Dying Light

Kick off the New Year with a dose of spookiness and action. Dying Light is a first-person, action survival horror game, from Warner Bros. Interactive, where gamers must survive until the morning's first light by all means necessary. They are up against an extremely vast open world filled with bone-chilling challenges. Once they survive the night, the players use the daylight to look for supplies and any possible weapon to use against opponents. The dangers include a city that was destroyed by a bio-chemical outbreak, infecting a huge chunk of the local populace. Gamers will have to use strategy and creativity to craft weapons against the predators and the infected, which become stronger and more aggressive once the sun goes down. Expect a new league in horror gaming.

But first, the gamer begins from a humble start off the grid on the Karting scene. The game promises unsurpassed levels of physics models and with user-generated content for customisation, gamers can share their mods with players around the world.

Evolve

If driving and strategy aren’t really your thing, and you’re an all-out first-person shooter fan, then Turtle Rock Studios has a monster of a game ready for your consoles next year. It takes first-person multiplayer shooting to a next level with the option to either choose between four Hunters, who go up in arms against a massive beast, also controlled by a player. In the 4 vs. 1 action, you can either choose from four hunter classes, or simply unleash the savage monster with vicious powers to take down the humans. But that’s not all – the planet Shear’s surroundings, both plants and the local wildlife, act hostile to both humans and monsters alike. It’s you against the enemy and the world.
