American Truck Simulator

Release date: February 3, 2016


Heavy Duty Truck Simulators from Czech SCS Software are returning to America. The series began 14 years ago with the American Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel, officially considered the third part of the Hard Truck from Softlab NSK, and now, after 14 games, including the super successful, we are again waiting for a trucker job in the USA. As in the case of Europe, SCS Software will begin conquering America from a small area - California, which, however, will contain about 100 cities. And the company plans to cover the entire US territory in the future. So look forward to a string of DLCs.

XCOM 2

Release date: February 5, 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, Linux

The new XCOM will give all fans of tactical strategies the opportunity to take part in a guerrilla war against aliens.

This, and also the unusual way of presenting the story in the conversations of the protagonist with the dispatcher on the radio, plus the strong visuals draw attention to the project.

When the authors of a game series, in which five large projects have already been released, choose a title consisting of one word for the next part, this should indicate a restart of the series. However, the creators of Hitman claim that this is not a restart, but a new beginning for Agent 47. In addition, the developers promise levels 6-7 times more extensive than in, up to 300 NPCs in each mission, plus the ability to save at any time ... Someone will call the last point a betrayal of the ideals of Hitman, but we will wait until the game is released, and then we will draw conclusions.

DOOM

Release Date: Spring 2016

Homefront: The Revolution

Release Date: Spring 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

The sequel, Homefront, also had a tough time getting to players. The studio that created the first part of the shooter was closed, then the owner of the copyright THQ went bankrupt. As a result, in 2013 the rights went to Crytek, but due to financial problems in 2014 they were sold to Koch Media (Deep Silver), which also included the developers of the project. The new Homefront: The Revolution is no longer a mission shooter, but an open world game with tons of side quests, futuristic gadgets, crafting, customizable weapons and a role-playing system. Judging by the videos, it looks interesting, but it's hard to believe in the veracity of the named terms.
