relaunched.

Watch Dogs
You can almost guarantee that this ‘Big-Brother’ style hacker/open-world/crime thriller will hit the next Xbox around the same time it is released on the PS4.

Wolfenstein: The New Order
Bethesda and MachineGames' next Wolfenstein game has been announced for "next-gen consoles" and is coming at the end of 2013 – you can guarantee that this will be a multiple platform project for them.
